will the account be closed if I don't confirm my email?
 

I haven't used paypal for almost 2 years since my account was perma banned.
If I needed to buy something I'd get a family member to do it.

Today I probably did something stupid. At checkout, it gave the option to use my card but then I couldn't check out as a guest and prompted me to make an account. I was feeling particularly impatient at the time and couldn't be bothered to go through my family member. So I created the account to pay.
I planned on just closing the account or whatever later tbh.

I am sorta worried my relatives account will be affected by my decision though. Is there a chance they will be flagged? (we live in the same house) am I being paranoid?

When it comes to payment for goods PayPal does not care if you open a new account for purchase so your family members account should be OK, however if you try using PayPal for selling then you may endanger the other account.

Cool, thanks. I don't plan on selling with them again so that's a relief :')

Unlikely to be an issue as a one off especially if it was just used to buy items with nothing else :)

Do you think it would be risky to leave it open just for making payments every so often? Or is it not worth it

I dont see it being an issue. Just dont use it to make sales

Being paranoid is good. Most people are too lazy and reckless by choice.
