BOA Bank Account Question
 

Hey Everyone,

Couple of quick questions for you all. I currently have two BOA accounts (1 Checking + 1 Savings). I have already burned the BOA Checking account by using it for a PayPal account that got limited.

Funds are pretty tight right now due to this whole eBay mess, so I'm hoping to get back up and selling slowly for as cheaply as possible.

Is it okay/will it work to use my BOA savings account when I sign up for PayPal? Obviously it's the same name, same routing number, but DIFFERENT account number. Just want to make sure this will be okay and that savings accounts work for eBay?

Any issues currently with BOA accepting PayPal deposits in other people's names? I obviously can't use my real name on PayPal currently :(

I have dont it plenty of times, and still doin it, I only had a problem once, i had like 3 diff ebay accounts and was making a ton of money, but i guess they shut the account down cause i was using mu sis boa debit in another city and that caused them to look into it!

BOA will accept Paypal payments from your stealth accounts.
The names the deposits arrive in at BOA does not matter to BOA.

as said above, the name on the stealth account does not matter to boa. another thing you could do that is a quite simple process, if you needed to open up more accounts, is go in person to boa, and open up various businesses accounts. they will usually just say ok and let you open up literally as many as you want sometimes no questions asked. usually they want to know what you do however. but they want your business and are happy to open all the accounts for you because then they get to charge you small monthly fees on each account, or a flat rate fee. however if you need different accounts, its a good alternative. because if their entirely seperate accounts, you can use them for different pp accounts for linking and transfers. i once opened up 100 sperate accounts in one sitting with them.
