Accepting the occasional CC backed payment..

A while back, I was selling enough stuff on eBay that I created a 2nd paypal account, a Premier account that I've had for a while..   I also have a personal account with a different e-mail.

 

 I made sure to use the premier account any time I needed to accept a CC backed payment, and I used the personal account for everything else to accept payment free of any service charges..

 

Not long ago, somebody paid my personal account with a CC, and rather than telling me I had to upgrade my account to premier (like it had in the past) if I wanted to accept the payment, it said I could accept a certain number of CC payments per year with my personal account..  might have been 5.....

 

So, it seems I no longer need the two accounts....   since I don't really have an online business and mostly use paypal for personal online purchasing and the occasional ebay or craigslist sale of an item

 

Back in the day, when I got a CC xfer to my personal account, I'd reject it and tell them to send it to my other account rather than pay the fees.   probably being a cheap **bleep**, and wasting lost of time..   sounds like paypal has figured out how to let us use personal accounts to accept the occasional CC transfer and let the buyer or the seller pay that service charge..

 

 

can anybody think of a reason why I should keep my premier account at this point?
