when to go business account

[dave321]

Had a look through forum but can not see any up to date info.

I have a 10 month old stealth account selling 30-40 items a month and growing, I am in the used collectables marked so every listing is different, taking over 2K a month so think I should upgrade to business.

What i need to know is what is involved with upgrading, what do paypal & ebay need to know, do they still send out the letter?

[they_screwed_me_too]

do you mean a welcome letter from pp ?

or the raise selling limits letter from EB ?

ive not had a letter from PP ever when ive created a business account

[dave321]

so is it just a case of ticking the tab to upgrade to business and that is it or do ebay PP require any further info or docs sent.

[they_screwed_me_too]

are you premier at the moment ?

[dave321]

i run ebay business account with personal PP.

As long as tax is paid.

Opening a business PP can open another can of worms, i never try fix whats not broken.

[they_screwed_me_too]

not neccessary to upgrade

[arshavin]

Whats this can of worms then? I thought everyone who opened new accounts went with business?!

OK so are you saying you upgrade Ebay to business but leave PP as personal account?

Stay as premier - open up new accounts and begin building

[arshavin]

Interesting. Keep the ebay as a personal also?

You can open paypal accounts without adding bank accounts to them.

Operating with unverified pp takes skill and what you do Elijah is good - but for folx in general who are operating with pp on a standard level, still better to have them verified.

I agree though that opening pp accounts is easy when you know exactly what you are doing.

Very very interesting. Is this something that can be discussed openly?

thats what im saying.

Depends how you're selling, but don't you get significantly cheaper selling fees as a business account?

Or still not worth it?

We are talking personal PP account and bus eby account , so discounts are still there if you qualify

you would have known that if you had read the post above your own

[dave321]

Have not done it for a while but thought when I upgraded with ebay it took me to PP account.
So is it a case of just selecting & upgrading business account with ebay and that`s it or do they require further info.

Not in this subforum. Maybe behind closed doors so to speak

You really think ebay do not have the money to get in there and read it?
