Norman Verona Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I get an email from Paypal France telling me my registered credit card has expired, which it has. I need to click on the link to update it. Rather than do that, for security reasons, I log on to www.paypal.fr. I will not accept my password so I click "forgotten password". Email arrives and I follow instructions. Reset the password and the security questions. Get logged in and after a minute or so searching find my details. They're my UK details! After a bit of cursing, which I can't reproduce here, I use the link on the original email and log on. My UK details again. To hell with Paypal they can swing from now on.

Norman Verona Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Scott, my UK paypal is OK but I have to have a French paypal account as well to buy off ebay France. This is because they can't manage to accept a UK card registered to a French address. So I change my credit card address to a UK address and my ebay purchases from the UK are now OK. But then my purchases from France won't work so I use my Carte Bancaire And all is well. That card has just beenj renewed and needs the new expiry dates entering. It was this I was trying to do.

Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Norman, I presume you are using 2 different email address and 2 eBay names as well ? Might help to keep them completely seperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peet Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Just a general note about paypal - if they email asking for any personal details from you password/bank details etc they will always address you with your name not 'dear customer' etc anything else is a scam.

Terry Everall Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I have no sympathy If you go live in France you have to take the consequences C'est la vie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 Terry, I wasn't looking for sympathy, just reporting the stupidity of PayPal. Like when I lost my credit card. To enter a new credit card number you have to enter the old number as proof it's you. I gave up in the end and opened a new account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
