When I moved to France I opened a Paypal account (new email address) in France, linked to my new, permanent, French address. I use this account for all euro-based transactions. Until recently I continued to use my UK Paypal account, since I still make UK (£-based) transactions. As my UK credit card has now expired I had to update my UK Paypal account. However, Paypal UK insist that my French address is invalid and that I must have a UK address. I had no problem in adding my French address to my UK Payapl account when removing my UK address some years ago,since it links to my credit-card address. The French Paypal account allows only euro-based accounts to be registered (though it allows US addresses as well as French!). I do not want the hassle of having to go through exchange rate costs, etc, by using only a France-based Paypal account for every £UK transaction. What can I do, please? (NB there are urgent transactions coming up).
