Making A new Paypal Account
 

Ok so i am looking to create a new paypal account, i have a friend which will allow me to use, all of their personal information such as name and address etc. As if required i would like to provide paypal with photo id etc of my friend, which he would allow me to do, but the problem i have is adding a bank account as i want to verify my account using my new bank account but you have to input your first and last name which would be different from my friends, would i need to create a pre-paid card with his name on it to do this, i'm a bit confused with how these pre-paid cards work, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Try to avoid using a friend's details.

It's not good:deadhorse::deadhorse:.

Can you explain why, as i just read the stealth guide and it said the option I should use if available is a family members/ friends details.

I knew you were going to come back and say that.

Guide was written quite some time back.

The forum has updated users as to the merits or lack there of of using someone else's info. Trend is to avoid your method

I usually say friends and business do not mix.

That has been proven time & time again.

Re-read what you wrote and consider the consequences.

What happens to your nicely established account when the deal goes sour?

Please please PLEASE think of that :pout:

So you would suggest i go for the second option and use my nickname and attempt to avoid getting my paypal account under review? Is it common for paypal to ask for things like driving license etc.

Yes it is common IF YOU DO NOT OPERATE WELL.

Use your nickname and have documents ready to match in case you do go under review.

Never use friends or family member to make accounts, first try changing your name a bit and the same with address to see if you can at least run it under your own name. The road your taking leads to dead ends, did you ever add to much personal information to Paypal?

why not just change your name but a few letters?so much easier:thumb:

This is the second thread you started on the same topic but asked a different way.

It is not hard to do your own.

Are you looking for an easy way out?

Your other thread you asked about the DL. Tells me you are NOT spending time reading the forum.

DO NOT USE FRIENDS.

I made a paypal account in 2008 on friends name. Was paying him $500 per month for this.

Then my account was limited and shut down . I couldnt refund customer and he went on some random forum and called me scammer (obviously he was really saying it about my friend, because I used his name)

Now whenever you would google my friends name , you would get as first result this thread calling him scammer.

NOT GOOD for our friendship.

Luckily I was in online reputation business and had to do some link building for other results in order to push it to second page.

Moral of the story, dont do it!!

Sad to hear about your friend's info.

jfrase thankyou for letting people know of the grave circumstances that you could be put in.

I think this song is in order:
