Must I create a business account in order to sell personal posessions occasionally?

[ark01]

I have some pieces of photo equipment I no longer use and would like to sell. If I want to request a PayPal "Purchase Payment," do I need to create a business account in order to do so? Because I'm not running a business, I don't know how to describe that non-business on the account upgrade form.

Most sellers on ebay are not businesses but just folks selling stuff they no longer want.

You would still need a business account but you just fill it in as an individual and not as a registered business.

I give up my time to help you so a thank you or kudos would be cool.

Marking one of my replies as a solution would be appreciated if I sorted your problem.

I'm asking about PayPal, not eBay.

Same answer.

But none of the choices offered for "nature of business," which is mandatory, is anywhere close to accurate.
