Does we need a business paypal account to receive affiliate marketing payments?

^^ True. However, many affiliate networks insist that you upgrade to a business or premiere account before you can sign up as an affiliate.

Most of the time a regular personal paypal account works perfectly fine but you might want to look into getting a business paypal account if your planning on taking on large sums and you don`t want paypal to freeze your account for some reason.

i have personal paypal account and works hust fine

yes you need a global account like paypal, or any other also.

Thanks a lot for all those replies. Just now i upgraded my account to a premier one. It is enough for this process.

Yes you really need a business account

Verified premier account will be OK.

Yes, you have to follow the link

^^ Correct. There's also an extensive FAQ inside Paypal.

There should be a link within Paypal after you've logged in.

I am a verified paypal member and verified my bank account with it. How can i upgrade my account. Can you give me the details?

Yes, you require a verified Premier or Business account in order to receive affiliate payments. Affiliate payments cannot be processed to personal accounts. Upgrading to a premier or business account is free. Getting verified requires you to link your credit card or your bank account to your Paypal account.
