Unable to change registration country back to Europe from US

I changed my registration country to the USA from Poland back in 2015 and it was doable. Now I want to change it back to Poland and was told it wasn't possible because of the eBay payments enabled on my account. Can anyone please actually confirm this is indeed impossible?

 

I have an account in a very good standing and occasionally need to sell something, it would literally cost me hundreds in lost revenue if I started from scratch with another account.

This does seem to be the case most of the time. Managed Payments operate in zones,  the US has it's own zone as does the EU while almost all other countries are under a third zone (I think there is a fourth for parts of Asia).

 

From what I understand you can move your location within a zone without a problem but you cannot move your location from one zone to another.

 

 

You might dig through the Terms Of Use for MP on this page:

Maybe there is a way.........
