I was going to reply with the exact same explanation tbat the previous post already said... your PayPal account (personal and business) can only be used in the country you legally reside in. Otherwise, you can end up being flagged for illegal activity. This way PayPal can continue providing a secure payment environment. ... View more

Sorry, I forgot to come back and post that I ended up sending an email to PayPal customer service and specified what I was trying to do and gave them other specifics... Within a day or two, I received a reply indicating that they updated my account. The email didn't elaborate as to why it didn't work to begin with, but it was fixed, so I was happy! ... View more

How do you subscribe to the Daily Transactions Detail Report?   The steps that are shown in the help section just take me back to the same message telling me that I'm not subscribed... which I already know and why I'm trying to subscribe in the first place! ... View more

I believe that just like there are different versions of eBay (US, CAN, UK...) the same exists for PayPal. So basically, you're supposed to use the version for your home country. Hope this helped! ... View more

I've been trying to change my business name in PayPal so it matches my store on eBay. I have followed every suggested step by step process multiple times and on different days... Profile > Profile and Settings > Name > Change > Your business name has changed > Continue ... I enter new business name and press "Update Business Name" ... I get a loading circle then a screen with a large checkmark and the words "Your business name is updated successfully" ... I hit "Done " The screen goes away and I think that the business name has changed only to find out that NOTHING was UPDATED! ... I have refreshed the page & nothing. ... I have logged off and back in & nothing. ... I have restarted my computer & nothing. ... I have even tried all the above with my mobile app uninstalled and then reinstalled! ... and NOTHING! ... I go check "My business info" again and again... only to find that NOTHING had changed! >What am I missing? ... View more

FYI... Check U.S. Tax Laws... Because for PayPal to function as a legitimate business, it is REQUIRED to report any INCOME activity to the IRS. Therefore, if Your only tax identification is your SS#, then that is the number you must legally provide to do legitimate business through PayPal or any other such business. Transactions online are not exempt from basic legal requirements! It's not PayPal, it's all those before us who have used PayPal and such, and did not report there income to the IRS! ... View more

I opened an eBay store and I named it by adding onto my user ID, and it now describes what my business sells. Now, in PayPal, while trying to update/change My business name, it won't change for anything! I've gone through the process multiple times on multiple days... Profile > Profile and Settings > Name > Change > Your business name has changed > Continue I enter new business name and press "Update Business Name" I get a loading circle then a screen with a large checkmark and the words "Your business name is updated successfully" I hit "Done". The screen goes away and I think that the business name has changed only to find out that nothing happened! I've refreshed the page, & nothing. I've logged off and back in, & nothing. I've restarted my computer, & nothing. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled my mobile app!... and NOTHING! I check "My business info" again and again... only to find that NOTHING had changed!
