paypal account upgrade?

Hi,
I have recently started my own online shopping website, with Zen cart as my shopping cart. Do i need to upgrade paypal to premier or business account to recieve payments, as i have had my first order, and it does not show up in my paypal account. I have set it up as instructed and was aware that after a payment it would show up straight away in Paypal, but it is not there.

yes, you will need at least a PREMIER account - and it should be VERIFIED as well, so that you can link it to your bank account, and also not have a ceiling on total transaction value.

Re: paypal account upgrade?

Why exactly are you expecting money in your PayPal account?
Is it because you're seeing an order in your online store?
Does that order specifically say it was paid-for by PayPal?
What modules do you have listed in Admin->Modules->Payment? Which ones have green dots next to them?
What version of Zen Cart are you using?
