How do i change my pay pal account type?

I have a business account now, but I don't use paypal that much anymore so I want a personal account. But how do I go back to using a personal account? I cant find a link anywhere on their site.

Thanks

Look up "downgrade account" with the search. You will be linked to a page that lets you email your request. It took them 3 weeks to downgrade my account. After they downgrade the account once, you can never downgrade it again if you go back to premiere.

Just a thought. Letting your account sit tight doesn't cost you anything...what I did was open another Personal account. All you need is another checking account(which I had) and another email address(pick one right?) and then put it under a similar name, your middle name as your first. They'll make you verify by depositing two tiny deposits into the bank account, which you verify with them and then you can withdraw money. Now you have a bus. account that can accept credit cards when you need that option, and a pers. account that has no transaction fees that you use the majority of the time..and of course you can send the money that is received by your bus. account over to your personal acct. For what it's worth. (I came up with this after I got suckered into upgrading to accept a credit card payment and didn't know there was now a fee on Every transaction received.)
