you get charged a small fee when you recieve money from ANYONE with a premium account....but you will be a much more reputable sellre if you hare premium as well.

you will get charges 2.9% + $0.30 if you have a premium account.

personal account will cost you nothing... but the aggravation from stupid ppl who are blind to the thick bold red font saying you do not accept credit cards.

Yeah, to me it's worth the fees NOT having to explain that sh!t.

If you're selling everything within one month, wait to upgrade. You'll get one month to upgrade to the Premium account before you lose the money from the credit card transactions. Wait until the non-credit card transactions have been paid for, then upgrade to claim the money from the credit card transactions. That way you only pay fees on the credit card transactions. :)

Regular account just means you can't get Credit Card payments. SO just tell people to fund their Paypal account with the bank account instead.

Once you upgrade, you get a fee from EVERYONE that pays you even if they use a bank account.

I stay regular

I don't sell on ebay all that often, maybe once a month if that, but even with that low volume I finally got tired of having to explain to all the fvcktards that I didn't accept credit cards, and just went premium. I tried to do two accounts, but they only allow one account per bank account.
