I have received money from someone using goods and services while they were my friend and now PayPal is asking me for business details.
What should I do? My account is personal and not a business one!

Hello @ITheEqualizer,
Thanks for stopping by the Community, and welcome!
I'm sorry to hear you've been requested to supply documents after receiving a Goods & Services transaction. It sounds like you either have a payment hold or a limitation. You can learn more about both by visiting the Help Center links I've included. If you're asked to supply business documents that you do not have, please write a letter explaining why you're unable to supply those documents and upload it in place of them. It's not a guarantee that the letter will be accepted, but it can sometimes help.
I hope this helps you supply your details!
