Paypal in 2008 |

When I moved to Spain, I was surprised to see that Paypal didn't let you change the country of your home address.
Well, it's 2008, and I want to add my new address in Belgium to my account. Guess what ?
"When moving from country to country, you will need to close your existing account and open a new account in the country where you will be residing.
For example, if you move from the U.S. to Canada, you will need to close your U.S. account and open a Canadian account. If you move from Canada to the U.S., you will need to close your Canadian account and open a U.S. account."
It's 2008 and nothing changed on the Paypal website.
Sadly, I know some of the problems PayPal was having was in regards to laws about banking.
I wonder if there is some legal requirement for that?

Same happened to me when moving from Finland to Spain. And the whole interface was painful. Trying to use a different credit card with the old address not allowed, using same credit card on two accounts no allowed… 0% score in usability.
I also hate when some on-line payment systems only accept credit cards from the host country (try to buy a spanish bus ticket / train with a non-spanish credit card).
