What just happened to accepting Paypal?? looks like they are trying to drive us away


i may have over reacted... for some reason PayPal wants to drive me into a business account. Looks like the fees are the same so not sure what that is all about, I'm just suspicious by nature

If you switch to a business account which is pretty easy you get a merchant ID, enter it here, and move on. If you don't want to do that then they make it very complicated to fill out forms, etc. I gave up and switched to business, made up a bogus business name and am moving on...

You can add my name to the casualty list. Sold an item last week and the buyer couldn't get his Paypal payment through. I had to file a trouble ticket to find out that I had to add a merchant ID to my account. A few days later I tried to buy something. I couldn't make my Paypal payment go through. The seller is trying to check his merchant ID while I have opened another TT to get help. 
I feel sorry for the customer support people. If my experience is anywhere near typical, they're getting crushed.
