    Paypal charges fees to business and premier accounts when you recieve payments. You can open a personal account where you won't get charged for the payments you recieve

    I'm not sure but paypal allows you to create two accounts. So you could keep the premier account and also create a personal account.

    Yes you can create a personal account and add the same credit card on it. That is not against the paypal terms or at least it wasn't when I did it a few months back. I know for sure that you can create a personal account and not get charged for accepting payents.

    That card number is already assigned to another PayPal account. For security purposes, each card may only be assigned to one PayPal account. If you have already opened a PayPal account, please retrieve the relevant information and log in. Otherwise, please use a different card.


    ??
    what shall i do ?

    thanks

    Well, you can downgrade to the Personal account if you only have 1 credit card however the Personal account supposed to be for use if you are selling things and accepting payment for it. Thus it has serious restrictions when use to accept payment from and does not have any merchant services.

    Paypal is not a charity and depends on the small fees they charge you in order to keep the company alive and be able to provide you with the service. Just factor the cost into your prices (which I am sure you are making a profit off) and you be fine.

    The Paypal fees are pretty much the lowest in the industry.
