    Hello People... :)

    I was just wondering if it's possible to create a BUY NOW button for product sellers having a personal PayPal account?

    Thanks for your input, in advance...

    Yes, that's what I'm trying to figure out. PayPal does allow CC to send you 5 payments per year (based on my experience of the same in 2007). I guess I'll need to find out if they've made changes on that one.

    Let's assume they allow me to receive CC payments on my personal account, probably charging me a higher fee... In that case, can I have a BUY NOW button for the personal account to receive the money?

    I'm an amateur graphics artist. So, that's taken care of ;)

    Thanks for your thoughts on this.

    Thanks guys. That's why I opened this thread, to know if PayPal was ok with it. A Business/Premier account is the way to go. :)

    Its better to open a new PREMIER account with ur name, rather than upgrading personal to premier.

    Advantage is you can receive some payments to ur personal acc without any fee, and paypal allows you to have 3 different (personal, premier and business) with the same name.

    Are you serious?
    3 account each person?
    AFAIK,2 account per person.
    When did PP change their rules?
