is it legal to have multiple paypal accounts

paypal allowed one premier/business account and one personal account. that means you can have 2 accounts under the same name.

i think it is possible to have multiple accounts but why should you need multiple accounts when one is working well with you?

In India Paypal introduced adding PAN card information .So now nobody atleast in India can use fake accounts.U can make one account for single individual but me no much idea about other countries.

Hi.. I agree totally with the above advice... speaking from experience, I opened another account in my name, because my main one was getting hacked into, and paypal ended up closing all my accounts associated with me. Now I have no paypal, and am thinking of opening up a new one in a different name, so that I can buy things from ebay. I advise you do not create a new one unless you use a different name, otherwise all accounts will get closed. Also sometimes they realise through your IP address, that is what they told me.

Mmmm...not really sure about that, but if you do have two Paypal account, then they surely will find out that you own them both from you credit/debit card information..even if you use two different cards as well. Well, I'm only saying that because you need those cards to verify your account. The thing that I know too is that you can actually add up to 7 different email addresses to your paypal account, which is pretty much means you can share it with your family I guess. Try to read their TOS if they have stated anything about this there. Have a nice day

It's illegal of course if your 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on have the same name for each account. So i suggest that you should use different names and different emails to make it not look like it's owned by one person. Happy Mylotting!
