US citizen moving to France. So from my understanding: 1. Print transaction details (How can I recieve extensive records?) 2. Close my account on US soil before getting a foreign phone number. 3. Open a French paypal account (Also, Can I make payments to the US from a French account? Dollar/Euro Conversions? )

You should find all of the information you need on how to download your transaction history Here. You can make payments to anywhere in the world that accepts PayPal.
