HELLO, MY FRIEND IS TRYING TO SEND MONEY TO MY ACCCOUNT BUT EVERYTIME HE GETS THIS RESPONSE FROM PAYPAL..."THIS RECIPIENT ACCEPTS PAYPAL PAYMENTS THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE. TO COMPLETE THIS PAYMENT, PLEASE GO TO THEIR WEBSITE AND FOLLOW THEIR INSTRUCTIONS, OR EMAIL THE RECIPIENT FOR INSTRUCTIONS". DO I HAVE TO CLOSE THIS ACCOUNT AND OPEN NEW ONE??

Sounds as if you are in a country that can only send and not receive paypal payments.

But hard to advise as you haven't said which country you are in.

 

If you are in one of these countries you can't receive paypal payments only send payments funded via a credit card for purchases.

 

Countries/regions with the ability to send payments:

If you reside in one of these countries/regions, you have the ability to link a credit card to your PayPal account and send payments. You do not have the ability to receive payments.
