Hi, I use a personal account with Paypal mainly for ebay sales, but also for purchases including WA fees.
Make sure you register a bank account with Paypal and that they do a ping. Cheers Mike

I have a business one aswell but I've had this for years from previous businesses, I think setting up a personal account would be fine to begin with for the Affiliate Programs and as/when your business expands you could upgrade to the business account if required :-)

I have a business one - but for a long time I used a personal one for business transactions with no issue.

I have a premier one and seemed to recall that was advised if I were to start up a business a few years ago. I just checked and it is still called 'premier' - is that the middle/third way, I wonder?

Hi Brenda.

I have had a PayPal account for around 12 years. I have a business account - purely because I thought as I was earning some money, and declaring tax etc - that it would be better for me.

I think the transaction rates for personal and business are slightly different - but not greatly.

I do use mine for personal and business use - it's quite easy from their statements to separate out what you've been buying on ebay next to what you've been earning as a business.

All the best, Mark

That is a good questions I do have a personal paypal account, but I was thinking of having a business one to keep it separate

IMO - if using a business acct (version) there might be some credits that can be used / calculated in doing the tax filing (assuming USA + 1040) business expenses, even the little amounts canal add up
good to keep track of all of them

if part of my thinking is not on target pls update or feel free to add yoru two cents

you can get either one, I have a business and I am not a large business. If you are having affiliate links use a business name. If you start to sell on ebay a business name is better. I am AMG Enterprises which makes me look like a big company to everyone I do business with.

In my opinion it depends on each country.
But each country like to collects taxes. :)
And of course internet business is business like each other.

Personal for now unless you get a large business going
