using paypal for two ebay accounts

popadom

Can you use the same paypal account for two ebay ids?

Paypal say"You can add multiple eBay User IDs, email addresses or funding sources to each of your accounts, however the same information cannot be registered with more than one account at any one time"

How do the people who have two accounts(buying/selling) manage?

You can add another email address to your paypal account, so that payments to/from each ebay account use different email addresses, but the money still comes out of/goes into the same paypal account. I do this with my buying and selling accounts.

You can add up to 8 email addresses to your one paypal account. You can also use each ebay id on more than one paypal account.

before people remind me that you are only allowed one each of each type of paypal account, I have a micro account and a premier account and all my selling accounts are registered on both of them. I just have to remember to change the paypal id if I switch between listing low cost items and higher cost items.

How do you link them?

so you can have up to 8 email address to one paypal account. But if you want more than one paypal account it needs to be a business and personal?

Nearly all business sellers seems to have premier and personal account. But if moving funds from one to the other you wont be charged from premier to personal but you will vice versa. So better just to withdraw straight to bank account. You just add the email to your profile in the sign in page. My sister in law works in a multi-lingual environment and has seperate email accounts for her italian and spanish customers. Me I couldnt juggle 8 emails cheers Lucy

I have 2 Ebay accounts, (a business one that I don't really use at the mo and a private one), one Paypal account and I use the same email address for both Ebay accounts.
Seems to work okay for me.

I have a micro and a premier and all my selling accounts work on both paypal accounts.

I have a pesonal account on ebay and tried to open a business account, it won't let me use the same email address. Has anyone else had this problem?

You need a new email address for a secondary paypal account.

Each ebay account needs it own email address.
