I created a business account instead of a personal one by mistake, and I am required to verify my identity, but when I did this, they sent me this mail
For the security of the PayPal network, we often review accounts for potential risks. After reviewing your account, our records indicate you may reside in a country different from the one where your PayPal account is registered. In this case, you should sign up for a new PayPal account in the country where you live
Now I don't know what to do, I can't edit my account, delete it, or change my email address to create a new one
Please tell me what to do
