• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi there!

I'm thinking of getting a PayPal account. But which is th right one for me?

I want to be able to get some donations for my sceneries and getting cheques is not the right way - 15 € cheque and 7 € fees :(

I don't know if I should take the premium account or if the personal is enough ...

I'm sure, some of you have experience with them, can you give me a hint?
 
Hi Georg,

for my (non-existing :D) donations for Flyways I use a premium-account. I think it's a good balance, for you have almost no costs and people can use creditcard or, erm, what's it called in english: "Überweisung"? :o
 
Seems likely. :)

I think credit card and transfer are the two common pay options, aren't they?
 
I think most folks prefer credit card or transfer. Not much is done by check or money order these days. As bad as they can be, most folks are safer with a credit card than they are sharing their checking account info online. There's at least a process to contest fraudulent charges with credit cards.

Just about anyone can get a credit card these days (though the interest rates can vary enormously and there are those who've got too many maxed out cards in which case a check would be risky to accept too).
 
Hi Georg,

The main difference is that if you have a personal account that people can not sent money directly from their credit card. They would have to transfer it to their PayPal funds first, before they can send it to you. Also I think there were some other limits on the amount you can receive (it is all explained rather well on the website).

I first started with a personal account, but once I really decided I wanted an easy way to accept donations from this site I upgraded as well.
