Yes.


 


You choose which PayPal account to use by the PayPal payment email address in an eBay listing.


 


I do not know if you can combine sales for a buyer if there are two different PayPal email addressees used in the listings. Perhaps someone knows this. I think dipmicro has a micro and regular PayPal account.

If you use a Micro account and have buyers that combine items (making them more than the $12 break even point).


 


Do not use combined shipping rules, your buyers will then need to wait for you to send them a revised invoice, when you send the invoice you can change the PayPal payment email to your regular account if that will result in the lowest fees.

I can not link both accounts to my user id 😞


Just tells me I already have a paypal account on this ID.

Nan I think you 'used to' require a second email to add another account to PayPal, but I just recently added a new ID and used the same email account as this ID.

Why do you need to "link them"?


 


When listing just use the email address for the micro account when it's appropriate, when it's not then use your "regular" email address for your main account.
