Trying to link two Ebay Accounts into one bank account with Paypal

[cohbie]

PLEASE HELP!!!! I have decided to sell some things on EBay that are different from what I usually sell. I decided to make another account on Ebay in order to do so. Paypal keeps telling me that I can't use my bank account to set up the new PP account because I already have that bank info on file with my other account. I just want to link the two accounts, is this possible before I lose my mind this morning?

Thanks!

You are only able to link one bank account to one PayPal account. You will have to open another bank account in order to use your second account.

Hello cohbie,

Welcome to the Forums. 

That is correct you can not add your bank account to more than one PayPal account. Here are a couple options that may work for you. You can add your eBay user id to your PayPal account and use the same PayPal account for both eBay accounts (unless this is what you where trying to avoid and that is why you opened a new PayPal account) or you can open what is called a Parent/Child account. The Parent/Child works like having two PayPal accounts but only requires one bank account. You can set it up on eBay to go into the separate accounts and at the end of the day the money will sweep into one main bank account. If this sounds like this would work for you, you can call PayPal and speak to the Sales dept. and they can get it set up for you.
