Can you combine two accounts?

[Atina321]

I have just set up a second account via a payment prompt.  Unfortunately this was to an old email address, as the new account is now set up, with funds, how do I transfer the funds without having to submit bank details, or combine the new account into my existing paypal account.

Hi Atina321,

If you have opened a second PayPal account and you have received the funds in to this newly created PayPal account, you can send the funds to your current PayPal account by pressing the Send Money tab from the new account. When you are sending the funds to your new PayPal account, you should send the payment as a Personal payment. By doing this, there should be no fees applied on the transaction as the funds have been sent from one PayPal balance to another.

After you have done this, you could consider closing the newly registered PayPal account as you can't merge two accounts together. The only problem is that if you close an account, one of your buyers could still open a dispute on one of the payments that was sent to you and you wouldn't be able to respond to the case through your Resolution Centre as the account will be closed.

You could think about keeping the account open for 45 days from when the payments were received and then close the account after this timeframe has passed.

I hope this helps,

David.
