Using Paypal without having a card or bank linked or phone number but having paypal balance?

[rdhalla_sg]

I opened rdhalla_sg account in Singapore mainly so that I can pay for my PlayStation transactions. I use to have a card and bank account from Singapore linked to this account. I have moved to Australia now and no longer live in Singapore.

My playstation account was also created in Signapore. So Playstation requires me to have a method of payment originating from Singapore. 

I didn't really keep a lot of balance in my Singapore bank account for security reasons and I never topped up my paypal account "rdhalla_sg" from my bank account. I would usually ask my friend to transfer some money to my paypal so I can make the transactions. Having low balanced in my Singapore bank account resulted in termination of my bank account and my bank card.  Now my "rdhalla_sg" paypal account  has no card or bank linked to it. 

Q1. I was wondering if I can still continue using it as long as i have balance in my account but card or account linked to it ?

Q2. I also do not have access to my phone number that is linked to my Singapore Paypal. Should I be worried? It doesnt let me add my Australia no.

Alternatively I was thinking of opening another Australian Paypal account and send money from that to my Singapore paypal account. I don't know if this is workable method or should I be looking at other options. I just really want to keep all my transactions in one spot. I don't want to start over with making a new playstation and new Paypal account. Its a big mess and i am just looking for answers.

Paypal is country specific so if you move country you have to open another paypal account in that country 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.

Thank you for your time and thank you for you explanation. I am aware that Paypal is linked to a country. 

But my question is something else. 

My question is that, If i am able to make purchases without having a bank or card linked to my account? Provided that i have paypal balance in my account.

You 'may' for a while but at some point Paypal security will kick in and stop you until you link a card to 'verify' that Paypal account and provide a back up funding source.
