How to Use PayPal at Non PayPal Stores

Can I Have More Than One PayPal Account?

Multiple Account
PayPal offers three types of accounts -- a Personal account, a Premier account and a Business account. According to their user agreement, an individual can hold one Personal account and one Premier or Business account. So in answer to the question above -- yes, you can hold more than one PayPal account. You are however, only limited to two accounts under your name provided one is a Personal PayPal account and the other a Premier or Business one.
Differences Between Accountds
A Personal account is typically used for online shopping and bill payments. You can also use this for accepting personal payments from friends and family, such as payment for shared rent or splitting dinner bills. If your are planning to use PayPal to accept payments for goods and services you sell online, a Premier account is recommended. Premier accounts are for casual sellers, or for non-businesses who wish to receive buyer payments. Business accounts on the other hand, offer more features for large organizations such as allowing access of up to 200 employees as well a PayPal account under a group or company name.
Multiple Emails And Bank Accounts
Although you can only have one Personal and one Premier or Business Account at PayPal, you can add more than one email to your account. In this case, if you are a seller and have multiple sites where you sell products at, you can attach both your payments@mytshirtshop.com and payments@myshoestore.com emails to one PayPal account. You can also have more than one bank account or credit card attached to an account. The only limitation is, if the bank account or credit card is already associated to one account, you cannot attach it to a second PayPal account.
Sharing Account
Personal and Premier accounts can only belong to an individual, but you can add joint bank accounts to either PayPal account. It's good to remember though, if you have a shared bank account, only one of you can add it to a PayPal account. If you have a business, Business accounts allow you to share access to more than one person such as an accountant or your business partner. Certain privileges can be set with regards to the level of access for each person.
