creating business account
 

what do they ask for when making a business account over a standard one?

Re: creating business account
 

Nothing much, a business name etc.. no tax info.

Re: creating business account
 

You can upgrade to business as simple as adding a business name / address, which can be the same as your personal account. However, I have seen PayPal request additional information on the business when its done like this.

More red tape generally with business accounts.

Always more info needed down the line from PayPal...stick to Personal is my preference

Re: creating business account
 

Are you talking about an eBay business account or a PayPal business account here?

Re: creating business account
 

Ah right, just the ebay account. Was assuming they automatically got the 100 items per month limit but thinking I got that wrong if they're no harder to make?
Honestly want to buy some off of either of you 2 above but nervous they'll just get banned lol. Already had 4-5 from callidus going well so far but.....lol

Learn to make them yourself or purchase them from a list of very reputable sellers :thumb:

Re: creating business account
 

so I don't need a genuine address to make a business account (and get the 100/3500 limits)?

Re: creating business account
 

You need to look as real as you can and have an accessible address.

gone are the days of no access to an address.

Business accounts are a risk because ebay want an address on listings.

Think carefully here.

:nono:

Re: creating business account
 

Yeah I have thought about it lol. And I understand all that but my other business accounts are going fine so I want some more. Really can't have 50 personal accounts like I said in another thread. If someone could pm me how to sort the address out for a business account I'll love you forever

Re: creating business account

Re: creating business account
 

utility bill I think, most are recommending not to do that now

Re: creating business account
 

A lot more can be asked for than just utility bill, incorporation documents, supplier info.....

Re: creating business account
 

What was happening before the purges, paypal wanted a lot of info regarding the actual workings of the business.

ID, business details, registered address of the business head office. BUT worse, they also asked for selling plans. Bar stewards wanted to know if stock was in hand.

This was not just for the usual limitations but part of their prying into the workings of accounts.

Unless a seller had a fully operational business account, it is preferable to avoid the concept, imho.

Re: creating business account
 

Sometimes supplier invoices...proof of shipping for few orders...issues like that

Re: creating business account
 

i presume things maybe a bit more relaxed if your a sole trader? or maybe not.

2 years ago, the things they reqiured was pretty much attainable and easyily to give to them.

wonder if starting off as a personal and then changing to business might be better.

Re: creating business account
 

on a side note, i recollect on a non stealth business account created a few years back i could not supply supplier invoices to paypal and explained this to them, paypal asked me to take a photo of me with the items in my possession with my name and ebay id on a piece of paper and send that in.

Incorrect assumption on automatic listing limits
