If its the account you are posting your question with then its a personal account as you can check by clicking on this link and viewing the information top left of page.

then why does paypal make me do a business sign up every time i login in with texting me a security code or i can't use my account

Well most folks have to have a number code texted to them whenever they log in to their paypal account, that does not make it a business account.

Once logged in does it say anything about requiring business information? 

[ladyciel]

no it just says business sign up but i've never set up the code verification and it still dosen't say that it's be set up

[ladyciel]

if i close my account, can i reopen a new one using the same information from my odd one. and can i start a new account straight away after closing the odd one
