Using friend's banned name
 

I've tried to find the answers by searching, but I didn't manage to. I have USA based business paypal account and linked ebay account with 900+ feedback.

Until now, I was forced to withdraw the funds by transferring to my legit account which is the worst way I know, but it was the only one too, because unfortunately I'm not in USA, so I can't open a bank account myself.

I asked one of my good friend's to open a bank account for me to which I will be able to withdraw the funds, but before he does that, I came here to ask people who are much more experienced. My concern is that he has been banned on paypal a couple of months ago (it was his legit account, so his real name) so I don't know will paypal be able to see a name of bank account and ban mine account?

Basically, I would ask him to open a bank account in BoA or TD bank (although I see that some people have issues with this bank) and I would link it to my account which is on different name of course, so he would receive the payments from mismatched name paypal account. Should this scenario work? I'm not like many users here to have a lot of accounts, this is my only one with ebay, so I really want to keep it.

No, PayPal cannot see the name associated with the Bank Account.

Yes, this scenario should work fine, hope your going to share some of that money with this friend......

Thank you for a really fast reply. Yes, of course. He is my friend and I know to value a favor.

I have two more questions. Is there a scenario when paypal could obtain his name either from a bank or somehow, because I guess that would be auto-ban of my account?

And can you recommend me some bank other than BoA? I'm not from USA like I said, so beside searching on google USA based banks, I can't check much.

Wells Fargo, Chase, U.S. Bank....there also might be some more but u can search the forum.

I searched and found that Chase isn't so good for mismatched names recently.

Re: Using friend's banned name
 

I would question that claim. Most likely user more than miss matched names.

Re: Using friend's banned name
 

Could be, I mean that's even better then. More options for my friend where to open the account.

Re: Using friend's banned name
 

Says who? I've been using chase on 3 accounts without issues......

Where did you search?

BoA and TD work well for stealth - confirmed

Re: Using friend's banned name
 

It was recently posted that Chase closed a slew of bank accounts for a memeber. It most likely had more to do with the members use than mismatched names.

Re: Using friend's banned name
 

Not sure who the member was that had Chase their bank accounts but I've been using Chase for a solid 3 years straight.

Re: Using friend's banned name
 

From the google searches it does not seem these closers aren't "Stealth" related directly.

Re: Using friend's banned name
 

I have Chase attached to a few of my stealths. I have never had an issue from the bank nor paypal. The person that reported the issue may have left some important embarrassing details out!

Re: Using friend's banned name
 

I have 4 Wells Fargo accounts and have never had an issue.

As user yankee already linked, this is the thread: http://www.aspkin.com/forums/624026-post13.html, but as the others said, user who wrote that post probably left some information out.
