Credit Card on 2 Accounts

I always understood that a credit card could not be added to 2 accounts yet my DD has managed to add my card which is on my paypal account to her paypal account and use it to buy stuff - how has this happened?  I thought I was being clever adding my card to my account thus  making sure she couldn't do this but now find it's on her account as well.

Hello hackettblue,

I was curious and checked PayPals FAQs for you because I was under the same impression as well.

Turns out only the US FAQ mentions being able to enter CC in only 1 acc ( "A card can only be linked to one PayPal account at a time." ).

The UK FAQ on the other hand says you are able to enter you CC into 2 accs ( "Your card has previously been added to 2 different PayPal accounts." ).

Either way, call them up and make them delete the CC from the 2nd acc.

 

Best regards,

Face
