Anyone have BOTH business AND personal paypal accounts?

[tekz999]

I want to get myself a new personal account other than the current business account I have. So there I go, reading the paypal help page, and found this:

Q: Can I have a PayPal Personal and a Premier/Business Account?
A: PayPal allows members to have one Personal account and one Premier or Business account. However, each account must contain an unique email address, bank account and credit card.


Does that mean I need to have a different email, different bank account number, and different credit card number for personal account? OR just the email needs to be different, with bank account and credit card number be the same as my business account?

I have both types of account and have a different email, bank account and credit card for both, so I think the answer is yes you do need all that separate, but then my business cards have business names on them, so they are completely different to my personal anywhy..

Yes you are required to have a unique email address/bank account/credit card filed for your personal account. Paypal does not permit you use the same bank account/credit card details in multiple accounts.

The only essential requirements are a different email address and bank account so you can send/receive payments, and withdraw funds to your bank account. The drawback with personal accounts is that you can't receive credit card funded payments.

You can send money for free from your business account to your personal account and only withdraw from the personal
That way you won't need a bank account in your business account , (unless you need to fund it)
