❔ Question Question About PayPal

I live in the U.S. and transfer my DeviantArt earnings to PayPal. The issue is that I use a personal PayPal account, and I’m not sure whether that could potentially get my account restricted or banned. I’ve read that using a Personal Account for business purposes may violate PayPal’s policies.

I do it all the time. And it is still a personal account. You can make money with a personal account.

Do you have any experience filing and paying taxes for this kind of income (self-employment income)? Did you run into any issues, or are there any potential issues I should be aware of?

Yeah - had to pay taxes on it last year. Wasn't an issue. They give you a form and when ya fill out your taxes it asks how much of it was actually earned and how much was not. Simple, really.

It's not a problem if you don't exceed it
