Best way to get paid on Paypal
 

Hello,

I have my online store, but i don't want to link it to paypal, so i wonder what is the best way to get paid on paypal :

- Send payment request
- Send an invoice
- Give my email adress to the buyer for a direct payment ??

What is the difference between request money and send invoice ?

by best way i mean, the best way to not have my paypal limited.

would be great if some paypal expert can help, thanks

I don't think there is a best way to go about it. Any of the three methods could potentially be risky if you start receiving payments from the same person repeatedly. With that being said, I recommend invoicing. When you send an invoice you have the option of adding tracking info, which looks more like a legitimate business transaction in my opinion. I'm not sure if you can add tracking when you request money or receive a direct payment. Paypal may question you about where the payments are coming from though if you don't link the Paypal to anything.

I've noticed when buying from suppliers which accept paypal that some will send an invoice and some will just request money. So, either way will work. But those suppliers have dozens of paypal accounts and they aren't afraid to lose one.

Hope this helps some..
