Hi there Jods1000,

It is possible for two people with seperate eBay accounts to be linked to the one PayPal account. The only thing that I will advise is that it may cause confusion if you are both selling items and receiving payments on the same PayPal account. Another thing is that a PayPal account can only be in one persons name. There is no facility of a joint PayPal account for customers at this time.

Here’s how to add your eBay User ID to your PayPal account:

1. Log in to your account.
2. Click ‘Profile’ near the top of the page.
3. Select ‘My selling preferences.’
4. Click ‘Add,’ beside ‘eBay ID.’
5. Enter your eBay User ID and password and click ‘Add.’

You may also need to update the PayPal information on your eBay account. I am not sure exactly how this is done but you can try to contact eBay for more information.

One final thing that I will advise is that if you both are selling items through eBay, both email addresses would need to be active and confirmed on the PayPal account in order to be able to receive the payments without any difficulties.

I hope this helps,

David.
