I am starting my own forum posting service and will ba accepting payments. Should I upgrade to a business account? Does it cost anything.
Upgrading does not cost anything. How many transactions do you think you'll be going through in a year? If a lot... then you'll need to upgrade (remember > business accounts means you pay a fee everytime you recieve money)
Well I think you should open it for gerat features and more secure. But if you want save money on fees than Persnol account would be best for you.
But if its a business you're running you're bound to go through several transactions... (I know I do so I can to make the switch). To keep the fees down you would have to make large transactions (therefore fewer payments) to be able to use the personal account.
On my site I have 3 services: 15, 40 and 75 dollars and i expect 2-5 jobs per week. what do you think
A business account is what you might need.. 2- 5 transaction is a lot. You will mainly be recieving funds rather than sending them, correct?
Do you have a company registered ? A business account looks more professional, but if you are getting orders from forums like this one, a premier account should do the trick..
IT does look more professional and there are the fees! (especially w/ forum posting services : the pay isn't so high and the fees will take a larger toll) TO ADD: if you are going to get a business name... make sure you keep it that same or REALLY want it because you can't change it after..
