Do you share your paypal account? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. cutepenguin (3711)   ranked 963 out of 19,310 in questions & answers1 month ago

My husband and I share a paypal account - it's linked to our bank account and to his credit card.

This causes a small problem - I will make bits of money off of different websites -- and he will spend the money. Once it was for Christmas presents. Another time it was something his dad was ordering off of eBay and so he did it for his dad.

These are things that we would spend money on normally, so the moeny part isn't the problem. The problem is that then it feels like I've done all of this work and not had any fun, nor gotten to see our credit card balance go down. (although the times before that, we did empty out the paypal account to pay bills).

No I don't share my paypal account with anyone, I have my accunt all to myself, what I do is when I get my payout, I let them sit in my paypal account, until I need them, and then I go to my bank, and withdraw my money out of my account, I don't let my money sit in my bank account, because I don't trust the banks, they take out fees out of my account all the time. happythumbup

we do this sometimes. It's just that it gets tempting if we let it pile up.

Hi cutepenguin

Sharing between husband and wife does be termed as sharing. It is mutual using. To give the password to other is called sharing. It is not safe. Whom with you share has he the creditability is the question. So no one will like to share paypal account with other.

Oh, I'm not worried about the password. he often forgets it anyway. it's more that we end up finding uses for the money that were not what I had in mind.

Hi

You share this with near and dear one that is not rear. But the rear you find who share with the people out side of your family member.

I don't share my PayPal account to everyone in my house even though my brother using same connection. Once, I receive or used the money so I'll know who using my account.

My husband and I have our own pay pal accounts. We both know each others passwords but my money goes to my own bank and his goes to his. It is easier this way. I would go and get a pre-paid credit card and get your own pay pal account. It is much easier this way then trying to figure out who's money is who's.

I guess so. It's not really about the money, more that I wanted the money to go to one thing.

My husband and I do share. What we do is when there is money in the paypal account we both sit down and discuss how much is in there. Since I am the one who works online he allows me to withdraw it and do whatever I want to. Only one time did he ask for the money, but that was because we had a bill due and he was not scheduled to get paid for three days.

I don't mind if he uses the money. I guess I wanted us to take turns, maybe?

I don't share my PayPal account with anyone and your situation is exactly why I wouldn't. Just because you're married doesn't mean you don't have a right to have your own cash and do what you want with it. In a crisis, sure, then you'll pool your resources, and it is a little different if one spouse is earning and one is not. However, if both spouses have some income I think it's up each person to decide whether that money goes to group things or something more personal.

When my husband was alive we each had our own bank account. But still whoever needed money knew he had the money of the other. So it was just a way of understanding our expenditures.
I´m afraid I have a tendency to trust a lot of people. Most of them have been wonderful to me. I trust people with money, give keys to my house to many people, sleep with the door to the terrace open. Some people know many of my passwords. I have never had any problem.
But for me it was important to have my account. I would save money and when my hubby had little work (an normally little money) I would invite him for a small outing. happy
Take care!

Well if i has a wife i would proabably share it with her unless she didnt want to. Sharing it with a friend is really risky unless you know they are like 100% trust worthy and youve known them for X years or something like that. And no i do not share my paypal account. It seems to risky at the moment.

I think its too risky to share an account unless its with my TRUSTWORTHY wife (if i had one:P) sharing it with a friend seems like its okay and this happeneds alot. You trust the person then they eaither spend or steal all the money. I would only share it with something ive known a long time and i know is trustworthy 100% and NO i do not share my paypal account.
