Paypal for Donation

Discussion in 'PayPal' started by kineem, Dec 11, 2008.

    Hello. I want to add a Donate button for the people who wants to donate for the services I provide. Which account type (Personal, Premium or Business) should I sign for this task on Paypal? Which creates less headache, especially in the context of transaction fees?

    Thanks in advance.

    With a personal account you would not be charged fees to receive money.

    Thanks for the link. It helped a lot. But Business or Premium? They seem having same conditions.

    I thought you might need a premier account to accept donations but it looks like a personal one can too. Go with personal and you won't have to pay as much in fees.

    What?

    Sorry..Just made a clerical error :eek:
    personal account can't receive the money from CC:)
    I think the business account is only for those who actually have a registered business or company with a company bank account.

    As far as I am aware, PayPal fee's are smaller (or non-existent) on donations with Premium accounts

    I suggest you go with a premier account on that. Why? Because donations coming from credit cards will not be accepted via a personal account. Good luck
