Hello,

I recently sold something on Facebook marketplace and its telling me i need to set up a business account. I don't own a business and it says it requires a business name and such, but as I am an individual, how do I set this up so i can receive my money? I see no area where i can place an "individual" setting or anything similar, and I dont need to add more weird stuff to my taxes lol. can someone explain the process to me?

Hi Skitterine, 

 

Thank you for contacting the PayPal Community Forum, and welcome as a new member! 

 

You do not need to own a Business in order to have a Business PayPal account. When completing the Business information set-up, there is an option to select "Individual".
