It is legal, but you will go to hell for this sin.

Yes it's legal but you can only have one personal and the other a business/premier...

No, it's not legal. If PayPal finds out they will send the police to arrest you.

You have a mixed review here.

The facts are you may have two PayPal accounts. One personal and business/premier. This is per PayPal's TOS.

There are not any legal implications at all. You can have as many accounts as you want and not break any laws that I am aware of.

But if you break the TOS you can have your funds seized and your accounts closed per the agreement you agreed to when you signed up.

I guess a basic understanding of sarcasm can't be expected on this forum.

I don't give a rat's ass about what PayPal says, it's not illegal and it will never be.

Was that clear enough for you?

It's really against TOS, I will close one of my account

No it is not illegal to have One Personal account and either one Premier or Business Account. You can do it. The TOS said it.

What are you talking about? It clearly states that you can have 1 personal and 1 business/premier.
