PayPal versus other payment methods for a micro brewery

    Hi, I'm acting as consultant for a micro brewery. We want to start selling bottled beers online to UK mainland. NatWest and Barclays want huge upfront payments but PayPal seems very reasonable.

    I've been advised to keep a separate account to recieve PayPal payments. Can anyone see the sense in this? Is it to keep from having someone rip off the main business account?

    I was ripped off once - money taken - but it was returned by PP. If we don't make PP payments using the designated account for receipt of PP payments should we be safe?

    Is there anything else I should think about?

    Cheers DPers:cool:

    The last time i have read paypal's terms and conditions there was something about "you are allowed to have only two paypal accounts - one personal and one company". Please verify this so you don't end with your paypal account disabled.

    You are allowed to have 2 PayPal accounts.

    1 Personal
    1 Business

    Also you need to send PayPal and email if you want to start selling alcoholic beverages, I read that in there TOS sometime.

    http://www.electronic-payments.co.uk/ great site for comparing different payment option, requires registration now but I will say it's worth it.

    Also I have at least 4 paypal accounts but I run a number of companies/ventures i've not had any issues (other than having a personal account hacked a few years back). That doesn't mean I might not have an issue in the future.
