Hi I've been trying to get hold of the PayPal team for the past couple of days. I mistakenly set my Personal account to a business account and want to change it back! I have tried calling PayPal but everytime it goes to connect and rings for 20 seconds then I hera a message "covid 19 etc etc" then cuts me off. I can't change the account type back myself so how am I supoosed to change it back now!?

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/PayPalUK and @AskPayPal for Twitter.

OR
You could just close your business account (removing all subscriptions / financial info etc first) and open a personal one.

Hello,

I have set my account up wrongly and need to change it back to a personal account. Everytime I try and contact live agents it says they are offline however the time in PT is only 11am?

 

Please advise the next steps?

Please I will like to change my PayPal business account to a personal account. I need it cause I really want to have it as my personal account.

I am making this because I need to change my account from a business account to a personal account. It would have been smarter to have a support email but sure this works as well

Hey. I was wondering how I can make my account go back to just a regular account, not a business account? Do you have any idea how I can make my account back to a regular account, not a business account?
