Paypal question adding an extra email address

needtoknow_4 · 4 October 2007 at 12:55AM

Hi there,

I have a paypal account and my daughter wants to use it as well which is fine by me. If we add her email address (I understand that I can have an additional 7) and she does any tranactions like buying or selling will the other party that she is dealing with be able to see my details like my name address etc or will they just be seinding money to a paypal address?

The reason Im letting her add her name to my paypal is she doesn't have an account of her own (only 15 and it will be me who is logging into paypal not her) so I am doing her this favour.

Hope someone is able to answer this ...though to be honest when I login to my paypal after I have bought something on ebay I can see the name of the person I did the transaction with so I take it the answer to my question is "they will see my details"

thanks

is this via ebay or just via an email address?

If your daughter buys an item it would come to your confirmed paypal address. You could change it but another address would not be confirmed so you may have problems with some sellers. If she sells an item it would effectively be you selling it as it is your paypa/ebay account. She can not have an ebay account under 18. OP was a bit vague hope this helps.
