Adding a Credit Card of a Family Member to Your Account

Since it takes a lot of time for paypal to reply to this question, I came here in hopes that maybe someone knows the answer

Are you allowed to add a Credit Card of a Family Member to you Paypal account ?

Unfortunately not - anything you link and confirm to your account must be in your name.   The exception would be a joint account card - as it would have your name, it could be used however, the other name on the card would not be able to link it to their account if it is already linked to yours.

I understand, is this written anywhere on the paypal rules cause I've been searching for it and didn't manage to find it, thank you for the answer !

Here's a snippet from the User Agreement found under the Restricted Activities section.   Note the line: using information that is not your own
