Which paypal account type is suited for me?

Question

I see there are three types, personal, premier and merchant.

I plan to do some internet surveys that pay cash and I want the money to be sent to a paypal account for security reasons. Im sure in the future I might buy things online but for now its just an account that will be getting money.

Another option I have is to just have the checks from the internet websites sent to my p.o. box. Either way I dont want the checks sent to my home address for obvious security reasons.

Answer 1

if all you want to do is receive money you don't need merchant.

If the money is sent as a transfer from an account then you can use personal if you want to be able to received CC payments you need Premier
