Hello! I have Premier Account and now I am opening my business (DBA- Doing Business AS). This week I will get my business Checking acct. and busines Debit Card. On Checks like on the my DEbit card will be my business name and my name. So My questions are: -How do I change account? -Do I put my business name or my name in the PAYPAL account (or Both)?? Anyone who did this already please help! Thank you ! Toni24
A Premier account is the account for a private individual. Since you have a DBA with a business name, you can contact Paypal to have them upgrade your account to a Business account so you can use your DBA name instead. In which case, with a Business account, only your DBA name would be shown in all receipts issued by Paypal. Your personal name will not be shown to your customer but will only show up when you log into to Paypal.
Log in to your paypal account > Under "My Account" click the "Profile" link > On the profile page, under the "Account Information" category you will see a link for "Business Information - click that link > On the Business Information page, scroll down to the bottom. In the bottom right hand corner, you will see a gray button labeled "Upgrade". Click that button. On the Upgrade page you will see a form to enter your business information: Business Name, Address, Work Phone, Customer Service Phone, Email, etc. That should get you where you need to be. Good Luck!
