Can you have two paypal accounts?

    I have one business account in paypal that I use a lot, but need another one for smaller payments, maybe just a personal account.

    Can one have two accounts, and how do you do it? Like just go and register the second account with the same details?

    thanks

    You can have one personal account, and one premier/business account.

    At the same time, you cannot ask people to make some payments to your personal account if you already have a premier/business account.

    As posted above, all transactions (past, future and present) would be tagged on the service charges. Of course they can make your life difficult by limiting your accounts.

    Also, one additional note; you can't use the same financial accounts and information to verify and withdraw funds to with both accounts. Both the business account and the personal one must be linked to different accounts and financial information. Best of luck!

    The thing is I really need to..
    A company is basically another entity for that matter, so it's like having different accounts. Different company, address, email, financial info etc.

    Personal accounts probably can't accept cc payments etc.

    No, I don't. It is just that I am probably the few people who actually read all the terms and conditions from top to bottom before I sign up because I know that if I don't, it would come haunting me in time to come.

    Basically, everything I say about Paypal is there in plain slight at their website. All it takes is just a simple effort to read them.
