bank account for ebay/pp
 

hey guys i am not quite 18 yet and my ebay i was using got suspendd which means i need a new account and i need a new bank account, but as i am not yet 18 i can not set up more than one account.. i was just wondering whether my sister or someone could set one up for me to use.. ebay and pp wont know will they? thanks guys

The name on your bank account doesn't need to match that of your Paypal account so yes it is fine to use a bank account someone else has set up for you (if your sister doesn't have ebay/paypal it would also be a good solution to use all her details for ebay/paypal if she is willing to let you).

But there is no reason you can't set up another account of your own.... Just go into any bank and open an under 18s account.... Technically you are not supposed to have more than one student account (as in university students) but this would not apply.
