Basic Bank Account and Paypal

Hi,
I have just been declined for a Business Account ! (Bad credit), but I have 2 Basic bank Accounts, one with Clydesdale Bank and the Other with Bank Of Scotland, can I get my Paypal Funds paid into one of them and a couple of low value cheques (Around £6 Each) each week, the Paypal Transfer would be for about £500 a week, Would they notice it or would something trigger it off and would they close the account ?.
Thanks.

Don't see that you should have a problem. Paypal/Ebay are not bothered if you have a basic account or business account. Why not ask if you can convert one of the basic accounts to a business tariff, but with a level of turnover that you mention above, I don't think I would worry.
Good luck!Don't lie, thieve, cheat or steal. The Government do not like the competition.
