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 / bank accounts / cards from within that country.
The only exception is you can add a U.S bank account to other countries paypal accounts.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.

As i said above you can't add another countries phone number to a country specific paypal account.
And if you continue trying to use a U.S paypal account in Germany then you will hit further problems.

@kernowlasssays "The only exception is you can add a U.S bank account to other countries paypal accounts."
That is wrong, at least here in Germany. I opened a Paypal DE account to try dealing with these international hurdles but can only add an IBAN account (not an ACH as in the U.S.).
Here's PayPal's list of IBAN countries (hint, the U.S. is not on it):
- Austria
- Belgium
- Bulgaria
- Croatia
- Cyprus
- Czech Republic
- Denmark
- Estonia
- Finland
- France
- Germany
- Greece
- Hungary
- Ireland
- Italy
- Latvia
- Lithuania
- Luxembourg
- Malta
- Monaco
- Netherlands
- Norway
- Poland
- Portugal
- Romania
- San Marino
- Slovakia
- Slovenia
- Spain
- Sweden
- United Kingdom
I was able to get an IBAN after setting up a Transferwise account but have been waiting days for PayPal's obnoxious "penny deposits" to go through.
Deployed US service members often live on post and have no address other than their APO box. They have no in-country address to use for these sorts of financial transactions. PayPal clearly doesn't care about receiving the business of those who serve.
