PayPal business account?

[Mrtazz]

Isit possible to open a stealth PayPal business account?

Do PayPal ask for business registration number to verify if the business is registered or not.

Ps sugestions and opinions on a stealth PayPal business accounts are welcome!!

a business account does not necessarily need a company number, you could be just a sole trader, you will be asked all those questions but it lets you just choose the option that fits you.

Cool. If PayPal request documents to verify the account details to lift the limits will they ask for anything to do with the business?

[GreenBean]

yes, that's why they ask for info.

Think very carefully here, VERY.

That will be uber helpful for a user from the UK.

He will learn heaps from USA info.

Before going ahead and making the leap to a business account, I suggest you look at posts by Stigger.

He has posted in depth about business accounts. You will find them interesting reading.

They won't ask for the business docs up front, but if it's limited, they most certainly will.
