Paypal in two Countries?

[viceb]

Curious, if anyone has been able to use two Paypal accounts in different countries?

I have had a US Paypal account for ten years, but am currently living in Europe.

US Paypal is handy for various reasons, but I would like to get a confirmed European Paypal account in order to receive shipments here.

Theoretically, it should not matter to Paypal if one Joe Sixpack in USA and one Joe Sixpack in UK have accounts, since every other piece of information(banking, address, etc) would be be different.

However, since my name is distinctive, even casual investigation would see that I am breaking Paypal policy...

Alternatives would be to set up a corporate account in Europe, or have it in girlfriends name, but those are not hassle-free options either.

Doable and possible.

Requirements for a European paypal are easier than the USA. You can do it without a bank account & just use a CC

As for the name, say it is John Sixpack, then Jon Syxpak is a different name

Completely possible - I have paypals in several countries, most are in different details form each other.
