Paypal UpGrade to business, Choose which Category do I pick??
 

I am wanting to upgrade to a Paypal Business account as a sole proprietorship. I sell Dvds, mainstream and adult. Ive provided my real name an social security #. What other steps should I take to avoid getting limited or flagged. For example on the "business category" should I choose Entertainment & Media> Dvds, Movies etc............Or are there other option to avoid getting flagged for selling in a high risk category ?? Any advise will help, Ive been using paypal for years but this is the first time Ive actually used a real name & my SSN

THANKS!

I would not chose that category. I would go with something else.

And no way would I sell just DVDs etc.

Especially on a new account.

Pick collectibles and sell some junk out of your house and mix in your DVDs.

I always select Individual

Yes, I agree.

individual never gets you limited? I'd assume that after you hit a specific amount in sales they would limit your account no?

I learned to never put "Charity" for Business with Paypal.

When you receive a lot of payments and you're still individual, will that be red flag?
