One Paypal account, one bank account, multiple profiles

[kennerd]

I've had only one Paypal account for years but I have at least 3 different "realms" from where payments are received. I mean, I have ebay, with it's unique username; then Etsy, with a different username; and also an independent market for digital 3D creations, with a unique username as well. I have only one bank account, and do not wish to have more than one.

I would like the customers in each realm to see only my real name + username for that particular realm in invoices, packing slips, etc. 

Do I need a seperate Paypal account for each realm, or is is possible to have multiple profiles in one account? Multiple Paypal accounts are acceptable as long as it's ok to use the same bank account for all, I just want to go with the least complicated solution. I've looked through the Paypal account info for the possibility of multiple profiles but found nothing, just asking on the chance I may have overlooked it.

PayPal does have what is called a Parent / Child account, this allows you to have one master account and multiple child accounts. The master account would have the financial information on it (bank account and credit card), and the child account would be set up to receive money. The money would be swept into the master account each night and can be withdrawn to the bank account on file.  By setting up a Parent / Child account would allow you to keep your businesses funds separate.    You need to do is call PayPal directly and speak to the sales department to get it all set up.

That sounds exactly like what I need, I just wonder why it has to be set up with a phone call? I'll check into it, thanks!

It's an internal setting that can only be done by the PayPal reps.
