Hi,
This is the information Paypal told me to add as a payee:
Name of payee
PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A.
Bank of the Payee
Deutsche Bank
IBAN from PayPal
[Removed. Phone #s not permitte[Removed. Phone #s not permitted]/p>
[removed]
However, my UK bank account, HSBC, requires an address, and where the bank account is located.
If I put UK, it asks me for the sort code and I can't find this information.
If I put Germany, it wants to convert to euros, refuses to convert into pounds...
I'm very much confused, I want to send GBP.
Best,
Dune

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.
You can however in some countries add a U.S bank account (not card) to your paypal account. This is because paypal is a U.S company.
If you have that option then it should show in your paypal wallet.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.

@kernowlass I have added my bank just fine. I reside in the UK and added a UK bank.
Now I need to send GDP money from my bank to Paypal's bank, whatever it is. This is the problem, I don't have Paypal bank coordinates that would let me pay in GDP seemingly?
