Personal Paypal Permanently Limited - Can I Create Business One Now?

[Mag1x]

Hi guys,


Okay so its been around 2 years now since I got my personal paypal perma limited. I've written e-mails to them tons of times, called them around 10 times and nothing helps.


My problem is, I started my own business around 2 months ago, and 90%+ of my clients only use paypal, which makes me loose tons of customers.

I've been wondering if its possible for me to create a Business Paypal in a friends, or familys name, but in my own business name?


Does anyone know anything about this? Is it illegal? Sorry if thats a dumb question but I dont wanna get in trouble

Try to get on your own name as you allow one personal and one business account

If not then don't use family friends name just use random

I wouldn't use a friends name. Just go stealth completely. Sign up for an EIN number and make it under a business name.

Anyone else got any input on this? Multiple people suggested me to just open a business account, saying im allowed to have one personal, and one business.

But paypal wrote in the email I got when they limited my account, they said that they would no longer provide me with their service. So I guess thats not going to work?

Can you give us a copy of actual statement PayPal gave you so we can critique and advise?


Also, if you sign up for an EIN number, on the PayPal process, there still is a page that asks for the last 4 digits of your SSN.

Not sure how you get around that except to give that number correctly.
