Hi folks! I'm trying to switch to a business account, however it doesn't seem to want to accept my last name, since there's a hyphen in it. Unfortunately, as soon as I log in it asks for this verification, but the last name field is uneditable and won't allow me to proceed.

 

So now I'm locked out of my account entirely, and I have a customer waiting for me to fix this. Is there some way to change my name without logging in?

Hi @voidacademy,

 

I'm sorry to hear that there is difficulty in getting your account set up. If you are unable to log in to complete the name change request, please contact customer service to get assistance. To contact customer service, please click Help & Contact at the bottom of any PayPal page for contact options, or reach out by Facebook or Twitter.

 

I hope this helps!

Thanks for responding I guess.

 

Chat support was zero help, so I guess I'll wait an hour on hold instead and try my luck over the phone.

 

Can you explain why it might have rejected my last name, and why this discrepancy is completely locking me out of my account?

Hi @voidacademy,

 

I regret that I would be unable to tell without being able to look at the account to troubleshoot. A representative over one of the support channels would be able to offer the needed account-specific assistance. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi @nhassan99,

 

Sorry to hear about the trouble withdrawing funds. 😞 Based on what you've said, it sounds like we're wanting verification using your phone before we're allowing the withdrawal. Is that correct? And when this happens, you're not able to use your phone? Do you receive any kind of error message?

 

If you're unable to add the phone or use it for verification, we may need you to contact us so that we can assist with the verification process. You can also reach out on Facebook or Twitter for assistance.

Hey @Szacher,

 

Great question - regrettably, this is still an ongoing issue we're working to solve. We appreciate your patience while we resolve the problem and get everything up and running again.
