PayPal Login — Official Portal & Guide (2026)

Official URLhttps://www.paypal.com/signin

Official link verified 2026-07-06

PayPal is a global online payments account many marketplaces support. Important for Pakistan: PayPal does not operate in Pakistan, so Pakistani residents cannot open a local PayPal account. The login page still serves freelancers who hold accounts registered in supported countries.

How to log in to PayPal

Open https://www.paypal.com/signin.
Enter the email address or mobile number on your PayPal account and click Next.
Type your password and click Log In.
Complete two-factor verification (SMS or authenticator code) if prompted.
You reach your PayPal Summary to send, receive and withdraw funds.

Reset your password / PIN

Click 'Forgot password?' on the sign-in page, confirm your email or phone, and follow PayPal's verification steps to set a new password. Recovery may require answering security questions or confirming card details.

New user? PayPal is not available for registration in Pakistan; sign-up requires an address in a supported country. Freelancers in PK generally use Payoneer or Skrill instead.

Common PayPal login problems & fixes

'This account is limited' after login

Open the Resolution Center and complete the requested verification (ID, address, or transaction confirmation) to lift the limitation.

Cannot register with a Pakistan address

Expected, as PayPal does not serve Pakistan. Use a supported payout method such as Payoneer for your marketplace earnings.

One-time code not received

Request a new code, check SMS/authenticator, and confirm the phone number on file; switch to an authenticator app if SMS is unreliable.
