I have collected a few set of most common questions which are often asked and are answered by most members in DP without any hesitation. I've pendown the most common questiosn that i thought every new joiner would like to have an answer. Q.1 Can i have a premier and personal account ? Ans : Yes you can have one personal and one premier/business account. However both must have a unique email, bank account and credit card added. This means that the credit card used by you to verify the personal account cannot be used to verrify your premier/business account.

Wow....good set of info, It would be nice if this becomes a sticky, so people won't have to ask the same questions again and again.
Thanks! I hope this is made sticky. Not that there questions will go unanswered but this will atleast stop them hunting for information. We can make this one thread good enough for all common paypal accounts related information/questions.
How about Paypal not available on some country. I ve heard it paypal is not yet available on some countries, just like here in Philippines?
Yes, Paypal is only available in 103 countries. If it is not available to you then do not use it at all. They can and will terminate you if you provide inaccurate information or access their system through a non-approved country IP or proxy.

Thanks! We can add more to it. I got it all from paypal website which we all never look at or are lazy enough to sit and search ourselves. Do add more to this and lets avoid people asking the same questions repeatdly again and again.
I'm glad i did not signed up with paypal, coz ive learned it is no yet available here in the philippines.. When will it be available here? Any information? I checked out the paypal.com but I can find info. there.
I think It's available in Pilippines. check the country then you will see Philippines. You can register though and transfer money but you can't recieve money. Correct me if I'm wrong.
For Philippines..We are working on a system where you can receive any Paypal account due for you here in the Philippines via Western Union..This is a service set up for Filipino only,its work in progress and just keep you posted guys...
i'm live in china,bu i have reged a us paypal account,one of my friend live in us help me to veverty my us paypal .now i could login my us paypal within proxy,but i think it's not siutble for the unvailable country
My friend wants to attached with someone's paypal in order for him to have a transaction. Anyone could help?
I am sure you are aware that using Proxy to access Paypal is against Paypal's TOS. http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/ua/USUA-outside
What do you mean ? Do you mean that your friend wants to make use of someone's else paypal account and get your friend's customers to pay someone's else instead of your friend. This is not really advisable because the other party can screw you over and you cannot do anything about it. If your friend cannot use Paypal then have him find some other legal means to complete the transaction.
