Hi I belong to a small animal club in Britain. I have been researching adding a Paypal option to our website as it is desirable for attracting new members to our club. I have spoken to Paypal via phone and am advised that we would need to use a business account for this, it is free but a 3.4% cut of each transaction goes to Paypal. Great! Previous to my research, I was advised by another club member that we can not add paypal due to needing a merchant's account and incurred monthly charges. This is converse to what Paypal are telling me. My question is this: as we are a club, not a business as such, could the charges he was talking about be linked to the BANK ACCOUNT that would have to be used? ie, to use the FREE Paypal business account, do we need to use a special business bank account that would charge us for use, or can we use just a normal account in the name of the club for the business Paypal account? Thank You
