I intended to create a Personal Paypal Account instead i had no option and a Business Account was created. Am not sure if that's how it works.

Pointless you opening a business account as the option to receive paypal payments is sadly not available in Uganda.
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.

So opening a personal account to receive payments is equally inapplicable for a Ugandan resident, do you have any alternative suggestion or channel that could serve the purpose? Just asking for guidance. Regards Samuel
