Personal to business

[Emily1223]

I’m new to PayPal and I am starting to sell clothes on depop and eventually will start selling on eBay as well, so I’ll be doing both at the same time. 1) If i switch my account from personal to business what do I put for “Legal business name” ? 2) Since I’ll be doing both eBay and depop will I have to put both as legal business name?

Hi @Emily1223,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the Community Forum!

In general, if you are an individual selling online but you do not have a registered business, when you upgrade to Business please make sure to choose 'Individual' or 'Sole proprietorship' as a business type, depending on your situation. Regarding the name, the 'Business name' would the name appearing on your customer's statements after buying from you. In general, companies insert the company name or the name of their shop.

I hope this helps.
