I want to delete my account. I changed my country already and I can't withdraw the remaining amount. What should I do?

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.
Contact options for each countries Paypal customer services are accessed by clicking help/contact bottom left of Paypal pages.
1. Paypal phones when available (you can use the guest option if you can't log in).
2. Live chat is also randomly available.
3. You can send them a message, during business hours you may also be able to message whilst logged out.
Or
4. Have you considered contacting Customer Service via Facebook or Twitter?
You can send them a personal message from their Facebook or Twitter pages.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.

I know but the live chat option isn't working and I can't contact anyone from Paypal. my leave was not planned so I didn't close the account. this has to be solved if they don't allow country change and I can't withdraw the money now.

Hi @nergiscetin1,
Thank you for your post.
I do understand your concern. PayPal is county specific. This means the country of your PayPal account cannot be changed.
If you require assistance withdrawing your funds, I would suggest you contact us on Facebook or Twitter. This can be done on our official Facebook page or @AskPayPal for Twitter.
I hope you get this sorted!
