Best paypal type for my app where my friends put in their products to be sold to the public?

But there is a twist. The payment doesn't go to their account. I'm thinking of putting it in one account and sending the money to charity. I don't have a registered business as this is my first venture into a public app.
Is a personal account enough for this?

Hi @ryanbayona, hope you're doing well!
Yes! A personal account will do. PayPal might ask you business documents or information if you selected Business.

Hi WarrenPink,
Thank you for your reply. Just double-checking - I should have no problem if I use my personal paypal account to accept payments in my website for the products that I sell? Im just worried if my money will be held by PP 🙂
