Question Paypal Question - Please Help Fast!

Hello everyone! I promise that as soon as I get things figured out I will quit bugging you guys. I am trying to get started with writing articles for money and also product/website reviews on my blog. Right now I have a website review that I am doing and I am needing to set up a PayPal account to get paid. I went to the PayPal website and now am just really confused. lol. Do I need a business account? And also, I don't have a website that is selling products so the options to have the "button" Pay with PayPal isn't necessary. How do I just set up an account that will allow me to tell my customers where to deposit their payments? Does this make any sense? Please help because I need to figure this out today as I should be getting paid today.

Thank you so much for your time and help!

I looked at our account and it says we have a premier account. So try clicking on that when you sign up. All you need to tell your client is the email address you use for paypal, unless they want an invoice.

Thank you so much! I actually called Paypal because it wasn't showing I had any responses yet...lol...anyways - they told me the same thing you guys did. I just need a Premier Account and then the clients will ask for that email address and pay me that way. Whew...I was a little overwhelmed when I looked at the paypal page and saw ALL those options! lol.

Thank you for your responses!
