Paypal business accounts?

darrenl · Oct 14, 2004

Hey guys how much does it cost to get a paypal business account?

gariben · Oct 14, 2004

It's free but it will cost you money to process any transactions.

I think for personal accounts they allow you $100/m paypal transaction without fees

it does not cost anything.... but you always pay a fee to receive money.

If you plan to do a lot of business, you may as well get one. The rates go down with volume. You get a nice shiney debit card though... ::wink::

Ok I already have a premier account whats the difference?

Domagon · Oct 14, 2004

I don't use PayPal anymore, but I believe the main difference is in rates and the size of transactions you can do.

On an aside, if most folks pay you with credit card and you're doing at least several thousand dollars in transactions per month, then you may want to consider a merchant account instead - PayPal has a nasty habit of "suspending" accounts with little reason and little to no advanced notice; unreliable service.

Like the main problem is I am starting a company and want it to be Payment from "Company" instead of payment from "First Last Name". Anyone know what I would do for this?

Thats the only difference between a premier account and a business account...with a business account you can do transactions under your business name.

You can instantly upgrade your premier account to a business account.

Is it free?

Yes it is FREE and the transaction fee is pretty much same as a premier account.

I use a businees account myself and it works out great if you pull in lots of money a money your rates go down well not rate the fees for receaving payment goes down

If a person has cash in his PayPal account, you can receive it free of charge in your personal account but not in your premier account. I keep both accounts and give a 2% cash discount.
