As many as you like. However we are limited to one of each type of paypal account and as each paypal account can only have 8 email addresses linked to it that is effectively the limit.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Each account is still linked to you as they must all be opened with the correct name and address. Also if they all use the same paypal aco!!!! that is also a clue.
The usual rules still apply as well, no interaction between accounts and if suspended or restricted on one then you cannot use the others until the suspension is listed on the problem one.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Sorry if I'm being a bit thick. I can't tell if you mean that what I describe would be ok (as the upgraded account wouldn't be restricted anymore).
Just wondering as my dad's just been told he has to upgrade his account just because he was selling off a few bits and bobs for other relatives and now they think he's a business, he's not happy! Or would he be able to open a new account in my mum's name instead?
He could try opening another account but he would need all new bank details and such like. I have seen no strong indication that this will trigger another upgrade email or not.
Or your mum could open an account as long as she has a bank account to link to it for selling.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.
