Those with an etsy shop.
I have a question. Would you mind if I PM'd you? I don't want to break any TOS. I'm having issues with figuring out what type of bank account to open. I'm tired of getting the run around from different people and so I figured the people who have shops could help more than the person in India with my bank who doesn't understand me and who I don't understand. I feel like I'm in that auto insurance commercial where they just keep transferring the woman to different people and back to the same one, haha.
and if I am breaking any TOS here just let me know and I'll remove this.

Alrighty, well, what sort of account did you all open (if you opened a new one)? I've had one person at the bank tell me I needed a business account and another said a personal account would be fine. I've also heard both from others, but none of them had etsy shops.

I have a separate personal account with my credit union, but a Paypal business account.
As far as Paypal goes, you have to yhave a premeire or business account there.
It really hasn't mattered much at this point, but I haven't looked into the advantages either way.
Crap I hadn't even thought about the Paypal part. I was just focusing on the bank account. I was planning on opening a personal, but when people started talking about having to have a business account it made me uneasy on my decision.

I opened a business checking through Chase bank and got a business credit card through them also. As long as you used their debit card once every so often, there are no fees, no minimums, nothing. I did it just so that I kept everything on mine separate, and also so I can accept payments (from local shows, etc) as my shop name OR my real name.
Through PayPal, I set up the business or premiere (it's too early to remember which one) account to see through. I have another account through PayPal for all of my non-Etsy items, so that I keep my personal and my shop completely separate so when tax time comes, it isn't as much thinking!
