Hey guys, I made a mistake while registering my account and indicated the USA as my country. Because of this, I can not withdraw/transfer money as PayPal asked me to fill in social security number (which ofcourse I don't have). Is there any way of changing the country in account settings? I tried everything that I could find on the platform. Or is there any other way to accept the balance? Thanks in advance!

You can't change countries on a paypal account, you would need to close that one if you can and open one in your own country.
You would not be able to access any funds so your best bet is to ask your buyer to open a dispute to get their money back and then pay again to a new paypal account opened in the correct country.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Thank you so much for reply! The problem is that the funds are sent from airbnb and I dont think it is possible to send it back.
