Hi. I've just set up a business and changed my paypal account to a business account. I now can't seem to receive personal payments fee free (I assumed I would be able to operate both). I have now subsequently set up a separate business account but now can't work out how to revert my original account back to a personal account. I tried closing it (as I thought it might be easier to just re-open a new personal account), but as I have some standing orders set up, it's more complicated. Can I just revert the business account back to my old personal account status?! I've already incurred one fee on a payment and I'm expecting some more soon as I did the teacher gift collection! Thank you!

Hello,

 

I've made a buisness account, but it's not complete. I realized I don't need a buisness account for using paypal the way I am, and I'd like to get rid of my account/make it personal. How do I do so?

Hi

I opened my account under my sole proprietor name, and because I can't provide  company registration docs, paypal have restricted my account. I have tried repeatedly to explain that in South Africa a sole proprietor doesn't need/or get such documents. I have even sent links to SARS AND CIPIC web where government explains this. But I get the same response over and over - I guess it must be automated.

 

So now I'm trying to downgrade ... but the first step of the instructions to do so are incorrect:  Click Contact Us at the bottom of any page.

BUT these is no "Contact Us" at the bottom of ANY page?

 

Help anyone???? I need to get Paypal to release much needed income.
