I found a workaround: after getting the message when trying to log in, go manually to https://www.paypal.com . I found that I was logged in, and able to use everything. I don't know if that helps for you?   Now I no longer get the message - not sure if it's just been fixed, or was due to me entering other information.   Another oddity is that under Account set-up, under "Finish setting up so you can open for business.", I've filled in all the steps, but now got stuck at "Confirm your personal information" - I've done this, but it just shows the "To Do" icon with no option to change anything. At the top it says both "Congratulations. You have successfully lifted your withdrawal and receiving limits." and "Your account has a receiving limit. To remove this limit complete the steps contained in the table below." ! ... View more

I've entered by date of birth, ticked home address is the same as business address, but keep getting "We're sorry, something seems to have gone wrong. Please try again." everytime I click Continue.   Can anyone help? It means we're locked out so we can't even continue using our accounts as personal accounts.   More generally, is there any news/info on the switch from Premier to Business accounts - e.g., what happens to people who currently have Premier accounts, were they automatically switched? ...
