Which Paypal Account for an Affiliate Business

4 replies
I'm going to setup a separate Palpal account for a business bank account.

It's for the typical ad buying, commission collecting affiliate activity, I have no immediate plans to be a merchant.

Briefly looking at the Premium account form, there seemed to be no field for operating under a company name, will there be no tax intermingling issue using your name on both accounts but the premium going to the business account?

Is the Business account more expensive to use? or just more complicated to work with?

Too bad the Paypal "Plugin" went away.

Thanks

---------- Edit ---------

Got the Business account, not too painful.

Question #2

Has anyone used the Paypal "PayPal Invoicing" service?

    If you do business under your personal name you use a Premier account. If you do business under a legal business name you use a business account. They are basically the same.

    I use the invoice system. I have clients who want to have invoices for their accounting. I really like it as opposed to sending a request for money. Just wish it would allow for a 'no charge' entry, but not really an issue.

    Thanks,

    I use invoice system all the time. Especially now recently as they added new fuctions.

    Its saves a hell of a time for me and my accountant.

    In terms of doing affiliate stuff, when I sell just small amount of products etc, I use premier account. To give that "more personal" feel to customers.

    But for affiliate payments and so on, its always a business account..
