eBay and PayPal confusion

[Craigps2]

Hi I got the guide and it is very good
Just have a few questions

1 when you sign up to ebay n PayPal with a relatives name and you need to added a bank account can you use the bank account in a diffrent name ..as in my name ??

2 what is a pre paid card and what is it used for? As I dint need one before suspension why is it needed? By the way I'm in the uk ?

It is highly AGAINST using a family/friends name for this type of thing.
Can cause a lot of heartache down the road.

[Craigps2]

In the guide it says it highly recommends useing it ?? Now I'm confused

[Craigps2]

Can we stick to the questions I asked as we are going a bit off subject

Yes, you can, just make sure you use the banks that are listed in the guide.

Another trick is to create a business DBA account for your bank and match that with the stealth's business name.

Ok thanks will bear that in mind
What about pre paid cards? What are they and what they for ?

You don't need to set up business bank accounts for starters.

Paypal cannot see the real name on the bank account and the majority of UK banks allow the mismatching name.

As for prepaid card, it confirms the address on Paypal. It also can be used as a funding source ie to pay ebay fees or to buy stuff.

As above though, it is not a good idea to use friends / relatives info.

So what is the best thing to do as the guide says that's the best way ?

A random name at an address you have access to.

That's correct you would need to do that. The issue is easily overcome though.

How would you over come that?
