When i opened my PayPal account, unknowingly I used 'Business' in type. Now PayPal asked to provide "Form W-8BEN-E". I never intended a business account, now I want to close my account and convert it to 'personal' so I could receive payments for my online services from different sources. But, I am not allowed until this outstanding issue is resolved. What should I do?
There is no automatic way to downgrade a business account to a personal account, you have to contact customer services and they will do that for you.
Click help / contact bottom left of Paypal pages for options available for your country.
Or have you considered contacting Customer Service via Facebook or Twitter? You can send them a personal message from their facebook or twitter pages. It's: https://www.facebook.com/PayPal and @AskPayPal for Twitter. OR You could just close your business account (removing all subscriptions / financial info etc first) and open a personal one.
