One thing to know for future reference, if you ever get sent a payment to your personal account which would require a premiere account to accept, the payment doesn't get blocked or anything like that. You'll get a notification email from Paypal that the payment is pending, and if you want to accept it you'll have to upgrade. So you never have to really worry, as payments aren't simply rejected. Premiere accounts do have fees, but only for recieving private payments from individuals. Most companies which deal through Paypal have agreements in place which waive all fees on your behalf.

There shouldn't be any need to upgrade. The only reasons to do it is if you want to accept credit card payments, or if you exceed a certain amount of payments to your account per year (It's a relatively high figure... $5000-$10000 from memory).

You will have the money in your paypal account.That is no problem.But if you need it in your hands,then you have to have a verified account and that needs a credit card,they acknowledge.Have you got your paypal account verified?If so,there is no problem.Cheers!

Thank you very much for your answer. You and lady_shan_17 made my day. And yes, I have my account verified. They took 1.5 euros from my debit card to verify it and now I can't withdraw them back because the limit is 10 euros. So i'm waiting to reach 10 euros in my balance.

you can received your money even if your account is verified or not. You don't have to upgrade your account it's just a waste of money.

if you choose personal account, no fees to be charge ...but I think the business type has...Not sure about that kind of type because I only used personal account...You can check the transaction details included or any fees.
