I'm an eBay seller, Should I use a personal account or business account? and can I still receive payments from buyers with a personal account?
Keep in mind I'm from Algeria and both my eBay account and PayPal are too. and I've Lithuania (Paysera) debit card linked to my PayPal

From eBay:

"Personal accounts are for casual buying and selling on eBay, while business accounts are a good option for sellers who:

 

  • Sell ​​items that were bought exclusively for resale
  • Make items and sell them, intending to make a profit
  • Sell a large number of goods on a regular basis
  • Buy items for their business

Business sellers can register with a company name which will appear in correspondences and invoices. They may also be eligible for tax benefits and qualify for discounts on eBay fees.

To become a business seller, you can either change your personal account to a business account or register a new business account."

If you're a casual/occasional seller with eBay, then link a personal Paypal account. If you want to go full stop pro seller, larger volume, then open a PayPal business account to link with it.

 

Note: Don't know if you were ever able to withdraw to your Paysera card before but in your country, funds can only be withdrawn to Visa card issued in Algeria.
