Not if you are wise.

You do not want to risk your friend's paypal being (already) flagged & you both end up being limited.

A lot of overseas sellers do these transfers, gift payments. Then come here crying when they got limited.

paypal likes variety of transactions... always keep that in mind.

Stealth allows you to have your own pp accounts - don't need to burn/use friend's.

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.

Yes it does carlisle, and longer for the pin code to arrive, but that is only for real visa debit cards, which you won't want to use on a stealth account because it will fail the avs check. You need to get and use VCC the details for which you wil get instantly, you never of course get the actual card as these are virtual cards, you just get the card number, expiry, and the last digits on the back of the card.
