Dumb question: Do I need Paypal Advanced or Pro account?

I've successfully built a website on Weebly and used their templates to add paypal to accept payments for goods. Weebly says I need an advanced PayPal account in order to list sizes, colors of items, variable sales tax and shipping rates. I'm not clear if I need an Advanced or Pro account. Seems like the only difference is the Pro account lets you accept credit cards over the phone...thanks

Seems Weebly should know.  Advanced is $5 a month, Pro is $30 a month.  PayPal Standard is free however, if you need multiple item button code features, you have to manually code the item buttons.  As you are working with templates, sounds like they are made to work with Advanced as the customer stays on your web site.  With Standard, the customer is directed to PayPal to complete the checkout process.

No worries, will have to check out Weebly, see what they have to offer.  We have always done our own sites and coding however, it good to know what other services are available.
