Hi TimPolack,
Welcome to the Community! 🙂
The email address is the unique identifying characteristic for a PayPal account. Each PayPal account must be associated with a different email address. You may have two accounts, but they will each have to have their own email address.
I hope this helps!

I have a Personal Paypal Acct. right now I have one eBay ID linked to my Paypal Acct....
And I have a 2nd eBay User ID and Each of my eBay ID's has their own email address ( Same Mailing/Shipping Addressess), Will I be able to link my 2nd eBay ID to my current Paypal Account with my 1st eBay ID ?? And use the same Credit Card ?
Thanks

Hi JeanQA,
While you can only link one eBay ID to a PayPal account for the purposes of automatic payment of seller fees, customized end of auction emails, and 1% cash back for the debit card, you can use any PayPal account to make or receive a payment for auctions.
For selling an item, the PayPal account to which the payment will be received is the one specified in the listing itself. For buying, you can opt to sign into whichever account you want to use at the time of payment.
I hope this helps clarify! 🙂
