How do I upgrade or downgrade my PayPal account?

You can have two PayPal accounts - one personal account and one business account. Sign up for a second account if necessary.

If you want to upgrade your personal account to a business account:

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. In the Account Options section, click Upgrade to a Business Account.

Most business accounts cannot be downgraded, so we recommend opening a new personal account.

If you want to use the same email address that’s registered with your business account, you'll need to close your business account first.

Can have more than 1 PayPal account?

Yes. You can have 1 Personal account and 1 Business account. Each account must be registered with a unique email address.

I recently upgraded my PayPal Balance account to a business account and can't use crypto. What can I do?
