UK eBay & PaypalGeneral discussions about eBay.co.uk Suspensions and Paypal.co.uk limited accounts. This forum is geared towards UK eBay & Paypal sellers.
As oppose to mismatch info if you have a business account can you type your business name when you transfers funds from Paypal? That way it seems a lot less suspicious as a lot of people use their personal accounts for business like freelancers.

Let's say I sign up to a new Ebay business account and I call the business "Oneshop" I obviously have to put my details including first and last name. And I then open a Paypal account in same name as Ebay for example "John Smith" then when i go to Paypal to withdraw funds it gives you an option to change name, so as oppose to my name john smith can I put the business name instead "Oneshop" and withdraw to my personal account I have linked Paypal to?

Are you asking if you can withdraw and the name be a business name not the name on the PayPal account?
Business bank account works well - just keep in mind more fees from the bank
I have had a business account with Santander for nearly 5yrs and dont pay any fees. That's said, I get fined £30 each time I am overdrawn even by a penny. Not sure its same rule for personal accounts though.

James, the reason why I asked this is because I was thinking if your eBay Stealth has zero resemblance to your real name the bank may decline it. Whereas if it's a business name you could tell them you work as a freelancer or something and thats the trading name you go by

Seems like it is just over complicating things and fixing something that doesnt really need fixing?
