no limit, but use common sense, I ve seen people with 20-50 on the forum or so they say, that is a bit extreme. 5-10 is perfectly ok though depending on your credit.

I only have 1 but will make more soon, can you have 2 accounts for a bank as I am with Barclays and thinking of opening another soon, will they ask any questions.

at least 15 banks accounts between 6 different banks. Most banks will allow you to open online savings accounts which work fine for paypal.

i didnt think savings accounts worked ? i see alot of posts about them not working but you say there ok for you then

i only want about 10 at the max i just thought they had to be current accounts or is it any with a direct debit

Try natwest you can have upto 3 current accounts with them, also see if friends or family will open accounts for you, I have 9 but only 3 in my name, and not all in use, just remember until you start to use them keep the bank happy by depositing amounts in every month, I have a couple of grand that travels around these unused accounts every month, this way the bank sees that its used, i hope this is of some help to you

yer that does help thank you pal

another little problem ive got is ive got alot of stock that i want to sell but im just worryed about the paypal recieve/withdraw limits :( ive got 3 items on ebay at the mo i just dont wanna risk listing more , my stealth is a month old 2mow

[whatnow]

im in the same problem but from what ive learnt on here and from the book slowly slowly is the way, maybe while your waiting for this account to mature a little you can work on new ones, but im sure ppl on here can give you better advise on this than me

[ebayerOG]

i dont mind going slow all i need to do is sell a few items a week say 2-4 items per ebay account surely thats not too much is it.each item is £50

[whatnow]

from what ive read on here with a 2 month old account no that should be fine although others on here will know better about that than me, was it ebay or paypal you had a problem with ?
