2 Paypal Accounts - 1 business 1 premier??

    Hello Everyone.

    I currently have 2 Ebay accounts which run totally different business'. I had been running 1 through my premier paypal account which had my SS registered and my other was also a premier account w/o a SS. I did not notice that this was not allowed by paypal. I have been running both business' like this for over 2 years without a problem.

    Paypal recently asked that I add a social to the premier that was not registered to one. Is there anything I can do to resolve this? Both business' are taxed as separate entities which is why I need to keep their financial s separate.

    I was thinking of having 1 be a business account and 1 be a premier account. Would this be possible? I've read that you can only have 1 but do they make exceptions? Both accounts are platinum powersellers if that helps at all with paypal.

    Let me know what you guys think>


    Thanks

    Ed

    No, it is not possible. Paypal specificially mentioned that you can only have 1 Personal + 1 Premier or Business account and not 1 Premier + 1 Business accounts.

    I doubt they would make an exception but it would be best if you call Paypal up directly.

    You don't have a business partner that could one of the account to his name? Or maybe a family member?

    Because like eddy said you can only have one Personal + one Business or Premier.

    ok.

    So my best bet would be to contact them and see if I can change one of my premier accounts to a business account using a board member of my corp? Has anyone tried this with success?

    Thanks

    I'd recommend you to transfer the premier account to any of your family member as it is not allowed.

    Be aware.
    if paypal smells this they will limit your account,and if you paypal accounts is linked to your eBay,eBay will get spoiled too and u wont be able to list.
    Take care of this.

    Why aren't you using your business' EIN instead of your personal SSN?
