[tohims]

I live in Papua New Guinea. I am trying to upgrade my personal PayPal account to a Business one, but there is no Option showing to upgrade to Business, in the account settings.

Please assist me with this.

Hello @tohims,

I'm sorry to hear that you are unable to upgrade your Personal PayPal account. You can view our Help Center article here: How do I change the type of PayPal account I have?

Thank you, 

Paula

Not sure they can do that in their country? Or has it changed recently?

The option to receive paypal payments is sadly not available in Papua NG.
You can only send payments for purchases funded by your (confirmed) credit card.

Paypal varies a lot country to country and can only offer the services that the banks / governments of that country allow it to offer.
There are quite a few countries unable to receive paypal payments.
