Asking to upgrade to business account

[NickinNJ]

Hi

I just sold something on Ebay. I got a email saying the payment is pending and I must upgrade to a PayPal business account to recieve the funds. I do not have a business.

How do I recieve the funds?

Ebay says "awaiting Payment" and "pending funds"

My previouse payment from Ebay went without a hitch.

Selling is a business activity, therefore, PalPal wants you to upgrade to a business account.

It has nothing to do with whether or not you are a registered business; it's the activity that matters.
