Default Business paypal account

Hi,

I have opened a business account, and paypal asked me to provide company name and registration number. I can provide them with no problem, because i did not use them before, it is new registered company.

My question is will they know the name directory or people who registered the company? in that case, my name will be linked to the old account.

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Best wishes,
Emily

I would be careful and not use a company with your name and address linked to ebay or paypal

What are you suggesting steve? Setting up a company in something else than real name (nothing to do with PP)? That's not recommended

this is the problem with a business account.

Names can be found out and a link made.

You have to be careful about business account operations

Agreed. I personally prefer to use premier paypal accounts for business purposes.

Here is the update:

I told paypal i donot have company number and VAT number. However they donnot review the documents i submitted until i added the paypal to my ebay. In the second day, the paypal was limited, and I cannot appeal the desicion.

I submitted real documents. Every times i called them, i hide my home number, new IP address, everything is new, and i cannot see any reason they put a limit to my account.

They refused to tell why they limited my paypal account. Both paypal and me are getting mad in different way.

You cannot open a business paypal and tell them you do not have a company number - that right there is what flagged you up

I have a Paypal business account and dont have a company number as I am self employed. You only need a company number if you have registered a limited company. Many self employed people in the UK never register as a company or earn enough to have to register for VAT.

I wonder how many self employed market stall sellers have a "company number".

I just opened a business account with Santander. On the online application form they wanted a "company number" so I called the help line and simply gave them my tax number.

One would expect a bank to know better.

Paypal has a sole trader account - that is what you should have opted for from the start. Or even a premier account

A business account is for ltd companies

I got paypal account under stealth name and real LTD company details inc. my real name as a director and never had any problems.
In regards to business account. You can open it even if you are self employed too. I remember at some point it gives you an option to choose if you are a ltd or self employed.
