Hello everyone 🙂
I visited USA and did a workshop. I returned to my home country and was offered a freelance job from the workshop i attended. They asked me to setup a PayPal. I didn't know at the time that you have to be a US resident to set up a PayPal account. I visit the USA quite frequently and I thought I will setup an account and get paid minimally online and spend it when i visit the US again. I didn't return to the US after but my account was still active. Recently my brother (residing in the US) asked me if he can have my account if I am not using it anymore. I intended not to share it but actually give him my account for good. He made a transaction on walmart and the account got limitations to adding money. I know its stupid of me i should have just sent him the money. But if i am not using the account anymore and my brother is a US resident can he register it under his SSN and bank account? Even if the PayPal account is under my name? And most important, is that legal? I mean can you have any name on your Paypal other than your legal name? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

A paypal account is in one persons name only (unless you are a registered business) and you can't pass your paypal account to another person.
