Hi all, I changed my account from personal to business. To verify my business information, I should upload a business utility bill/card statements/government issued documents. I don't have any of these with the name of my business, my business to pure virtual, a website and income stream from Udemy. So nothing from what they are requesting for is available. My question is, how to solve this issue? or how to change my account back to personal? Thanks in advance

There is no automatic way to downgrade a business account to a personal account, you have to contact customer services and they will do that for you.
Click help / contact bottom left of Paypal pages for options available for your country.
Or have you considered contacting Customer Service via Facebook or Twitter?
You can send them a personal message from their facebook or twitter pages.
It's: https://www.facebook.com/PayPal and @AskPayPal for Twitter.
OR
You could just close your business account (removing all subscriptions / financial info etc first) and open a personal one.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
