    Just had a couple questions about upgrading to a business account in paypal

    DOes anyone know if there's any cost involved?

    And when someone buys something from me, will it show my name in the order or the business name?

    And does the business have to be a real registered business?

    Pretty sure all of that information is included on Paypal's site.

    Although for the record I don't pay attention much anymore to their website since they suspended my account...

    Good luck.

    You don't upgrade to a business account you just sign up for one. You tell them and name and owners etc... The costs involved are $1 per transaction and low rates for accepting credit cards.

    So does anybody know about what the person making payments sees as your name?

    No cost is involved at all.
    You can choose (I think) but by default as soon as you upgrade and enter your business information you will begin to do all trades under that business name.

    As far as I know, the answer is No. I used to have my own hosting website that I just made up some random business name that matched the domain name. Technically my business wasn't registered or anything of that sort.
    Should still check it up though.

    Hope it helped
