Paypal- receiving payments

[gotraqs]

So, I looked all over that fruity web site, and I still don't know how many payments I can accept per month as a personal account holder. I know I got an e-mail from them one time long ago saying that I couldn't accept a payment because I had a limit on accepted payments.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

for the personal accounts, you can only receive 5 payments per year that are funded by credit cards, and for these, you will still be charged a fee. For other transactions, for example if someone pays you from their bank account or paypal balance, I don't see what, if any, limitation there is.

FYI if you sell on ebay, you can't say you accept paypal but specify that they buyer can't use credit cards though paypal, as a way to avoid having a business account.
