    No you don't. You may need it to accept credit cards.

    I would start with a personal account if you can. The fees are much lower.

    You can process through a business account.

    I would recommend to get one. You limits are higher. You get a lot less grief on transactions, etc.

    Upgraded to Premier account. Seems like it is the lowest stage required to receive credit card payments...

    Paypal will figure out is business and move you there and charge the higher fees.
