Can I use two different emails with the same paypal account simultaneously?? I have an ebay account all set up with my paypal already... Everything is fine there.. But I am helping my son to start up and we are wanting to use the same paypal account for receiving payments.. It wouldnt let us open his account using the same email address as mine.. so we had to use a different one.. Is it possible to have payments coming into my paypal account from two different email addresses at the same time??
Thanks in advance for your help..

Yes, you can. Go to your Paypal account page.....right about where is says: Welcome, "your name", look for the link that says PROFILE. When you put your mouse cursor on it, the very first drop down will say: Add or Edit Email. Click on it and add the other email address you would like to link to your paypal account. Not sure, but you probably have to verify the new email address....which is simple because all paypal will do is send a confirmation email to the newly added email address. Then you will have to click on the "verify new email address" link within that email and you should be good to go.
