Hi,by mistake i made my paypal account wrong.I used my native language for name surname(greek),from what i 've been told,you need your name being written in english (latin) alphabet in order to be able to do purchases worldwide.So i send an message to paypal about 1 month ago,no answer so far.

Hi @CatNroll,
Welcome to our Community!
It shouldn't be necessary to change the Greek script to Latin. There may be some merchants using older systems that might not be able to read the script, but these should be very seldom.
Though this is not a change of name, you will need to complete process through the name change option in your Profile and supply a valid proof of identity.
Thanks
Martin
