Making a Redbubble and unsure of account type I should use?

[marycart]

Okay, so, I'm wanting to set up a Redbubble and begin selling my art online. However, I'm not sure what kind of PayPal account I should have in order to do so. A lot of forums I came across said Premier, but that wasn't an option when I signed up (maybe it's no longer an option?). Should I make a Business account for it? And if so, what should I put as the name of my business? I don't really have an actual business, I'm just trying to casually sell my art online. Would it be alright to just put my Redbubble username in that spot? Sorry for the crazy amount of questions, I'm just very new to all of this and I want to make sure that I do things right.

Hi,

You would need either a Premier or Business Account if you want to accept credit card transactions online or in person. Your customers do not have to have a PayPalAccount, they can check out as a guest. (Personal accounts are really intended for shopping online or sending/receiving money to friends or family.)

1. Foremost, login to your PayPal personal account by going to PayPal's login page.
2. Click on the Upgrade link that shows up right below your name, next to the account type.
3. The next page will allow you to choose a personal Premier Account or a Business Account. Simply select which type of account you would like, and click the Continue button.

Thank you for the response. If you don't mind, though, I have a couple more questions. Is there any way that I could have both a Personal account AND a Premier account? Or would upgrading get rid of my personal account?

Hi again,

No. However you can have one Personal and one Business account. Each account needs to have a unique email address.

Hi marycart,

Premier accounts are no longer an available option for our customers. One may have a Premier account if they signed up for one when they were an available option but no new or existing customers can sign up for a Premier account.
