PayPal business account question

    Hello,
    I would like to upgrade my PayPal account to "Business" but:
    I don't have my own company.
    So:
    -Do I have to pay some taxes?
    -Will they check it, if I provide fake company info?

    Also, do I have to be verified PP user?
    Help me please, can I signup this account safely?

    Fake info is never the way to go. Why don't you sign up for a premier account. All facilities of the business account, but it is in your name

    Thanks! And what about verification? And can I upgrade my account from Personal to Business, or I have to make new one?

    when you get verfied through paypal you get higher spending limit that is why it is good to get verfied through credit card as well as bank.

    No, you cannot use the same bank account or credit card for both accounts.

    If you use a Business account, all withdrawal from Paypal (bank or check) would need to be made into a bank account in the name of your business.

    You can however send money from one account to another (ie Business to Personal).

    Check with your affiliate if you can use a Premier account because it has all the features as the Business account but can be in your personal name.

    You can upgrade to business account without having your business verified. If you withdraw money to your bank account they will use the name of the business you're registering with. Better you ask your bank if they would accept a payment with this certain name and put it into your account.You can have a business account with just your personal name in order to get it into your account smoothly.

    Just one more thing.

    You cannot withdraw money from your business account unless you have a bank account in your business name.

    One if my friend have a business account with paypal and he told that the money can only be withdrawn to the business bank account. It would be better, if u want a true business account, to register a company on sole proprietorship making easy for u to open a bank account.

    You just go to your profile page and upgrade.
    The only difference from premium to business acc. is that you can have more that one user in your account and that the business account is a bit cheaper than premium, and you don't need to use your business name for transaction.

    It takes a few days to get your bank account verified, but then they will increase your spending limit

    1. You will always pay taxes when dealing with money, and in particular paypal.
    2. Never use fake information, it is never the way to go. If you get caught you will be in a lot of trouble.
    3. Yes, to send out payments you have to be verified meaning, that you need a bank account backing the account.
