Using Paypal abroad

[Mizuchi]

Hello, I have been living in a different country for the past 4 months and have changed my phone number. Paypal is not letting me change the number on my account; as a result of the poor system I cannot log into a second account due to the old number being deactivated.

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.

You should really withdraw any funds / resolve issues / remove cards and bank accounts before you move countries. If you don't then you may have problems doing so once you have moved and may need to contact customer services for help to resolve things.

There are some exceptions as some bank accounts can be linked to specific Paypal accounts in some countries.
