Nothing but the sound of silence from PayPal themselves, I see! I have a similar problem, though not exactly the same, which I'm about to raise as a new topic. I live in France but I have a UK sterling bank account and a UK paypal account from when I lived in the UK. I can't change the address on the PayPal account because the system only allows to input UK addresses (unlike our UK bank, which has a French address and our bank is happy with it). Since moving abroad I've continued to use PayPal for without problem to take sterling payments from UK customers. The money stays in the UK and is never converted to Euros - we transfer it to our UK sterling bank account. Recently I've been asked to provide address verification details in the form of a bill, but of course the address won't match. I've contacted PayPal via the "HELP!" buttons several times over the last three months but I've had no reply. I wonder if there's any chance of PayPal addressing (no pun intended) the problem? If I hear anything I'll post here again to let you know.
