    make sure i have the numbers i wanted to get some pre-bookings. sorry if was not clear!
    Ah I see, so you are having a big party but there is a central account that you want the money paid to. That makes sense. If it is family you can specify that they need to pay with a bank account only, no card payments. For this you would only need a personal account. If it reaches 4k then you will need to upgrade and give lots of other info to prove who you are. This is because of money launderiung regulations.

    Could you not give family and friends your bank account details for them to put it into your bank account by transfer?

    Yes, if you have a personal account you cannot accept card payments, if someoe tried to pay by card it will not allow the money into your 'account' until you have upgraded your account.

    thanks for the pm by the way. got paypal set up but if people book this way and only on the basic format i am not sure how i will be able to tell they have paid unless....does it come out clear on the other side? i think the ideal way is to try it out myself maybe would you say?
    Hi,

    does anybody else remember the days when you got a birthday card and eagerly opened it hoping there would be money inside.


    Changed days. :rotfl:
