How can I open a PayPal Business account for a UK Ltd while being a german resident

[UndercoverEcom]

Hey, bascially just as described in the title. 

Ive recently opened a UK ltd for my Ecom activities, I live in germany. Now I want to create a PayPal business account for my UK Ltd, but its asking me to provide a residential address inside of the UK. Is there really no way to open a PayPal business account if you are not a resident in the UK? 

This sounds pretty weird to me tbh.. why would it be a problem to set up a business account for a company & not have a resident in that same country.. 

Lmk if you know anything, thanks!

Paypal is country specific so you have to open a paypal account in the country you reside in and add an address / phone number / bank accounts / cards from within that country.

I tried that. But if I want to open a german paypal Account, its demanding a german business address, but my business is located in the US. The problem is that my business country is different from my residential country I think

You’ll need to talk to customer service for assistance.

I found this post:

You’ll have to figure out a way with PayPal customer service to update the UK business account to your Germany home/residential address and while keeping the business address UK-based because generally only UK based addresses can be entered from the user’s end. Maybe PayPal can do it, maybe not.
