Hi everyone, new here. I am an Australian citizen who wants to use PayPal as a method for people to pay for their services. Because I am in Australia, I obviously don't have a US SSN and I am finding it difficult to get verified and my business account all set up. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You’ll have to close the US account. You won’t be able to use it unless you are officially setting up a US based business legally by setting up a US address, US phone number, US bank account, US tax ID (EIN), US business license/incorporate in the US.
Then after closing account, open a PayPal AU account.
If you need assistance with account closure, contact customer service:

Click “Message Us” or “Call Us” option on the bottom.
Or reach out to PayPal at Facebook or Twitter:
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
