I have a website, similar to the pixel selling craze...but anyway, what is the best well to sell...I have a Paypal Buy it Now button up, encrypted, but will that display my name/address or not? (not that it's a big deal).

Also, what other settings do I need to edit in my Paypal account?

Payments won't be huge, sub $500 if that means anything. But it could add up

If you have a Business account, the checkout pages will display your Business name to your customers. Your customer service email address will be provided to the customers in their transaction receipts.

If you have a Premier account, the checkout pages will display the primary email address of your PayPal account. Your customers will be able to see your name in their transaction receipts.


If you are not selling any physical goods, be sure that your payment button is set up as "no shipping required" - this way customers will not be asked for a shipping address during their payment and so it should avoid any unnecessary confusion.

I have Premier. I don't care about name/email address too much. Can I change my name somehow (I mean to say my webpage) or not?

I think that's it. So just linking to a Buy it Now button would be sufficient (with encryption)? Also, do I need to say Yes to "Block Non-encrypted Website Payment" under Profile>Website Payment Preferences? I already have the button as encrypted

Also, I have 2 email addresses under Paypal. I just changed my primary to my other one. Now, if someone sends money to the first one (not primary anymore), will it still go into my account or not? (mainly talking about eBay)

If you'd like to display your company name or website name in the customer's checkout pages, you can either upgrade to a Business account, or customize your payment pages.

If you upgrade to a Business account, the fees are the same as a Premier account. The main difference is that your Business name is used for all your payments, plus you have access to some additional features such as Multi-User Access. Please note that the same Business name will be used for all payments, so you can't display a different Business name on the transaction receipts from different websites.

If you just want to display a different name on the checkout pages that your customers see as they are making a payment, you can use a logo with your company name or website name and create a "Custom Payment Page" style. You can create multiple different page styles for different websites.

If you choose that option, it will block all payments sent to you using "Send Money" from the PayPal website. I don't think that it blocks eBay payments, but I haven't tried that. You probably don't need to block any payments, as long as you aren't seeing any suspicious payment attempts coming through.

As long as you did not remove the first email address from the account, it should still work; any payments sent to that address will still go to your same PayPal account.

Wow, thanks for all the info, it was really helpful. I think I'm done here! :)

Thx again
