| Obviously it needs to be someone you can trust.
My friend has had his ebay and paypal for 9 years and over that time when I've had various ebay and paypal accounts restricted for whatever reason I've transferred my paypal funds into his paypal and he then transfers it to my bank account ( one I cannot use on paypal).
Obviously it's not something that should be a permanent arrangement as it may draw attention to your friend but over the 9 years I've done it dozens of times.
While I was sorting out a replacement paypal account I even changed the paypal payment option on my listings to his account so all payments from my sales went to him.
We did agree at the time that it might be risky but nothing ever came of it.
So there's no reason for you to worry - just don't look at it as a long term solution. Once you have income or outgoings at a certain level Paypal will insist on a bank account anyway.
Just use common sense. Don't expect to send a regular gift payment to the same paypal account more than a couple of times if you don't have a bank account setup and not expect Paypal to get suspicious. |
