Trogg:- e.g. you cannot send or receive money to a UK PayPal account from a Spanish Bank account
So does that mean that you cannot move monies from a UK paypal account into a Spanish Paypal account, and then fund into a Spanish bank account linked to that…...from that?
I am slightly confused - Maybe I have misunderstood….?
PayPal isn’t ready for expats. I don’t eBay, but I have an editing business and to accept credit cards in dollars and euros and then be able to deposit that money into either my American or Spanish bank accounts, I have four PayPal accounts: one business account and one personal account linked to my American bank and another set of accounts linked to my Spanish bank. If for some reason I want to turn some of the euros into dollars, or vice versa, I move it from the business account in question to the personal account, then to the personal account in the other country, and next into my bank account. (If I did this all through the business accounts, I would get charged a transaction fee - twice on the same money! This is on top of PayPal’s exchange rate, which isn’t the best but not the worst.) This method is a bit complicated perhaps, but it works out.
