In the US, PayPal users are allowed to have 2 accounts: 1 business, 1 personal.
Personal Accounts
- Cannot be linked to the same bank account/credit card as any other PayPal
account
- Cannot accept credit card funded payments which also means you cannot accept
international payments from most PayPal countries
- Cannot receive more than $1,000 per month including transfers from your
business account
- Are not assessed fees for receiving funds
Business Accounts
- Cannot be linked to the same bank account/credit card as any other PayPal
account
- Are assessed roughly 3% + $0.30 of every received payment including balance
funded payments
As a seller, until you know the source of the funds, you can't direct a buyer to
the correct account.
