Another update!

Good news and bad news.

The good news is that today I got a response - to my initial submission of the 7th of July! So not 48 hours, not two days, but two months later!

And the bad news:

"For tax and security reasons, we are unable to change the country orterritory field of an existing payment address. Therefore, if you wouldn like to change your country/territory field, you'll need to close your
current AdSense account and then submit a new application with your updated mailing address.

Prior to closing your account, please be aware that the account settings and reports associated with your original account cannot be transferred to your new account. This means that you'll need to update your webpages with
the ad code generated by your new account and duplicate any existing channel settings."

Is this for real? Apparently so because I am moving from euro reporting to GBP reporting. If only I'd stuck to dollars instead of local currency . . .

Although when Google changed me from dollars to euros I didn't have to start a nw account, change all my code, etc.,

So basically I have to close my account and start again, changing code on literally thousands of pages?!?!

And that's after waiting to be approved for a new account. How many months will that take?!?!

Somebody tell me this isn't so :-(

The best thing about Adsense and working online is the freedom it should give you to work from anywhere in the world.

I just don't need this amount of unnecessary work.
