Part 6: What Paypal account type should I get?

(continued from previous page)

Choice 3: PayPal Business Account

This is the business class of a PayPal account, best suited to individuals running a large scale online business or online store. Business account allows you to operate under your business name, and use Reporting and eBay Tools with no restrictions on transaction size. It is the best choice if you expect complex Accounts Payable. There is broad functionality for the business owners that helps them to manage very large amounts of sales with ease.

Like Premier, there is a fee to have this type of account; please check PayPal website for details. The setup process of a Business account is similar to that of a Premier account. If you currently use either Personal or Premier account, you can upgrade to Business.
