    You can only do that if you actually create a second Paypal account and then make a payment to yourself. However both addresses would be in the same name and you stand the risk of Paypal identifying this transaction, considering it money laundering and then freezing the funds while they investigate.

    I assume you are talking a substantial amount else you wouldn't be overly bothered about the 3% charge
