What do you mean your paypal account is in default? You can simply create a new paypal account using the same info even if it's suspended. The problem is only when you try to sell with your suspended info, not BUY.

I think what he means by "Default" is that he owes Money to Paypal, Maybe for Ebay fee's or refunds, something like that, if that is the case if you make a New Account with the same info then Paypal will go after that account as well for their fee's.

I just created a buying account myself so there shouldn't be any problems with that account if I am not using it to sell?
I'm just using it to pay for items on my Ebay account.
Can I still accept money on a regular account, like as a gift, etc or will that flag the account?
Should I confirm my new bank account on there just for paying for items? I need to keep a PP account open to pay for my stuff.
Thanks in advance

forget your old one - creating a buying account and a paypal linked to it, is really easy, takes a minute, just add a card for funding. Just switch your address a bit, but so a package will get there eg 134 becomes 134B, maybe put a variation of your own name, and you can buy without probs, if its just a buying account a banned address does not matter much.
