[thejollyplanet]

hi i have a italy ebay account where i sell my items, all is ok till now, but i also have a business in hk where i have a company. can i use the paypal hk account for receive payments from italian ebay account? there's something wrong doing this?

Where are you based? Are you in Italy or hk?

[thejollyplanet]

im based in italy

So why not open an Italian paypal account?
If you use one located in hk how do you intend to withdraw the funds?

i cant get money from italian paypal account to my bank italian account cause name is not same

i have a hk company and registering a hk paypal i can withdraw money to my bank account registered at my company name (in hk or usa bank account)

Many users possible will say that it is risky...on my situation I successfully use two sets of accounts for 4 years in this way - Canadian eBay + Europe Paypal and USA eBay + UK Paypal. of course, usually things- as IP, different user accounts..etc must to be used.

I can see why because of potential weird activity going on but if Ultimate is having success, might as well try? Or give pp/eb a ring and ask if you are unsure.

BUT you can have an hk eb account and THEN go ahead and sell on italy eb website...this is doable.

Has your Italian bank account declined such a transfer?

the problem is YOU if you do not think carefully.

Both ebay/paypal have rules that they apply.

If you want to do business you need to make sure you put everything together correctly. Otherwise you have troubles.

Have you had an ebay account B4? What category will you sell?

before i had a ebay account at my name and for some reason 6 years ago i got banned.
now i have my activity with my partner but him dont have so much time for help me, so you can understand ebay and paypal is registered to his name.

but i have a company in hk and i can register a hk paypal account and then transfer funds from paypal hk account to my US or HK bank company.

p.s. remember that my ebay is registered in italy
