Can I use Paypal Normally?

[Cajun]

After I add my bank account to the account, that I just bought from here. Can I use it normally to send money to people and receive money from people / ebay? Ill be selling soon and was wondering if instead of withdrawing to bank that I could just send it out to one of my friends paypals. thanks.

Sending payments to friend is usually a recipe for disaster. To make things worse its not just your account that could run into trouble - its your friends' accounts that could get linked to yours and shut down in a domino effect should anything happen to your account. I wouldnt recommend it.
Keep things simple and safe and just withdraw to your bank account.

Avoid making thoser types of transfers to friends.

paypal sees them as flaky.

Because they are flaky.

why not try this...

create a website, purchase product from your site which you pay with your paypal account. Couple of pounds lost through fees but majority of £ in your main paypal account.

They would catch on pretty quickly if you tried this, I think. It may work a few times but this isn't sustainable.

@Cajun, just go to another bank and open an account. There's no way you have the maximum number of accounts at every USA bank. I recommend Bank of America, but there are several others recommended on here that allow mismatched paypal deposits. Just open a new bank account using all of your real info (lying to a bank is a big no-no), and you're good to go. It's that simple.

I've never used a VBA since as far as I'm aware, there aren't any you can use in USA to actually withdraw money. So VBA's are useless in USA.. but actual bank accounts are cheap and plentiful.

@Cajun, is there a reason why you can't get bank accounts in the USA? There are so many available..

Most likely reason is hush hush business...

Is hush hush a new word for foo foo?

OP must have a main aim of trying to use a paypal account in a way least likely to attract paypal problems.

Hopefully OP can address his/her issue of regular bank account creation...
