How many Paypal accounts are we allowed to have? I cannot find a difinitive answer to this simple question. I would ideally like to have three accounts so that I could keep personal/fun, business, and one for friends/charities seperate with a different credit/debit card and email addy linked to each one respectivily. Is this allowed? Thank you for your time.

You are allowed x2. BUT x1 has to be personal and the other x1 has to be premier / business.

 

All accounts need to have separate email addys and financial info attached.

Thank you for your response kernowlass I appreciate it. So there's absolutely no way to have THREE Paypal accounts? Has anybody ever manually requested a third account(not business) and been approved for it to your knowledge?

This is from paypals help pages.

 

Can I have more than one PayPal account? 

 

Yes. You can open one PayPal account for your personal use and if needed, you can also open a separate account for your business. However, your business account can’t use the same email address as your account for personal use.

 

As they state this I don't think they would change their mind for the odd customer.

you can have multiple email addresses for one PAYPAL account,one email address would be primary and the rest secondary.

so if you want to have fun,use one email address with one credit card,if charity use another email addr with another credit card,if business,use the primary with a third credit card.

But it is still one account.
