    I'm from Egypt and actually Paypal is not supported here so I can't have a Paypal account and that's like a nightmare for me.

    I was wondering if my friend (who is from India) can create a new paypal account (other than his own one) and provide it with his cc and then I can use it and make my online clients send money to it.

    will Paypal ban such an account? will it detect ips login to this account?

    Its 100% risky. Better you go with other payment processors such as MB,Alertpay,2CO,ePassporte etc. IMO.

    I am surprised that a friend is allowing you to use a paypal account with his own CC linked as well! :confused:

    Even if the account remains operative, how do you intend to withdraw the money? as you would be able to withdraw the money only in your friend's bank account and not yours!

    No doubt, the method is little bit risky but if the operation of the account is going to remain only under your control and not the two of you simultaneously, you probably would get away, using it! :eek:

    i don`t think it will be a problem as long as your friend is accepting the payments...

    illegal purposes? what the heck !, me and my friend are freelance graphic designers working online and I'm really trying to figure out a way to make receiving my online money easier.
    I know that sending money from western union in India is not possible and I discussed that with my friend but we can use any alternative money transfer company..
