Hello. 

I have a personal account and should receive payment from 99designs. But I cannot receive it and have no information about the transaction. This keeps failing for the second time. the support center suggested to feel in the form W-8BEN as I am not a resident of US and not a taxpayer of US. But I don't know where to submit it. The help center suggests to go to the notification bar and follow the instructions there, but my notification bar is empty, I guess because the country is Armenia, some features don't work. Doe's anyone know where I should submit this form and if the submission will actually work and solve the issue, or there can be other problems as well?

The option to receive Paypal payments is sadly not available in Armenia.
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.
