Downgrading A Paypal Premier Account To Personal

posted 2007 december 17.

After writing about PayPal’s expensive upkeep, I have decided to downgrade my first PayPal account to a Personal one. My plan is to open another PayPal account and make that a Premier / Business account instead, which should be no problem because a UnionBank E-On Visa Electron account only costs 300 Pesos / year, and I am loosing a whole lot more than that for every Premiere PayPal transaction.

To do this, I first logged into PayPal and clicked on Contact Us > Contact Customer Service. Then, I selected My Account > Changing Account Type and typed in something to the effect of “Please downgrade my Premier Account to a Personal one”.

After one week, my account was downgraded and I received this e-mail:

Dear Dennison Uy,

Hello my name is Allyse, I am happy to assist you with your question
regarding downgrading your PayPal Account.

Let me first say that I am very sorry it has taken so long to answer
your email; it is due to the high volume of emails we have been
receiving.

We appreciate that you have tried our PayPal Business/Premier account.
Per your request, your PayPal account has been downgraded from a
Business/Premier to a Personal account. Please note that with a Personal
account, you will no longer be able to receive unlimited credit card
funded payments and all payments received from eBay, auctions, and
Website Payment buttons (e.g. Buy Now Buttons, PayPal Shopping Cart, or
Subscriptions payments), will be limited to the equivalent of $500.00
USD per month. (This monthly limit applies to all US, UK and Canadian
Personal accounts.)

You are only permitted to downgrade from a Business/Premier account to a
Personal account one time. If you would like to upgrade your account to
a Business/Premier account in the future, it will remain a
Business/Premier account for the lifetime of the account.

If you exceed your monthly receiving limit, you will be given the choice
to accept or deny the payment. If you accept the payment, your Personal
account will be upgraded to a Premier account.

If you receive a credit card payment to your Personal account, you can:

· Accept the payment by upgrading to a Business or Premier account.
· Accept the payment for a fee. Personal accounts can receive a
limited number of credit card funded payments per year and are assessed
a transaction fee. To view our fee schedule, click “Fees” in the footer
of any PayPal page. To view your Personal account limit, log in to your
account and click the “View Limits” link.
· Deny the payment.
There are no fee adjustments or refunds on payments received.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us again.

Sincerely,
Allyse
PayPal, an eBay Company

Sweet. Now, to get that second E-On and PayPal account.
