    may be a silly question but I would like to know, whether I can use different name for each site.

    Say:
    www.site1.com -> while user pay through paypal, will see : SITE1 Company
    www.site2.com -> while user pay through paypal, will see : SITE2 Company
    www.site3.com -> while user pay through paypal, will see : SITE3 Company

    I know can use 1 paypal account for 3 sites, but is it possible to make something like above. I guess paypal does allow 1 account per person

    Suggestions required, would like to use only PayPal

    Yes, this seems a possible solution, just wondering if there might be any issues as my name and address will remain same

    I am sorry but the display name would remain the same but you can surely add a personalized touch by using their own e-mail addresses for each sites. You are allowed to add up to 8 e-mail addresses in a paypal account! :)

    The display name as mentioned would be the same, however I would suggest you create a display/business name that would incorporate all of your sites. Example: Samser Enterprises. Then you can add a customer header to the Paypal checkout pages explaining that Samser Enterprises is the parent company of all your other sites.

    Yes, one possible way be:
    www.site1.com -> while user pay through paypal, will see :
    www.site2.com -> while user pay through paypal, will see :
    www.site3.com -> while user pay through paypal, will see :

    and add a custom paypal header(not sure whether its possible with premier account)

    Though I think company name will not be displayed, if I use my premier account by not making it business account. But wondering is there any issues if I use Premier account in business?

    Yes, this is also a nice idea to add custom header for each site.

    If I follow both of your idea and if Paypal allows me to use custom header for premier account and no problem to continue with Premier account for business purpose, then problem will be resolved.

    So, my queries are:
    1. Can I use my Premier account to accept payment as a company?

    I would like to use my premier account as given below if possible:
    www.site1.com -> at footer something like Copyright SITE1 Company -> (user will see my name on their paypal account)
    www.site2.com -> at footer something like Copyright SITE2 Company -> (user will see my name on their paypal account)
    www.site3.com -> at footer something like Copyright SITE3 Company -> (user will see my name on their paypal account)


    2. Though will find out, just wondering if you know, whether can add custom paypal header with premier account.

    btw, why a person can not add more company name to paypal not sure... but would be great if I could.

    Thanks!
