Good day @YORA1,
Thank you for contacting PayPal community.
Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.
Seller/Merchant should have “Business” account.
Business: Recommended for merchants who operate under a company/group name. It offers additional features such as allowing up to 200 employees limited access to your account and customer service email alias for customer issues to be routed for faster follow-ups.
