Attaching bank account to stealth paypal
 

Can I attach my real bank account to my stealth paypal? Is all they see is the sort code/account number but not the name & address?
Or is it worth to transfer funds from that paypal into another paypal thats not linked to eBay at all?
Whats the safest way guys? :-/

Transferring funds to another Paypal on a regular basis will get you linked, especially if there is no bank account attached to the sending account.

Yes, you can attach your bank account to a stealth Paypal. Add the bank account using the stealth name. Paypal can only see the sort code and account number and the majority of banks don't mind the mismatching name. Just remember never to purchase anything with the stealth paypal using the bank account as the funding source.

The safest way to withdraw from a UK Paypal account is to a bank account.

Paypal cannot see the name of the bank account holder (or credit card holder for that matter).
As long as you deal with a bank that has no problem with deposits being made from mismatching names youre good to go. You can search the forums for the several threads that discuss the few banks that are not safe (the majority are not a problem for stealth accounts).
