Converting Account to Business with Crypto - Paypal running me in circles

Hopefully someone can help with this as the Paypal staff are utterly useless!
They just keep sending the same standard replies without actually reading the issues. 

 

So a customer paid me via my Wix site for the first time via Paypal. The payment showed in my Personal Paypal account in my transactions. So I assume it would clear. 

 

2 Weeks later the payment still shows as pending. So I contact Paypal who say I need to Upgrade to a Business Account and send me the link. 

So I go to do it and it comes back not possible as I have Crypto. 

 

Contact Paypal again and this time they say they don't have it but Wix do. Contact Wix and they say not its Paypal have in limbo in my personal account. 

 

So now Paypal tell me I need to close my Crypto account then I can upgrade and send me a link to a article that no longer exsists! Then suggest I just wait 30 days for customer to be refunded and then ask for the money! When he already has my goods!

 

Next move I have withdrawn all my Crypto from the account so I have a zero balance and try and upgrade again no luck

Why for goodness sake Paypal cannot just change the account over I have no idea!

 

As said Paypal just keep sending me in circles!

 

Cheers

Hello @Cgcarsales,

 

Welcome to the PayPal Community Forum and thanks for posting!

 

Sorry to hear about your experience regarding downgrading your account. All PayPal accounts can receive and send payments. PayPal will never ask the customer to upgrade the in order to access the funds in pending status. I recommend you to review the status of the payment received in your PayPal account. Payment stats show as pending when you receive the payment as an eCheck. It usually takes up to 7 business days to clear.

 

If the status of the payment shows as hold, it is possible that the funds will be held by PayPal standard 21 days hold. Here's the information about the payment holds and the process to release funds

 

To downgrade your PayPal account, you have to contact PayPal team and the contact options to reach PayPal team can be seen here

 

Best wishes,

Bindu
