PayPal Conditions

  • The PayPal account is bound to only 1 person and his/her bank account (for private account)
    • Vergewissern Sie sich, dass der Name, auf dem Ihr PayPal-Konto registriert ist, mit dem Namen auf Ihrem Bankkontoauszug übereinstimmt. Ansonsten sind Überweisungen von und auf Ihr PayPal-Konto nicht möglich, und es werden jedes Mal Rückbuchungsgebühren berechnet. (Quelle)
    • Practically: if you try to change your name - it is impossible. If you try to add a new bank account, you can change your first name, but not your family name.
  • A PayPal account for organizations is bound to the organization: its bank account holder should match the organization name.
