So I'm moving to the US...

[lokijeep]

Hi all... long time no see but it's good to see so many familiar faces still!

So I'm moving to the US around September-October of this year; is it still not possible to transfer a Canadian seller account to a US one? I'd like to continue using this one and just change my addy, etc. Thanks!

It looks like you can keep your name and register on the U.S. site.

I hope that you enjoy living in the U.S. 🙂

Here's what we found for "registering in a new country"

You can change your home country or region by updating your registration information. You can keep your current username.

To update your registration information:

1. Click My eBay and sign in.
2. Click the Account tab, and click Addresses on the left side of the page.
3. Click Change to the far right of your Registration Address (For added security, you may be asked to sign in again).
4. Enter any changes, and click the Change registration information button.
5. Review your information and then click Submit.

Thanks! I tested that out and the drop down menu to change to the US is there... I seem to remember a time that wasn't possible.

It's PayPal where you have a problem.......you will have to open a new PayPal account in the USA.

You can keep the Canadian one but you are supposed to downgrade it to a Personal account.
