I had to open a thai account when I moved here and I still have my aussie account I can use when I go back there, just needed to have a thai bank account set up for online purchases to use my thai paypal, no problems

Same I did. All problems solved.

It's very hard or even impossible for me to open one.And I dont think I want one just for Paypal anyway.

I don't have any utility bills so I suppose that is that on that card but i might try again with one of my other cards.

I won't waste 2 much time but i like PayPal because it easy to pay people with.Including friends and family when I owe them money in the UK or tradesman etc.And I aways prefer to pay with PayPal instead of putting my credit cards in things when it works which has always been before for me its very handy.

I have UK and Thai addresses in my Ebay profile and switch between the two (if necessary) prior to making payment. My bank a/c is in UK at that billing address and paypal is tied to it.

Before I came here (feb 2014) I set up payments to friends family with one of my uk banks......paypal I only used for ebay purchases delivered to my alternate uk delivery address (my sons home) payments taken from my UK bank and all was fine until a couple of months ago until I got the same <deleted> you have received from them.....OK after going through the third degree I closed my account BUT I can still make purchases from ebay through my uk DEBIT card which is still recognised by paypal,it expires late next year so maybe then paypal will refuse to accept or update it....in the meantime I can still use it provided the seller accepts "other forms of payment" most do but there are those that take payments "only through paypal" which is entirely different to payment by credit/debit card which are "verified" by paypal.

Hope U understand....apparently paypal uk does not allow anyone apparently living (temp. or permanent) overseas to be registered with them...you must register with the appropriate paypal account in the country you reside in

That's what I did to but then they somehow put 2 and 2 together and I got flagged when I paid for world of war craft.The same could happen to you.

I was thinking that if i try with my other cards but it's to late now as they want to see bills from the UK.

 

Dose anyone know what you need in the UK to open a new account?

I guess it depends what you are doing.

I've got 3 accounts.  One for Hong Kong, one for UK and one for Thailand.   I use all 3 from Thailand, all from the same computer, and often all one after the other.

I've never had any issue.    But what has worked for me may not work for you.
