I created my paypal account sometime 2006. I never got to use it up until now that I started to earn thru blogging. And then I realized my account was unverified meaning I can’t withdraw, transfer my funds although unverified accounts can still receive payments…So, in order to verify my account I would need to add a bank account or a credit card…The problem is, my paypal account was created United States as its country of residence (demn) so there’s no way I could ever verify that. I had several attempts of contacting paypal’s help team and got really stupid emails…why stupiiiiiiiiidddddd??? here’s what transpired.

FIRST ATTEMPT: July 1 (sorry I can’t post my first email to paypal because I used a mobilephone so there’s no way of tracking my first ever email..anyhoo here’ the reply:)

Hello, my name is EL and I’ll be glad to assist you with your question regarding your address. When changing your street address, you will be unable to change your country of residence.

1. Log in to your account at https://www.paypal.com/
2. Click the “Profile” subtab.
3. Click the “Close Account” link located under “Account Information” and follow the online instructions.
To open a new account:
1. Visit https://www.paypal.com/
2. Select the “Personal” radio button for a Personal or Premier account. Select the “Business” radio button for a Business account.
3. Choose a Country from the drop down menu.
4. Click “Continue.”
5. Fill out the form. *The Business account form has two pages to complete.
6. Click the “Sign Up” button at the bottom of the page. You will be taken to a new page. Follow the directions to confirm your email address. Once the email address is confirmed, the PayPal account will be ready to use! It is my pleasure to assist you.
