Does anybody know if you can have more than one paypal account? And if you can can you link both to the same bank account and credit card? Also, if allowed, can you transfer money from one account to the other? Any help would be appreciated.

It's possible to open two paypal accounts. And you can very well play to transact amounts betwwen these two paypal accounts as many times you want to. Provided you have two separate e_mail addresses and two separate credit cards. As such you don't get two credit cards on the same bank account unless it's a joint account of two persons(say husband & wife). Or in other case you can add your debit card in one paypal account and the credit card in the another paypal account with the single bank account. But I think all this exercise is of no use. Why exactly you are going for two accounts at all? Wish you all the best.

Yeah I think you can open like a personal one and a premier or business account and be the same person with the same email and credit card and bank account. Paypal is really friendly so calling them would be the easiest way to get your answer, they dont' leave you on hold forever.

I have two PayPal accounts but one is registered in my business name and the other is for personal use. For an individual to open two PayPal accounts is breaking PayPal's rules and they will freeze/close your accounts if they catch you doing this. Now, that's not to say there's not ways around it - as others have said using different bank accounts and credit cards on each will help to lessen the chances of PayPal finding out but they run all kinds of checks (including using your IP address) so there's every possibility you will get caught doing it I'm afraid.

Yes you can open one or more paypal accounts with same home address and use different email id and you can add six email id for each paypall account.
