Adding an existing Paypal Account to EBAY ACCOUNT UNDER DIFFERENT USER NAME
 

Hello

Has anyone added an existing Paypal Account to a totally different existing ebay account (in another persons name) and had no problem? Ebay account in my dads name - he has a ebayshop, currently he is using his own personal paypal account. I am taking over and wanted to add my own paypal account in my name - I want to upgrade my paypal to business account for tax reasons and thought best to upgrade my own paypal account which I use occassionally selling my own items on ebay and tag it to my dads existing ebay shop as I am going to be taking over running it and better for accountant. Risky? I also want to change address on ebay shop to mine? will this raise suspicions? How else can I safely do this so accountant can do my accounts in my name?
:doh:

No this will eventually end in tears. Once the PayPal has been burnt it is an issue. What CAN work is by setting up a new business PayPal under a new business name and changing the business name on the current eBay.... nominee directors can work well especially when setting up a new company.

Hi Callidus

Thanks - So if I just upgrade my Dads Paypal to Business I can tag the new business bank account and amend the name on the paypal nominee to me? Would that work? otherwise I am worried the accountant might say I cannot use my dads account for the income yet declare it in my name?
