Hi,
I started my business paypal account many years ago when I had a small home based business. I would like to change my paypal account to a personal account (keeping all the financial info the same) but am unsure how to do this. Is it even possible?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Natasha

Hi Natasha,
It's quite easy to downgrade a Premier PayPal account to a Personal PayPal account... I don't know if it's the same for a Business PayPal account.
After logging in to your PayPal account, try using the "Email Us" option of the PayPal "Contact Us" - link. If there isn't a selection to downgrade your PayPal account, use the "Call Us" option to speak to PayPal customer service.

Hi flowerhope,
sandypurins is correct and I can confirm that the process is the same for Business accounts as well. 🙂 A downgrade has to be done manually so Customer Service would need to be contacted.
