    I know we can open one personal and one business account as per TOS of paypal.

    I already have a personal account and now want to open a business account.

    The problem is with the PAN.

    I can't just sign up,because it says "You have entered a PAN number which already exists in our system. Please check your entry and enter again."

    I contacted paypal support,they told me i can open 2 accounts,but they couldn't help with how i can do so.

    Please help.

    what have you guys done?

    btw,i am from India.

    Thanks

    So based on their 2nd email there is no need to enter Pan Number in personal paypal account ? Ask them this question before upgrading to premier or business from personal.

    DON.

    Just use any PAN number, I've have upgraded my account like this only and it's not limited still. They can't track the PANs.

    Can't take that risk.
