Anyone else experiencing issues with Paypal when trying to convert to a business account from a personal one? EVERY TIME I click on "Upgrade to Business Account" Paypal logs me out and directs me to the "business sign up page" to which I login again, and again, and again. -- I can't get to the page where I enter in my business details as shown in this video. PayPal support has been useless. Help, anyone??
but I wanna have a business account for twitch so I do not show my name to viewers when they donate... so how do I do this if I do not have a legal name registered?
For business name, I would just type in your Twitch Username as your Business Name. Note: I made a video for this exact case, see the link where it includes the exact timestamp that I mentioned this: ruclips.net/video/lt55vJXnHQI/видео.html
Hi Simon, can you please clarify if I can use business account (as I was advised) to get payments , but remain anonymous ?? In this case i just login to my personal account and choose the option to have a business account with a different e-mail address . I did that , but it seems it is not connected to my personal account in any way (no card or bank is linked ) and I also didnt understand if I will have to pay something for this business account ? You did fill in the blanks for a registered business , but it is not clear what to do for a non-registered business , freelancer etc . I've invented a name of a business , but I wonder :Should I enter at least my real name so that i can link the bank ? Will I be asked to pay? etct etc😵💫🧐😕😳 pls help ! 🥰
I am sorry, i got a little mad, my acc got banned immediately after i converted to a business account. Apparently my business is illegal, but is there any way i can return my acc, like claiming that i no longer violate the rules or something like that? I would love to get some responses 🙏❤️
I have a problem. When I made my personal account I only used Local ID for verification, but when I tried creating new Paypal Business using New email address Paypal only asked me these three option (National ID, Passport IT or Driver License) which I do not have. so I'm thinking if I upgrade my existing account(Local ID verified) to business paypal does it ask another ID?
So if I’ve done this, converted my personal into business, and I have a buyer try and dispute my services. Does this report to my personal credit? Is this personal guaranteed even tho it’s now a business account?
You can find your Employee Identification Number (i.e. EIN) on your confirmation letter from the IRS, tax returns, or business applications. You can also call the IRS directly to look up your federal tax ID number. Another good way is searching your computer documents for "fein".
Ok.. so I need some help. I got an art commission recently and the person paid me $300 however my acc was not business so it told me to upgrade and it says the person that sent me the money has to pay an additional $200 dollars to expand my account limit. So I msged the person and she paid an extra $200. However, now it says that it’s pending until I pay it back with my own money. I don’t know if I can trust this… since I can’t find anything on this type of thing happening anywhere. Please help 😢
@@Himanshu_Singh_vlog nope 🗿 Turns out this person was a scammer… I later on discovered that the email was fake since it had grammatical mistakes and when I looked at it more closely & I searched up the PayPal official email… but sadly, somehow, I got scammed of $14 because of certain issues 🤧😭😭 No doubt this person never sent a total of $500 to me since it didn’t say it was pending anywhere on my acc. I also later on found out another friend of mine also received a message from the same person who msged me.. so yea. My best option rn is just to close art coms on instagram cause I’m so done with this 🤧🤧
Thanks a bazillion, Simon! You are the BOSS! This will definitely help me tremendously as I am in the beginning stages of opening my e-commerce stores.
Hello so i am facing a problem on transaction now,. I was doing a freelancer job in testing community. They sent me the previous month payment, but that time my account was individual/personal. So i didn't receive it. Now I have converted my account to business account. So how do i receive that payment.
Reach out to PayPal. In addition, reach out to the person who sent you the payment initially and ask them if the charge went through. If the charge did not go through ask them to kindly resend it. Hope this helps! You also may have to call PayPal if you have trouble getting an answer on this issue if there chat reps cannot help you.
Hope you enjoyed the video. Let me know if you have any questions with how to convert your PayPal account to a business account 👇
It doesn't work in Nigeria
Am from India
Please explain add paypal account non profit organization
I couldn't see the upgrading option. What can I do to upgrade it ?
🤨 Wait a minute. Convert? Are you allowed to have a regular account *AND* a business account too?
@@athews1976 yes. You can have a personal account and a business account as long as you use separate email addresses for each account.

He’s ignoring your question. Which is messed up because I have the same question.
Can you convert from a business account to a personal one ?
i am not registered llc. i have SSN. Can I open my Paypal business account? please reply
Yes you can. You would use your SSN to register your PayPal Business account.
I could not find upgrade tab. Can you help me on this.
Hi my PayPal account doesn't shows the conversion option. How can I do to switch to business account?
Damn, this man is the real life version of the🗿emoji
lol :)
Settings tab is not available on mobile app
Will my history continue onto the business account or will it be treated as a new account?
There is NO such option when opening settings. Check it out for yourself.
Not work in 2023 :/
I just got my account banned because of you!
try reaching out to PayPal support. I do not work for PayPal.
I am sorry, i got a little mad, my acc got banned immediately after i converted to a business account. Apparently my business is illegal, but is there any way i can return my acc, like claiming that i no longer violate the rules or something like that?
I would love to get some responses 🙏❤️
i feel like im getting mogged not showing me how to open a paypal
My account doesn’t have that option 00:31
Same here. Found a solution for this yet?
I JUST NEED TO PAY THIS CRAP OFF. WHAT'S UP WITH ALL THE LOOPS TO JUMP THROUGH TO DO IT??? CRAZY . ANNOYING.
can you convert back to a personal account from a business account
Yes I need also that, how??🤔
is it possible if I have all ready money on my personal pay pal if I switch to business, will my money balance be the same after transition?
under buisness keyword what would be one for twitch streaming?
Underneath ‘Product or Service Keywords’, type in ‘Cable, Satellite, and Other Pay Television/Radio/Streaming'
Thank you so much....
Thanks,I will try it now🥰🥰🥰❤👍

Thanks for watching!

Nicely done! Clear and to the point. Thanks!
thanks for watching!
My only concern is, can they see my address?
So if I’ve done this, converted my personal into business, and I have a buyer try and dispute my services. Does this report to my personal credit? Is this personal guaranteed even tho it’s now a business account?
from my understanding, PayPal would not report to your personal credit. This is just a dispute via PayPal if that makes sense.
where I can get the "Employer Identification number"? because the paypal accounts are not under my name and i m using multiple paypal
You can find your Employee Identification Number (i.e. EIN) on your confirmation letter from the IRS, tax returns, or business applications. You can also call the IRS directly to look up your federal tax ID number. Another good way is searching your computer documents for "fein".
Ia it neccesary to have a registered business?
No
No
great helpful video, thanks Simon!
Why is it that my account doesn't have upgrade to business account option?
same here
same
Knowledge and knowledge in this process is the most important thing, and your explanation makes implementation easy
I am not able to get amount from Paypal...they said i don't have business account... And i hve to return amount to the same person
Hello, a question, is it safe to enter the SSN? I don't understand why it asks to enter that information.
Brother, the dollars that are trapped are found immediately or after a few days
I use PayPal mobile there's no setting option
I updated but now I have two accounts?
In my account the update button does not appear
Awsome..thank you for the info 👍
thanks for watching!
Awesome, thanks
thanks for watching!
does it cost money to "upgrade" your account?
No
@@simongondeck alright thank you :)
@@jamsgames8742 for sure!
Thanks it helped me a lot
Do I need to add same name and ss# as the personal account or this info can be changed/updated with the Business account upgrade? Thanks
Not work in 2023 :/
