Hello, I've been using PayPal for quite a long time now. My wife (we use the same bank account) sometimes also uses my PayPal account. BUT: Sometimes PayPal sends a Security Code per SMS - and this SMS goes to MY Mobile Phone ... What shall we do - install an extra PayPal account for my wife (nota bene with the same bank account!)? Or can we officially install my wife as "2nd user" in my PayPal account (or something like that)? Thanks in advance for helpful answers!
Sorry, but that was not the (real) question ... We want to install a new PayPal account for my wife. She uses THE SAME BANK ACCOUNT as I do. Could that be a problem?
You mentioned adding your wife as a second user so I did answer your question, you can't have more than 1 person on a personal paypal account.
However if you mean your wife wants to open her own paypal account then that is fine but she would need her own email address / bank account / cards etc.
You can't link the same bank account to x2 paypal accounts.
Advice is voluntary. Kudos / Solution appreciated.
