I recently created a standrad business paypal account. in the near future, I want to make the organization a 501(c)3 but in the mean time, I was trying to set up my account so I could begin to receive donations; I do not have a 501 (c) 3 tax code. I entered my self as an INDIVIDUAL under the category of NONPROFIT and subcategory or CHARITY. I figured since I registered as an individual, it wold be understood tha tI am an individual raising money for a charity. Now, PayPal is contacting me telling me that I registed as a nonprofit/charity and I need to send them the right forms verifying my 501(c)3 status. I just want to be able to collect donations. Is there another way for me to collect donations? Do I need to change something on my profile?
