U.K. Verses USA account

[whisper1963]

Good morning all !

I have lived in the USA for a couple of years now but still retain my U.K. PayPal, I've tried to link my American bank account/ card to the account but it won't let me, any ideas to overcome this issue or do I need to cancel my U.K. account and start all over again.

Many thanks in advance.

Paypal is country specific so if you move countries you have to open another paypal account in the country you reside in and add an address / phone number / and bank accounts from within that country.

You are supposed to withdraw any funds / resolve issues / remove cards and bank accounts before you leave your old country. If you don't then you may have problems doing so once you have moved.
