Can a Paypal Personal Account Buy and Sell Online?

    In a personal account of Paypal, can it be used to buy online and also receive money? Or just pure buying without selling?

    It's best to have a premier account, even if you're not selling stuff at the time you register.

    Pretty sure you need to have a premier account to sell stuff... If you already have an account (Personal) you can upgrade it.

    Currently I have a Business Account but it needs to be closed because I already relocated to another country. Now I want to transfer my money from that business account to a new personal account. At the same time I want to use the personal account to buy stuff online. Would that be possible?

    If you are still in that business then why don't you call paypal and let them know that you have relocated to another country. They will guide you further on this.

    DON.

    Paypal says I have to close my first account and open a new one with a changed country. I still have money in my old account and I have a hard time encashing it to a foreign bank in a country where I used to live.

    Of course... you can receive funds into your personal account from any other Paypal account and you can also surely buy stuff online too... from your personal account! :)

    This is a follow-up question: If your personal account has not yet been verified with a credit card, is your personal paypal account allowed to receive fund?

    Yes, you can receive funds... but an unverified account has an upper limit of receiving CC funds, probably only 5 times! :(
