Cannot change account address
Summary: Anonymous User expresses frustration about an address error on his eBay account, which wrongly says he is based in China, and he hasn’t been able to fix it. francexpressdeal suggests creating a new account, although Anonymous User insists that he is registered in Marseille. koalagris suggests checking an eBay discussion thread to change an account’s region and points out that, with few ratings, creating a new account might not be a big deal. Anonymous User seems resigned and shows little attachment to his old account.
Hello,
I have tried (in vain) to have my address, which says I am based in a province in China, corrected.
All my attempts, whether through the site option (reply: not available at this time) or by trying to contact an eBay representative, have ended in failure.
So I only have one option left: close my account and open a new one, but I would lose my transaction history and my rating....
Any other suggestions if others have managed to solve this kind of problem?

you registered in China:
So yes, it’s preferable to create a new account.

See this thread:

That said, with 33 feedback ratings and an account that’s been dormant for years, creating a new account isn’t exactly a big deal...
Best regards
P.S.: for your own good, don’t post personal info on the forum.
