I emigrated to New Zealand over 2 years ago and have changed my address in Paypal. however I can't remove UK from my address and have to clarify every time I buy something that postage is to NZ and not to just print the address off PayPal. Any ideas??

Yes you should be able to once you have closed the old account.

But i would leave it a while before trying as although paypal say you can others have had issues doing so, so i would leave at least 72 hours to allow paypals system to play catch up.

Hello, 

 

I've moved countries and I wish to change my current address to a Polish address, where I'm currently residing.

I have money on the account and I can't withdraw because my new back accounts cards from the new location, are not linked with the old billing adress. So is there a possibility of changing countries & addresses given that I have money on the account, without having to close the account? 

 

Best Regards

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.

Can anyone please help me? I have left Australia and want to change my country of residence in my paypal account but when I try to log in it says they'll send a code to my old Aussi phone number that doesn't exist now. Keeps going in circles. Thanks.
