    I have a personal account that I use for personal stuff, this account is used to deposit money into my real world bank account.

    I have 2 business accounts that I use for 2 totally separate businesses. I transfer the money from these accounts, to my personal PayPal account when I want to withdraw it.

    I want to open Business 3. I do NOT want the customer to see any signs of Business 1 or Business 2 when purchasing from Business 3.

    Do I just get a new business account for Business 3?

    No you can't.
    Iam surprised that you have 2 business account and 1 Personal account.
    Paypal allows only 2 accounts as per their terms of service i.e. 1 personal and 1 premier/business.
    I think they didn't noted till now , but when they will note , your account can face proiblems like limitation or termination.

    I should have read a bit more before I made the thread. I'm going to delete my second business account right now!

    I've upgraded my personal account to a business account, and will simply have to use a global business name for all 3 businesses. It's not ideal, but it will do.

    You will delete ur second business account & upgrade ur personal account to a business account
    Then you still have 2 business account?
    It's not allowed..You only can have 1 business account..

    I've closed my other 2 business accounts :)

    I've only got ONE account now (a business account), with all 3 businesses added to it.
    My global business name appears at the top of the PayPal page, which I'm not happy about - but I guess that's the way it has to be.

    Were you serious, all these while? :eek:

    And I thought these were pretty basics for a PRO... like YOU! :confused:

    I still feel you are up to something tricky and funny here...as usual :eek:
    (Pardon me..if it really is otherwise...)

    Yep, I was serious. I'm not a big fan of using PayPal to receive money, and I've never really sat down and read their TOS seriously (or this section of the forum). I'm glad I finally got around to it.

    Nothing tricky or funny, I leave all that in GC ;)
