    I don't think you can have two separate personal paypal accounts, one of them would have to be a business account
    Strictly speaking, yes, and a business account is required to accept credit card funded paypal payments when you sell on ebay, so many people do have two. As has been alluded to above, people have found that they can hold more than one personal account without getting into any trouble.

    A couple can have two personal paypal accounts between them.

    So have you actually read this in Paypal's terms and conditions or are you simply engaging in idle speculation?


    Yes - the t&c don't allow it, but that doesn't necessarily mean you can't have two personal accounts if it's possible to get around them e.g. simply by using two different e-mail addresses - I haven't tried so couldn't say
