What is PayPal?:

PayPal is an e-commerce business allowing payments and money transfers to be made through the Internet. It serves as an electronic alternative to traditional paper methods such as cheques and money orders. PayPal performs payment processing for online vendors, auction sites, and other corporate users, for which it charges a fee. PayPal allows their users to choose from 3 different types of accounts, the different account types will be explained further down on this page.

PayPal Personal Account:

The Personal Account is the most used account typed used by “beginners” or for users that don’t use PayPal that much The Personal Account lets users both send and receive money online using PayPal for free, however the only caveat is that you cannot accept credit cards and you are limited to receiving $500 (USD) per month. Also, until you add and confirm a bank account you are only allowed to send $2,000 (USD) using a Personal Account. Personal Accounts are used mainly by individuals for personal reasons (for instance, splitting a restaurant tab) and are normally not used for selling items on eBay (mainly because of the fact that most buyers want the convenience of paying with a credit card). More often than not, Personal Accounts are used for small transactions or for people who don't buy and sell online very often.

PayPal Premier Account:

The Premier Account is a bit more complicated account then the personal account. Here you are allowed to receive credit cards (and debit cards) and there is no monthly receiving limit. However, to receive money using this type of account you do get charged a small fee. The fee you are charged for receiving money is actually a percentage of the amount you receive (which varies from 1.9% to 2.9% depending on your sales volume) plus a small fixed fee of $0.30 (USD). The PayPal fees can easily be calculated in our calculator, the fees are complex and that is way the site is born..To have a account it free, the only time you are charge fees are when you get payment (receive money) and there is no monthly fees. The PayPal Premier Account is primarily aimed at individuals (and sole proprietorships) who want the ability to accept credit cards. This account type is probably used by the majority of eBay sellers. Also by having a Premier Account, you are allowed to apply for the PayPal ATM/Debit Card. This can be used like a credit card you can also make 1% cashback everytime you use it (but only if you are PayPal Preferred).This means that you are selling items on eBay.

PayPal - Business Account:

The PayPal Business Account can do everything a Premier account can do but instead of being aimed at individuals it is mainly targeted towards businesses and business owners. One unique feature of the Business Acount is the ability to give multiple users (such as business employees) some level of access to the account. With this PayPal account you can send payment with your company name, since it’s a business account and not a personal account.
