PayPal does not let you delete your account because they want to keep your information on file in case the deletion is a mistake. This information can help them understand more about what happened and why the user wanted to leave their service. PayPal needs to maintain all of the data that it has collected on its users, which includes customer profiles.
In order to deactivate your PayPal account, you will need to go into the PayPal website and click on the “Log In” button. Once you are logged in, click on “Profile” from the menu bar at the top of the screen. From there, select “My Money” and then “Close Account” from the drop-down menu. You will be asked to enter your password again and then confirm that you want to close your account.
If you are trying to delete your PayPal account, the best way is to log into your account and go to the “Profile” page. Once there, you should click on “Close my account.” If that doesn’t work, contact customer service by phone or email.
If you close your account, it will be closed indefinitely. You can’t reopen your account without contacting PayPal and requesting to have it reopened. If you have any outstanding balance on the account, you’ll need to pay that off before the account can be closed.
If you close your PayPal account, all of your funds will be transferred to your bank account. You will not be able to use the funds in the account for a period of 180 days.
Yes, you can delete your PayPal account. If you’re not sure how to do it, we recommend contacting customer service and they will be able to help you out with the process.
