Moved country but cannot change region.

Hi,

I moved from the UK to the Falkland Islands and I want to change my PayPal account so I can pay for the sub renewal next month.

When I try to change my PayPal account I receive the message "Your Paypal billing country or region does not match the country or region we have on file."

The help page says I need to contact Adobe to change my region, which I keep attempting to do.

The lady I spoke to on the phone said she had changed my details but I still receive the message, and everytime I phone again or use the online chat the conversation is terminated once they look up my details. I have phoned several times and am often put on hold for a long time (sometimes over an hour) while they look into my issue, then the call is ended. (Please don't think this is a moan, just pointing out I cannot get any help this way).

I think my problem lies in that the Falkland Islands does not fall under any of the Adobe recognised regions, even though I was assured that I could amend my details when I started my sub last year.

Anyone have any ideas on what I can do?

The country associated with your adobe id must match the store you purchase from and must match the payment address.  otherwise, change what's necessary to make your purchase:

Thank you for the links.

Unfortunately, they say to call Adobe to change the region on my account. This is what I do but don't seem to get very far before being cut off.

Anything I try manually will not accept the Falkland Islands or has the UK in a field that I cannot change.
