The beauty of the Santander basic account is the fact you have two cards with it and they have different account numbers on them, one for operating the account and one spending. I have successfully used these account numbers on two different paypals and can confirm there has been no problem receiving funds into them. It is like the Santander account has two halves to it.
I believe all the banks are now stating you can only have one basic account with them. I have four basic accounts with NatWest, though they were opened a few years ago now, all opened online. Times have changed and don't think it is possible these days.
