PayPal - what kind of account to use for selling info products?

5 replies
I will be selling some information products and would like to use PayPal for the payment processor.

I have a personal PayPal account, but no nothing about the various business accounts offered by PayPal.

I'd really appreciate some guidance on this matter from experienced folks.

Thanks!

    If you're going to be selling products, your account is not really personal anymore, is it? Get a business or premier account.

    You can use personal or business the important part that it MUST BE VERIFIED otherwise you can't accept money

    If you insist on using Paypal then I suggest the business account. However, I really don't recommend using Paypal for your business - too many bad stories from Paypal users, I wouldn't trust them for a minute!

    If you are looking to brand your self then use a Business account but if you just want to sell products here and there then a personal will do just fine. Important part is that it must be verified

      Thanks a lot for the rapid responses!

      I will be selling several niche related ebooks, all under a business name and LLC that I have already establiished. I already set up a bank account for this LLC.

      I'd rather have the PayPal account under the business name, vice using my personal PayPal account to conduct these transactions.

      I've never sold anything via PayPal, and am a bit unfamiliar with the different type of accounts they offer. I'm soliciting advice here before I actually give the PayPal support desk a call and ask them some questions.

      Thanks again for the help and if anyone else knows of anything I need to consider or be aware of before making a decision on an account, I'd be grateful if you'd share that with me.
