Having seen one or two comments about PayPal users and joint bank accounts I would like to relate my experiences. My wife has been a PayPal account holder for some while in connection with her use of Ebay. I recently decided to start using Ebay and was obliged to open a PayPay account. Oh what a nightmare lots of automated respones requesting that I register an account by use of a bank card and when I did It was invalid because the account was aready regsitered to my wife. I eventually spoke to PayPal but it was like platting treacle trying to get the person to understand the problem and offer a solution. What on earth is the problem ? surely there must be thousands of couples with their own debit cards on a joint account and both wishing to have a PayPal account. I can understand them flagging up an issue if people with no association to a specific account try to register it, but when it is an account in the names of the applicants what is the issue? Surely PayPal can accomodate this situation.
