Hi:
I currently already have a Paypal account (canada). Just wondering though, is it OK to sign up for another one? It would be nice to have two separate Paypal emails, or two identities for two sites.

Thanks,

There is a section called eligibility which covers it.

Do you know if you can use the same bank account for a personal and a premier/business account?

U can have more then 1 PayPal account but for each account u need different bank account and credit card. Thats what i have read in FAQ's on PayPal Help section.

I believe one person can only have one personal and one business account.

I spoke to them just 2 weeks ago and re-confirmed that it is only 1 personal and 1 business account you can have. You cannot use the same bank account, or credit cards in multiple accounts.

You can however add more than one email address to your account (up to eight), although I don't know whether this would change your "name" shown to customers.

Yups, you can have several e-mails.. but the name on the account will still be shown. If its a personal account, it will show your full name, if its a business account it will show your business name.
