  • I would like to know too.
  • Mine's the same and i'm only a private seller. I think it made me upgrade to accept payments, so i'm leaving it as is for now! x
    If google doesn't know it, how should i?

    I asked Paypal as I upgraded without realising the consequences and they did it for us, I seem to recall they would only do it once

    For buying you can have any account you want and if they are upgrading it actually makes no difference to your buying, but you might want to phone and ask them when and why you were upgraded.

    However as a seller you do need at least a premier account as otherwise you can't accept card payments, so as soon as you start selling you would have to upgrade from a basic account anyway.
