Received money on email not registered with Paypal
 

Ok this is the question:

I received money sent to an email that is not registered with Paypal. I now have a verified Paypal account (with a different email). Can I simply add that email to my Paypal account and receive the payments ( 5 payments of $18 each) without Paypal getting suspicious?

IIRC, you need to register a new paypal account under that email with unclaimed funds. Correct me if I'm wrong though

No - bit late for that move OP - either create the account to receive the funds or tell sender to cancel and resend to the proper pp.

I have misspelled the email on a sale before and got paid to unclaimed email. I then created the misspelled email address and added it to paypal. Instantly the funds were added to the account. I would assume this is no different. However, I contacted paypal and this is what the rep instructed me to do. Dunno if it makes a difference that I called them first.

Oh I see - guess I have learned something too - all linked up though for sure.

The good thing is you know that the money is not lost.

you can simply add that email to your paypal account and the funds will be avail.

You can do that but like another member stated, you will have to call PP to get the funds.

I set up several accounts on Paypal and Ebay, using various details.

To start with: I write out all my details on a spreadsheet using as many names, address and phone numbers as I can. Then I ensure there are no links to each account. It is much easier to see when you have all your details in front of you.

I have laods of bank accounts and my friends let me use their accounts. By doing this I can see how Ebay or Paypal could make a possible link between details, which is what they look for.

Sure they discover some and close them down, meanwhile I am busy opening more accounts. I have started using pre-paid credit cards and opening a deposit account on line is easy.

Oneday Ill run out of all the ways I can change my details but for now it works. I have also found that it does take a while for ebay and paypal to catch on to duplicated accounts even when using the same details!, meanwhile I have make my profit and transfer funds daily.

It may seem rediculous, but when your dealing with Paypal you got to play very dirty. They would have to be the most disgusting company on the planet.

I have also started using Gumtree and Graigslist, the sales are not bad considering there are no fees and I get at least 20% - 40% more for the item with no disputes or problems.

no you dont
