Split Payments

[defaydesigns]

Hello,

I am one-half of a two person team to make products sellable online. If we use paypal to get paid, is there a way for us to split the profits between two different cards. Like 50/50 of a transactions goes into two separate bank accounts. We're not a buiness. We're just two freelancers who end up working together at different times.

The bank account that's linked and cofirmed has to have the same name as the PayPal account holder.  The system has certain security protocols and if you tried to link someone else's account to yours, the system security would flag the action, it's basically fraud protection for you.

I understand that. I guess what I'm asking is, is there anyway, whatsoever, to pay multiple people from one PayPal account?

Can a payment be made to two separate PayPal accounts for services? Or is there no way to make that possible, at all?

no,one payment to one Paypal account,however you two can send him 2 invoices from 2 paypal accounts,50% on one invoice and 50% on the other,not only would it confuse the customer,it is **bleep** unprofessional.

We're not providing services to any individual person. We're selling products online through RedBubble.

you said services,not me.

anyway,if you are selling service or product,and you want the buyer to make 2 payments,like john get 50% and billie get 50%,you would have to give him 2 Paypal email addresses so he can make 2 payments.

but he will lose his buyer protection when he does that.

or you can send him a money request for 50% of the invoice and your partner sent 50% .

why cant you just let the buyer pay 100% to one Paypal account and the two of you figure how to divvy up the $$.

I sure would not do business with you two,if something goes wrong,do I file 2 disputes for say one item?

You're not understanding what I mean by "products sellable online."

RedBubble is sort of like E-Bay for designers. There is no single individual buying anything. There is no invoice. In my second comment, I was trying to make the question as simple as possible.

RedBubbles allows other people to buy products designed by artists and the only way to get paid is through a PayPal account. My design partner and I have created a lot of designs together. For simplicity sake, we were trying to see PayPal could divide the payments made from RedBubble.

I've never used PayPal, for anything. I'm not an idiot. I'm not an amateur (I have 10 years of freelancing experience); I'm simply new to this platform and am trying to figure out how it works. I didn't need a snarky lecture. All I needed was an answer to the question. And if you needed more information about the situation, you could have simply asked.

[Whac-A-Mole]

no thanks.

why not ask for cash or wiretransfer so no one can file chargeback.

Because those are not payment options offered by RedBubble. They ONLY pay through PayPal. Look, if you're just going to keep coming up Captain Obvious answers that are unrelated to the question, could you please stop replying.

In case you missed the answer previously, I'll keep it simple:  No.
