Hi there. Why would you want to have multiple paypal accounts? I don't think it's needed. If you want to have multiple email accounts in your paypal then you can just add an email there. Can you tell me your reasons on wanting to have multiple accounts? shadow41

If the payment is made using your secondary email then it will just show up in the transactions of your account that was named after you. So the important thing here is that one person should only have one paypal account. If you like to have different paypal addresses then just add up your email. Now if you want to link different bank accounts you can also add different bank account given that it's named after you. And you asked if you can also log in to paypal using your secondary id, my answer is yes. But you have to use the password of your primary email id. Now, even though you have different email addresses added to your paypal account, they will still be counted as one. So whatever happened to your 2nd email id will also happen to your primary id. Well these are only based on my experience before. I don't know whether it's changed or altered by now. shadow41

I couldn't help but notice you asked this question a short while before also asking about multiple mylot accounts in the same household. Now, I am not going to just kump to conclusions and acuse you of trying to start multiple mylot accounts for yourself, but I will remind you that this is forbidden and the administration here seems to catch on this type of thing pretty quickly. As far as paypal goes, you can have one personal account and one business account, whcih I THINk can be linked to the same bank account, I think....don't take my word for it though, read through paypal's website to make sure before you do it.

You can only have one Paypal account verified with one bank account.You can have 2 Paypal accounts,but they would have to be verified with 2 different accounts.

Hey, I think that's ok to having a multiple account but what are your purpose to having it?

you can have have provided that you used different email address, paypal will not allow to use one bank account, credit/debit card to another paypal account if it is already linked to another paypal account, freezing means that paypal will put a restriction or limitation on your account for security reasons or it might be that your account was accessed using different IP address

I had multiple PayPal accounts but had troubles in the past(may be my fault). But you should keep in mind that you should not login without deleting you cookies of your browser, if your browser have cookies of session related to other account. My PayPal account was limited due to third party(I signed in without deleting cookies) access. Though I was able to resolve it but I don't think that you are willing to go through it.

We can have two accounts in our name (personal and business accounts).There are no any limitation to have many accounts from the same computer or from the same IP address. But we can not link same bank accounts to many Paypal accounts as we need to give the name which should be same both in the bank account as well as in the paypal account.If our account activity is suspesious, then paypal is having rights to block all the transactions from our account and this is said to be the freezing of our account. Also if we have unverified Paypal account and our withdrawal exceeds certain limit(I think it is $500.00), then our account will be freezed till our account is verified.
