Which type of PayPal acct for club taking registration dues?

[AustinJim]

Hi all,
I am a member of a small car club and we want to allow our members to pay dues online on our web site. It seems to me that PayPal won't allow us to use a personal account for this because they seem to be limited to receiving 5 credit card payments per year. Does that sound correct? So, I need to know if we can create a paypal account for our club. We have a club checking account. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should proceed?
Thanks!

I have a similar question.  I belong to a hiking club with several hundred members.  Most have email addresses, but few have PayPal accounts.  We're looking for a way collect the annual dues more quickly and conveniently from the members.  Is it feasible to collect the dues through PayPal?  How? And what would it cost to do so?

Everyone,

When registering a club, organization, or business, choose "Business" for the type of account and keep it as a separate account from your current, personal PayPal account.  An individual from the club or organization will need to act as a point of contact for PayPal; when signing up, use that persons name and enter the clubs name as the Business name. 

Our fee information is available here: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-fees-outside

Hope this helps,

Adrian

What are the advantages, if any, of collecting dues from several hundred members of our club using PayPal versus receiving checks in the mail?
