Sub-accounts under one bank account...PP asks, "Which would you like to link?"
 

Two days ago, I went to link my bank account with a stealth Eby acct.

PP asked for the online username/password to the bank acct.

Went to my bank website to change the username and password (not sure that's necessary, but it seems wise not to tell PP the same username/password on two stealth accts).

Then I submitted to PP the username/pw, after which, PP asked,

"Which of the following 3 bank accounts would you like to link to PP?:

Acct #: ___ ____ ___ 1111
Acct #: ___ ____ ___ 2222
Acct #: ___ ____ ___ 3333"

(1111 = My first stealth acct, which has sold too much and now needs a SS#
2222 = My 2nd stealth acct, which is now doing excellent
3333 = The new bank account I just opened for this new stealth account)

It appears as if PP can see ALL my bank accounts!
Or, at best, PP has seen the last 4 numbers of all my bank accounts.

Does this mean that all accounts are now linked?
They are, at the moment, doing fine.

That is not PayPal. You logged into your account with a join login and all the accounts should be visible.

This has been discussed here before.

I would never login from paypal into the bank account... I would just do the trial deposits. As for them seeing it-- I dont know the technicals of it, but it seems as if they are linked

That happened to me once before. You should be fine. They dont really see the other accounts . Just the one you're selecting. Next time dont log in to your bank account, just have it send the small deposits . Takes 2 days .

I have no idea what, "That is not Paypal." means.
What is not Paypal?
I also have no idea what "join login" means.

I was on the Paypal website.
Paypal asked me to update my bank account.
From within PP's website, I entered the username/pw
to my online bank (since I had already been on that same PP page and entered John Doe/123456, I changed the username and pw to my online bank to Marla Meadows/654321...so as to match the stealth Ebay acct).

When I had done that, within the Payp@l.com website,
PP asked me which of the following accounts I'd like to link.
And PP displayed the last 4 digits of each of my bank accounts.

Possibly, PP can only see the last 4 digits of each bank account.
Or, possibly, PP can see the entire acct # of all the accounts,
and just puts X's in place of the numbers for the sake of my online privacy.

"This has been discussed here before." That had occurred to me (since I'm not a retard :nerd:). I searched for the issue, and I'd be open to suggestions regarding search terms that would direct me to this specific issue.
The search terms I used just showed me pages and pages of general threads about Paypal and linking and bank accounts.

yeah. don't do that. use the routing and account numbers to attach your bank, verify the micro deposits

its not a brain buster! :doh:

If you log into a bank account with one account, in PayPal, you will only see that account.

If you log into a bank account with more than one account, in PayPal, you will see them all.

PayPal has no control over the information the bank show after you login. PayPal does not keep that information either.

I hope this makes my point as clear as glass.
