PayPal has been recognized as one of the most reputable platforms for online money transfers. It allows customers to transfer and receive money from any hook and corner of the world, thanks to improved customer assistance. Even if the software provides safer transactions, there may be times when you do not want to continue transferring funds to anyone. The explanation could be the dubious identification of the user or similar, which prevents you from receiving payments or money requests. You should also consider blocking such users to avoid additional penalties. So, do you know whether there’s a method to block someone on PayPal? Continue reading to find out the answer.
How to block other users on PayPal?
The first thing you should know is that PayPal has two sorts of accounts: personal accounts (which allow users to send payments) and business accounts (meant for both to send and receive money). And the ability and procedure of blocking someone differ depending on the sort of account you have.
So, without further ado, let’s learn how to block other PayPal users on the platform.
Blocking someone on PayPal with a personal account
The answer to how to block someone on PayPal with a personal account is negative. You read that correctly. At the moment, there is no way for the personal account holder to block a user.
As a result, you cannot formally prohibit anyone from sending you money requests or payments. Furthermore, you cannot prevent them from communicating with you.
The only thing you can do is continue to ignore such users’ payment demands. If they continue to harass you with payment notes, you can contact PayPal support and open a ticket in this respect.
You can do so by calling 1800-419-9833.
Blocking someone on PayPal with a business account
When it comes to a business account, if you no longer want to receive payments or communications from another PayPal user, you have two options. You have the option of doing it using the PayPal official website or the PayPal mobile app. The following are the step-by-step procedures for each of these methods:
Blocking someone through a website:
- Navigate to PayPal.
- Head to Contacts.
- Select the person that you wish for blocking.
- Now click on Block this contact.
- Confirm it by clicking Block.
Blocking someone via the Mobile app:
- Open PayPal app on your device
- Tap on the Send option.
- Search for the person you wish to block underneath the “Your contacts” option.
- Now strike the “More Options” icon provided against their name.
- Then tap on Block (contact’s name).
- Confirm it by taping Block.
Please keep in mind that blocking someone on PayPal prevents them from sending you money or texting you. If you block someone, that person may be unable to find you in the PayPal address list.
