Hi all
I set up my paypal account quite a while ago, cannot remember why but I have recently taken some freelance work that exclusively pays through the Paypal service.
Through multiple hoop-jumps, it appears my account is set to location Switzerland despite me living in the UK and never going to Switzerland. I've tried changing my address but it is locked on Switzerland to the point where I cannot add new bank cards because it requires a swiss address.
Do I have to create a new account? This seems like something that could be easily fixed but for some reason nothing seems to work
Thanks

When you register a paypal account the first thing you do is select your country from the drop down list, you must have accidentally clicked on Switzerland by mistake.
You can't change a country on a paypal account and that countries paypal account is useless to you.
You need to close that one if you can and open a UK one.
