Using legit paypal to accept payments on webstore?
 

So I am in the middle of designing a website to sell my products so I do not only have to rely on ebay. I use my company name and info to sell on my legit ebay account and accept payments through my legit business paypal. Now I am at the stage where I need to set up payments for my website and it goes without saying that it would only be wise to accept Paypal. Should I use my legit business paypal account? It would make things a hell of a lot easier and a lot more legal when it comes to taxes. Any variables I am not considering?

Only variable, from my pov, is putting all your payment options in one basket.

Certainly paypal is OK with a business account.

I would consider another source as well.

Look at google checkout ,CCNow or others.

Take whatever steps you can to have control over your own monies.

Do not limit yourself to paypal.

:typing:

Yea I was planning on implementing multiple payment gateways. It was just a question of whether or not I should use my main PayPal account for PayPal payments. LoL as we speak, PayPal just limited my main PayPal account due to an issue with my debit card. I recently closed that bank account so I'm guessing they run random credit/debit card verifications. Ugh time to get all my docs together...

Gb makes a good point about other payment processor considerations.

I would have made the recommendation to use a fresh pp for your website so that your main pp does not get involved.

All the best with lifting the limitation

Thanks, got the limitation removed pretty quickly and ended up not having to provide doc's. I still haven't added PayPal to the website yet as I still have a ways to go. So your saying I should make a stealth account to use?

go stealth as much as possible. try not to mix things

Stealth it is then. I have put so much work into this anyway so what is a few extra minutes to log in using a stealth ip. So now can anyone recommend a good Payment Gateway?
