I received a W9 warning that the tax number and the name on my account do not match. When I set up this account I had a former employee do it and used my business tax id number. I would like to change the account name to my own or my business name so the information matches. I think I also need to change the type of account it is from personal to business. Is there a way to do this? I have tried to contact Paypal but all I get is automated emails back.

Is the account in your name and your address or some other name and address?
You need to phone PayPal support for more help.
It may not be fixable if you didn't use your own name.
