    Hey,

    I just receive a payment via Paypal and it looks like I can't accept it with my Personal account ?? I think it's because the account is limited to 5 payments from credit card per year .. So, should I understand that I don't really have to choice to upgrade my profile to the Premier account ??

    THX

    Paypal permits you to have two accounts one personal and one premier.

    If you do want to accept Credit Card payments then you should use your Premier Accounts the fees is only 3.4%+$0.30 while personal account fees is 5.9% +$0.30

    Go ahead and make second paypal Account and email your buyer to send you money on Premier Account , refund your personal Account Payment to the buyer.

    Go with two paypal accounts is best option for you IMO. They allowed two paypal accounts (one personal and another premier/business).

    Use personal paypal account if someone want to pay you using their paypal balance and use premier account if someone want to pay you using CC.

    DON.

    I don't understand why can't you use only one - premier. Basic account sucks in any case. Upgrade to preier - that's free and fees are less !

    Upgrading to a premier sounds like the best bet for you.

    The Basic accounts helps you save on the fees, when the money is from the PayPal funds.

    If you are receiving business payments, you MUST use a premier/biz account for that purpose.
