How to switch from business to personal on PayPal

PayPal does not allow users to convert an existing Business account directly to a Personal account. You will need to close your Business account and open a new Personal account using the same email address once the closure is complete. Before closing, withdraw all funds, cancel subscriptions, and resolve any pending transactions or disputes. Keep in mind that Personal accounts have limitations on receiving payments for goods and services.

If you receive international payments regularly as a freelancer or exporter, consider PayPal overview alternatives like Skydo, an RBI-authorised platform designed specifically for Indian users. Skydo offers faster settlements, transparent forex rates, and lower fees compared to traditional options, making it a more cost-effective solution for cross-border transactions without the account-type complications PayPal presents.
