Hi I've been trying to get hold of the PayPal team for the past couple of days. I mistakenly set my Personal account to a business account and want to change it back! I have tried calling PayPal but everytime it goes to connect and rings for 20 seconds then I hera a message "covid 19 etc etc" then cuts me off. I can't change the account type back myself so how am I supoosed to change it back now!?

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/PayPalUK and @AskPayPal for Twitter.
OR
You could just close your business account (removing all subscriptions / financial info etc first) and open a personal one.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Hello,
I have set my account up wrongly and need to change it back to a personal account. Everytime I try and contact live agents it says they are offline however the time in PT is only 11am?
Please advise the next steps?

I am making this because I need to change my account from a business account to a personal account. It would have been smarter to have a support email but sure this works as well

Hey. I was wondering how I can make my account go back to just a regular account, not a business account? Do you have any idea how I can make my account back to a regular account, not a business account?
