Ok then. According to the stealth guide, it was ok to open a bank account in your own name because paypal/ebay can't see the name on the account when verifying etc. So, how do you get your money from paypal if the bank account is in your name but the stealth account is in a different name???? Paypal debit cards don't come until you've been on for two months. In my case, it's a totally different name from what is registered. Are there any banks that DON'T have this stringent rule?????

Capital One, Wachovia and ING Direct are known banks that require matching names, nicknames, or similar names when money comes in your account.

It's a bank issue, they send a notice to PayPal that names don't match and then PayPal limits your account because according to their user agreement they can limit you if, 'Name on the bank account associated with the PayPal account does not match the name on the PayPal account', and again PayPal only knows if names missmatch IF the attached bank tells PayPal. Only a few banks do this.
Next time open a PayPal account with either the exact name thats with your bank account, or a nickname, similar name.
Example.. Robbert Thorton is on your bank account.. you can open a PayPal account with Bobby Thorton or Bob Thorton, or a misspelling of the name slightly. These don't throw up red flags with banks. It's only when money comes in with a completly different name.
Get it?
Or just use a different bank. I probably could have just said that instead.  |  |
