What is the difference between Personal and Business accounts? 

All PayPal accounts allow you to send and receive payments.

We also recommend a Personal account for casual sellers who want to receive payments online for selling products or services, as well as making online purchases.

Business Account

Sign up for and use a Business account to: 

• Operate under a company/group name  
• Accept debit card, credit card, and bank account payments for a low fee 
• Allow up to 200 employees limited access to your account 
• Access PayPal products such as PayPal Checkout
