The short answer is yes. If you look in the help sections of the site, you will see that they allow users to have 2 accounts, one personal and one either premier or business. I was just looking into opening a personal account to go with my premier account and after doing some research at the site, I found out I could. I have not signed up yet but they say you can. Hope this helps.

I think you are pushing it there. I don't know the answer for sure, but if it were my business, I owuld not allow it and I am pretty sure that PayPal would not allow it. Plus they only have a referral program for merchants. So since you already have a premier account and you would be opening a personal account there really is no referral. I think I am correct about this, but if not, then I would gladly sign up for my second account under your referral if you signed up under mine. But since we both would be opening personal accounts, I think the referral thing is a no go.

Yes, you may have 2 accounts with paypal. I wrote and asked them that very question several years ago. I do not know if you need to have two email addresses but it would help to keep your accounts organized. You will need, however, two banking accounts or if you have only one you may allocate one paypal acct to use the checking while the other uses your savings.
