Airbnb payments via Paypal

OTA = Online Travel Agency, which means those sites that sell the booking and take the payment for you.

Airbnb payments via Paypal

Post by baringa »

If accepting payments by Airbnb via Paypal, would this need to be a Paypal business account? I don't get many bookings through Airbnb and I don't take many payments via Paypal, just the occasional deposit for a rental, so my Paypal account is currently only a personal one. But I don't want them blocking it because they detect I am using it for the occasional business payment.

Any experiences or advice please.

Ours come through our business PayPal which I think they prefer. Do you list with HL / TA? If you do you get a preferential rate through them on a business account. which applies to all transactions.

Yes, and I didn't know that; thanks for the tip!
