That's where you have me wrong. I haven't moved country. I work in another country but my life is still in the the UK. My bank is there. My home is there. I have to work abroad as there is not so much work available in the UK these days, as many others have also had to do as well. I think it's easy for you to say open up another PayPal account in China but have you tried it? Do you know anything about China and how it works with outsiders? From what you say I don't think you do. There is little done in China to help Westerners adapt. No systematization's of banks and other organizations to help them. No ID cards for Westerners in China. If I read Chinese, which I don't, I might have a chance but, as I said, I don't and China doesn't like Westerners in China sending money out or buying outside of China. They have a firewall which is specifically targeted at keeping out Western influence. I don't think you have really thought through what you have so confidently proposed to me. Hundreds of thousands or workers are now having to work abroad. for instance, in the UK many jobs are actually advertised outside of the UK, not in it. I would suggest that PayPal had a closer look at this and helped by being a bit more flexible internationally with it's customers. The world is moving on but, I have noticed, many businesses are not. That, I suggest is where the problem really lies. By the way. I tried what you suggested once while working in South Korea. It was a complete waste of time for a variety of reasons. One being that PayPal communicated with me, and still does, in Korean. I tried many times to get you to stop it and communicate in English but I couldn't. The account is still open but is unusable. Hope you see what I'm getting at here.
