Do we need credit card merchant account if we sell using Paypal?

Our company is planning to open an online store and accept online payments using Paypal (which we know can be used for credit card payments).


We are already an accredited credit card merchant, so do we need to get another MERCHANT ACCOUNT in order to accept credit card payments ONLINE?


Also, will ONLINE INVOICES created in Paypal be enough for BIR/government audit?|||Paypal will be your merchant account, so you don't need another one. In the US, Paypal's online statements are fine for tax auditing, but it'll be easier if you maintain your own books also.|||The best solution depends on your specific needs. the following website should help you figure out if you would better go for a regular merchant account versus a PayPal account.

Just because Paypal gets paid doesn't always mean you will get your money promptly or at all..|||Paypal is terrible for merchant accounts, they hold your money for days and their rates are very high.
