Re: Location of my PayPal account

Hi:   I NEVER registered for PayPal Thailand and have ALWAYS been registered in PayPal USA for 20 years plus. I never asked to reregister for Thailand or any other country. Also, when contacting PayPal Thailand to have them STOP all correspondence they promised me that my PayPal account was secure in the USA and not in Thailand. I travel the world and if I happen to travel to Germany, does my PayPal account get changed to that country if I am there for a few months??? Does not make any common sense. I am an American citizen and want my PayPal in the USA and NOT in any other country, otherwise I will need to quit PayPal and choose another money transfer system unfortunately after 20 years of using PayPal.    Thanks,   Stan ...

Location of my PayPal account

I have had a PayPal account in the USA for the past 20+ years since the founding of PayPal. All of my transactions have been through this account. Although I partly reside in Thailand, for some reason PayPal Thailand took over my account. They started sending me messages that "all Thailand PayPal accounts must now be for COMMERCIAL COMPANIES and not personal accounts." This is I understand a new law in Thailand starting 2022. I contacted PayPal Thailand and the agent said that he would now transfer all of their account for me (which I NEVER authorized them to hold anyway) back to PayPal USA so I do not have any problems with sending money to the USA as I often do. However, I am still getting text messages from PayPal Thailand to "please change my account information to conform with the new Thai laws." I want NOTHING to do with the Thailand operation of PayPal and only use my USA account for any money transfers. The agent in Thailand acknowledged that he had made this change but I am still getting PayPal Thailand messages all of the time. Please check that the changes which I requested have been made so I do not have any problems sending money to the USA. Thanks, Stan ... View more
