    To access funds you receive, you need a Premier or Business account

    Well depends on how much donation you've got and how big is your forum.
    I think if the donation reach $ 1000 you should open premium account. But if you forum is just started and only reach $10, take personal account. You can change it to premium if you want, you know?

    Well I would suggest you to open Premier account with them. Though they charge fees for receiving payments but you don't have to worry about the amounts you will receive, big or small everything will be accepted and PayPal won't bother you much about them.

    Thanks

    I will recommend you have one account each (its legal according to PayPal terms and conditions)
    While you will attach premium account with your website for receiving automated donations. you can always use the personal account to ask someone to send money to that one, when the amount is not too large, subjected to monthly and overall limits, thus you will save some PayPal fees, at least for a big fraction of donations.

    But remember, you must verify both accounts, else you could be in problem. and do not use fake names, because it is completely legal to have one personal and one premium PayPal accounts by same person.

    It is much better to use premier or business accounts in getting donations. In that way you can also received credit card donations or payment more than personal accounts .

    Premier/business a/c works best in your case, as everyone is not having paypal balance funds so they can also pay you through credit card or any other options, otherwise you'll stuck with limits of Personal a/c. Check out what works best in your case. Best of lUcK.
