International Bank accounts

[imkamp]

Hi people - I have a US paypal account, linked with my US bank accounts, but now I need to add a German bank account, as I am living and working here. IT IS NOT AN OPTION to close my US account, as it's a major hassle to get anything done regarding US banks when you're not in the US, and I worry that subsequently, I won't be able to re-link my US accounts to either a German or an American account. I only have one email address, and so creating a second separate account is a) not desirable and b) not a reasonable expectation of a customer in order for them to use basic services. SO. What the f can I do? How can I get all of my accounts on Paypal???

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

The only exception is U.S expats can add their bank accounts to other countries paypal accounts (paypal is a U.S company so they allow their citizens to do this).

You are allowed 2 paypal accounts in EACH country but x1 has to be personal and the other x1 is business.
