    Upgrade your accounts to a Business account. Only Business and Premier accounts are covered with the PayPal Seller's Protection Policy.

    Nothing. You can do business as yourself as well, so you don't need to own an actual business to do it..

    Each time you sell any item, make sure you use the merchant services, ie Buy Now button, Request Money or Paypal Invoice method. Ensure that you have all the proper sales documentation such as Invoices and Delivery Order. Also send the items through courier service which provides proof of delivery and online tracking. Do your due diligence before fulfilling the contract by checking up on your customer. Only deal with verified account holders whose IP matches the country in which they sign up from. Only deal with physical items through paypal and not with intangible items.

    Make sure you read through all the legal documents which you signed up too at Paypal and comply to it to the letter.

    The most secure way to avoid chargeback is to avoid using Paypal.

    Well, do not deliver the item right away. Email the customer and ask them to confirm the order he place then check the email header that would include header. That should tell you roughly where the person is from.

    It has some extra features. If you want to allow your co-workers to access your Paypal account they could and you could restrict what they can do. There are also many other features that come with a business account. It has about the same fees as a premier account as well.

    The best way to prevent a chargeback would be to have fraud protection. Always check for fraud, because people sometimes get their accounts hacked and it's used to purchase goods online. Also, if you sell something online such as a design or domain, send them a CD with tracking information and everything. If they try to do a chargeback just to trick you for your money, you could just provide all the tracking information to Paypal and win the case easily.

    The core difference between a business account and a premier account is that the business account is for registered businesses and incorporated companies to use while the premier account are for private individuals who wants to use paypal as an online payment processing platform.
