How can I close my limited account when I'm no longer living in the country it's valid for?
I lived in the US for a short while, and created a US PayPal account, but never got around to confirming my location, so my account is limited. I now live in Norway, with no chance of "confirming my location", since I don't live in the US anymore (doh), and I can't close the account since it's limited.
This would be fine if it wasn't for the multiple e-mails I receive each week about "Your PayPal funds are now eligible for withdrawal.", referring to my 0.5$ or something that's in my account.
I've tried e-mailing and calling PayPal about this several times, but all I get back is machine-generated replies of the type "oh, your account is limited you say, then please go to the website to confirm your location", completely ignoring the fact that I _can't_ verify a location I don't live anymore.
I can't:
- change/remove the e-mail (since it's limited)
- change the country
- verify my location (since I don't live in the US anymore)
- close the account (since it's limited)
How can I close this account for good, so that I can get on with my life and get rid of the weekly PayPal spam?
Thanks!
