Buying in Mainland China with UK account

[GeorgiePorgie72]

Hi there,

I'm currently based in Singapore and want to buy goods from a China company in Guangdong.  The problem is my account is UK based (in £'s) and won't accept the entry of a delivery address here in Singapore.  The system rejects the enrty as it does not have a UK postcode.

Q.  How can I resolve this issue?  Any ideas?

Thanks and regards

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 / and bank accounts from within that country.

You are supposed to withdraw any funds / resolve issues / remove cards and bank accounts before you leave your old country. If you don't then you may have problems doing so once you have moved.

HOWEVER you are allowed to have 2 Paypal accounts in 2 countries as long as x1 is personal and the other x1 is business.
