Hey, I set up my Paypal account in 2013 in the US. I am German and I don´t have an American bank account nor Social Security Number. I have been trying for a while now to access/accept the money on my account but I can´t seem to transfer it to my (German) credit card or use it otherwise. What can be done to access my funds?

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 / cancel any subscriptions and close the old Paypal account 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.
You can however add a U.S bank account (not card) to 'most' other countries paypal accounts. This is because paypal is a U.S company and so allows this.
