Weird question about paypal?

9 replies
I'm testing this app and I was wondering if it is possible
to have 3 or 4 paypal accounts?

I don't see anywhere on their site that says you can't
but just thought I'll ask anyway...

    You should register to Paypal's sandbox for testing purposes.

    I think you can have a maximum of two accounts. One biz/premier account and one personal.

      This is correct. PayPal allows one personal account and one premier or business account.

      2.2 Personal, Premier and Business Accounts. We offer three different types of Accounts: Personal, Premier and Business Accounts. You may only hold one Personal Account and either one Premier or one Business Account.

    David,

    You set Sandbox accounts up just like a live one. They have a one step preconfigured account to use. Use it to create a buyer and seller account. Make both of them Premier for ease of use and you are ready to go.

    If you have trouble, I will help.

    Thanks,

    John

    Yes, and no

    You can have as many business accounts as you have businesses that have their own Tax ID # (EIN) AND separate checking / Credit card accounts.

    Mixing them is where the problem is.

    Separate businesses are no problem

    Yes I agree with Mark about having as many paypal accounts as u can corresponding to separate bank accounts and Tax id or EIN associated with the accounts.

    Of course you can have only 1 personal account for the same reason.

    Yes paypal sandbox is the best way to use ot for your testing needs.

    Paypal have a lots of stuff about sandox on their site.
