Getting paid with PayPal

If you need currency conversion or if your currency is not on the list for Eventbrite Payment Processing (direct deposit), you can use PayPal.

To get started, make sure you have eblink{a Premier or Business Account on Paypal=>https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/account-selection}. Then go to ‘Payment Options’ under ‘Payments & Tax’.
