Band wants to sell albums online -Help please

[alick]

Hello. I have a personal paypal account using my personal e-mail for buying on ebay etc.... I would like to sell my bands album on our web site with a paypal store. We do not have a bank account for the band. Can I use my Paypal account for this but can I use the bands e-mail to deal with buyers.

as we are new to this any tips to make it easier. Thanks

At a minimum you need a Premier Account or a Business Account and sign up for Website Payments Standard.   A Personal Account is not intended for sales and has it limitations.   Suggest acquiring a bank account, else you will have to get approved for a PayPal Plus Credit Card, or PayPal Buyer Credit.

As for online sales, if you plan to go digital, your easiest method is use a 3rd party Digital Goods Delivery service.  For example, this one is easy to get up and running, there's no programming skills needed.

You should also do some homework, check out the following docmentation which can be found here.

You can use your PayPal Account, but as perviously mentioned, you should upgrade to a Premier or Business Account.  Assuming the band does not have a PayPal Account, you can add their email address to your Account.
