There have been more than a few people who have asked me questions pertaining to deleting their PayPal.

Well, to answer the first question, if you decide to shut down and delete your PayPal accounts for whatever reason, you can still reopen your previous account.

However, in answering the second question, if you clear your PayPal account, you will be unable to retrieve your transaction history.

So, while you may have a genuine reason for deleting you need to note that you can risk losing your entire transaction history in the process. To resolve this problem, you could screenshot relevant transaction history details from future reference.

In addition, this article will mention some reasons why shutdown and deleting a may be necessary.

Note: It is possible that you are requested to provide details of your local bank account in order to have your PayPal balance transferred to your bank account.

If so, fill out the portions provided before clicking the Close Account button. (In most instances you may not be able to delete your PayPal account without first sorting out your PayPal balance).

If you open a business PayPal account to manage financial transactions for your organization, you can also close the account if you want.

Some Reasons Why You May Need to Close Your PayPal Accounts

 

• A compromised: If your account has been hacked into, it may become pertinent to close your account for security reasons.
• A personal decision due to an alternative option: You may also take the decision of deleting your accounts if you have found a better, less expensive or cheaper online payment portal.
• A shutdown business: If your business has shut down operations, you may no longer need to have a business account, so deleting this makes a whole lot of sense.
• A change of email address: Deleting your account only to reopen a new one using an email address that is different from the one used to open your previous account is another reason why people cancel their PayPal accounts.
