Hello!

Before I ask, I want to say that I have looked through similar problems from other users but have not found a solution to the problem, only recommendations that did not help.

Actually, the problem is that I cannot accept payments to my account. I also already know that the "friends/family" option is not available in every country. Are there any ways to solve this problem?

You may be in a send only country, unfortunately as you haven't said which country you are in then hard to confirm.

Paypal account holders in the Ukraine can now receive payments with the recent change of policy, but they are restricted to receiving only friends/family payments as per link.

You still can't do commercial transactions and receive goods/services payments.

Look at my situation. Now I have ordered an ETH to USD exchange with sending to my PayPal account, the exchanger says that if the account does not accept goods and services, they will send me FNF (Friends & Family).

The question is, will I receive funds to my account in this case?

Hi @f1rstonlyone

 

Thank you for your posts and welcome to the Community. I'm sorry for the confusion regarding receiving payments.

 

If the payment you are receiving is an exchange of goods or services, please do not accept the transaction with your account, as using Friends and Family payments for exchanges of goods or services would be a violation of the guidelines as well as the fact that it would prevent you and the other party from having protection.

 

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

 

Olivia
