    Paypal charge 1% extra for cross-border payments. My 1st question is

    how they treat this with EU. If I have a paypal UK account(dealing multiple currencies british pound and euro, and someone from DE purchase an item, will there be the 1% cross-border charges.

    My 2nd question is: Is it legal/allowed to operate multiple paypal accounts 1 for each region (mainly US, Canada, Australia and EU) to eliminate the cross-border charges.

    1st I know the domestic payments and cross-border payments, I am asking about EU. If I have paypal account created from any EU country, and someone from another EU country purchase anything, will there be cross-border charges. I know they are different countries but they use the same currency.

    2ndly, operating different accounts for each region, never meant multiple accounts for/by same person in different countries, I mean multiple accounts by different people for same organization.

    You cannot use CROSS BORDER or MULTIPLE paypal accounts, only 2 per person. 1 premiere, 1 personal. If you want more info on getting some PP accounts that are STEALTH in the US/CA, PM ME.

    yes I know that only 2 accounts per person are allowed, but I was thinking registering multiple business IDs according to the region
