I dont have an SSN number to keep it in the app, as i was an exchange student in the US. Also the account is american (maybe because i created it there?) so this option sounds impossible as the nationality cant be changed. Also i cant send it to my bank as it doesnt appear on the options, my bank is Santander in Chile and it doesnt appear. what should i do???

Since you cannot accept the money, ask the sender to cancel the payment if they see a cancel link on the Activity feed or by clicking on the transaction to see the details/options. If cancel link not available, sender wait 30 days for the money to be returned unclaimed.

 

Then you should close the US PayPal account.

 

Open a new account in Chile:

Is that the only option? The sender is my landlord as it was a return deposit, i just want to do it myself and not put her in the problem. Maybe i can put a bank accouint of a friend in the US? Is that convenient considering Paypal rules? thanks for answering, i will be atentive on a response
