EIN questions and risk with multiple Paypal accounts
 

Been doing lots of research. I am leaning towards a DBA with an EIN. I can only have one EIN. So when I provide this to Paypal to create a business account, I take it that's it! One account with it. Using multiple business names and accounts with the same EIN would link all of them and if one got into trouble, they all go down correct? What are others doing out there?

You can only have 1 ein per entity. You can have as many entities as ud like. I suggest talking to a tax professional and what angle u should go towards

I understand the legalities around only one EIN and the IRS. I am talking about PayPal for verification and such. I think the answer here maybe clear but wanted to know if others out there have used a single EIN to open multiple PayPal accounts under different business's? Have multiple businesses is legal of course and when you have one EIN they all get tied back to it in the eyes of the IRS.

You can not use one ein on more than one PayPal. Every account must have unique info
