Ebay/Paypal help!

Options
Hi

I used to live in Spain and had a Spanish paypal account linked to my ebay.co.uk account. Now that we're back I've set up a new paypal account but, for the life of me, can't fine where on ebay I can delete the existing (Spanish) paypal account and link my new (UK) paypal account to be ebay account - hope that makes sense? :confused:

Can anyone help?

TIA

  • Aaarrrghhh!!

    I've just closed my Spanish paypal a/c and lost my grand total of 4 euros :o ! I then tried to register my ebay account fees to be paid automatically by my new UK paypal account but the settings on my ebay acount are still converting the fees into euros! Maybe I registered originally with ebay.es. Is there any way that I can get the account moved to ebay.co.uk? I don't want to open a new account because than I will loose my 100% feedback.

    Please help!

    Sounds complicated... I think you'd be best off ringing paypal!

    Do you really need to move the ebay account? Surely you can just log in to .co.uk with your existing details?

  • Hi Fay

    Thanks for replying. I can log into .co.uk and have done all my buying/selling this way. The only problem is that all the fees, etc are now in euros. I wonder if it's possible tro jus transfer the a/c to UK ebay from Spain.

    I've searched the website but can't find a telephone number...any idea where I can find one?

    Thanks for your help on this!

    for paypal.

    You MAY have some success with ebay's email support... there's a phone helpline but I'm not sure if everyone can use it yet.

  • Thanks so much for your help!

    I sent a long, waffling email to ebay this morning and, within a few hours they got back to me. They confirmed that the a/c was registered in Spain but will transfer it all over for me - RESULT!! :beer:
