Me too. WTF, I never had an issue previously with selling. Called PayPal and the told me the email was fake because the greeting said, "Dear username(dot)com" in lieu of "Dear First Last". But their security guys obviously don't know what the business guys are doing because it was a legit email.
I put in multiple email help requests and only received canned email responses that were of no use. Then searched the FAQs and found that you are now forced to have a business account if you plan to sell anything. There is a third account type beyond Personal and Business called a Premier account. But the documents indicate you have to first upgrade to a Business account, and then down grade to the Premier account. But, there is no way to do this online, and support don't appear to know how to do this either. Extremely poor customer support, and I am sure they are going to loose a ton of sellers because they are making it too tough to just do occasional selling. Big F U PayPal.

Okay, so now I see in the forum that only Personal and Business accounts exist. Don't get why you can't do ocassional selling from a personal account. Really **bleep** up a sale when without warning you are forced to upgrade or not receive funds from an eBay transaction.

The new personal account is really the premier account which you can accept payment under goods and services and accept credit card payments.
if you have an old personal account,then upgrade it.
