Do you? * yes * no, I use my spouse's account * no, I use my parents' account * no * etc.
Joes Shop	09 Jul 2015 6:44 p.m. PST
Yes.
Jan Zizka	09 Jul 2015 6:53 p.m. PST
Yes
79thPA	09 Jul 2015 7:00 p.m. PST
Yes. I have dealt with a few people who use the account of another family member, such as a brother.
ColCampbell	09 Jul 2015 7:03 p.m. PST
Yes, for a number of years without any problems (he says as he crosses his fingers). Jim
Grelber	09 Jul 2015 7:08 p.m. PST
Yes Grelber
skippy0001	09 Jul 2015 7:24 p.m. PST
yes, no problems.
Mute Bystander	09 Jul 2015 7:28 p.m. PST
Yes, no problemo until they wanted my birth certificate data (and I had joined pre-9/11 over-reaction with my nick-name which was not going to confirmable under the new guidelines) to continue using my account. Thank you, government… I signed up with my "given name" for a second account and have had no problems at all.
Just Jack	09 Jul 2015 7:46 p.m. PST
Yes. For me, it's been an absolute necessity, and I've been very fortunate in that I've had no problems. V/R, Jack
Rogzombie	09 Jul 2015 8:02 p.m. PST
Had it since the glitched beginnings!
Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut	09 Jul 2015 8:03 p.m. PST
I have my own account, and my spouse uses it.
hocklermp5	09 Jul 2015 8:27 p.m. PST
Yes and no problems since I started with them quite a few years ago. Nice thing is if you pay via their service and a vendor gives you a run around on refund when you start a dispute with PayPal that does the trick to get your refund.
Sgt Slag	09 Jul 2015 8:36 p.m. PST
Yes, for over 10 years, I believe. No issues. Cheers!
Winston Smith	09 Jul 2015 9:03 p.m. PST
Yes. I use it mostly for eBay sales or TMP sales. It's not "real money", as in what I earned, so am free to spend it on hobby frivolity.
Bashytubits	09 Jul 2015 9:04 p.m. PST
Yeppers.
Chuckaroobob	09 Jul 2015 9:09 p.m. PST
Yes, no problems.
Gungnir	09 Jul 2015 9:19 p.m. PST
Two – one business, for our foundation, one private, well, for private stuff, like little guys to add to the paint queue. Had to use their service the other week when a vendor didn't supply, no hassle at all and a decision and repayment within hours.
Cyrus the Great	09 Jul 2015 9:21 p.m. PST
Yes.
Garand	09 Jul 2015 9:31 p.m. PST
Yes, and I use it for the majority of my on-line orders too…. Damon.
kallman	09 Jul 2015 9:38 p.m. PST
Yes but rarely use it.
Stosstruppen	09 Jul 2015 10:00 p.m. PST
Yes
The Beast Rampant	09 Jul 2015 10:13 p.m. PST
Yes- I've had my own for around 15 years, but for some while, I almost invariably use my wife's. All our ebay sales and such go through it, and she is the numbers end of that operation.
Old Contemptibles	09 Jul 2015 10:16 p.m. PST
Yes but just for purchases. No credit account.
Tarleton	09 Jul 2015 11:49 p.m. PST
Why?
Texas Jack	09 Jul 2015 11:51 p.m. PST
Yep!
Oh Bugger	10 Jul 2015 2:16 a.m. PST
Why indeed.

Yes,used it for years, never had a problem
FusilierDan	10 Jul 2015 4:04 a.m. PST
No, but use paypal to pay many vendors both in the USA and overseas.
GildasFacit	10 Jul 2015 4:09 a.m. PST
As a business payment gateway it is invaluable to a small business like mine. Costs are low compared to alternative methods and payment by customers is simple and problem free. They get protection from the unscrupulous so feel more confident in using reliable services (like mine) and can pay with or without an account. What's not to like ?
Karellian Knight	10 Jul 2015 4:26 a.m. PST
Yes, so far so good.
Tuudawgs	10 Jul 2015 5:25 a.m. PST

Dynaman8789	10 Jul 2015 6:28 a.m. PST
Yes, my spouse uses mine too.
Tom Reed	10 Jul 2015 6:33 a.m. PST
yes, with a separate bank account which I keep just enough money in to keep it active, not linked to my main account
McKinstry	10 Jul 2015 8:05 a.m. PST
Yes
Ed the Two Hour Wargames guy	10 Jul 2015 8:08 a.m. PST
Tom Reed – Good idea.
etotheipi	10 Jul 2015 8:09 a.m. PST

Buff Orpington	10 Jul 2015 9:51 a.m. PST
Yes
Tabletopndice	10 Jul 2015 10:21 a.m. PST
Definately. Use it all of the time for all purchases. No problems.
The Virtual Armchair General	10 Jul 2015 10:50 a.m. PST
Absolutely "Yes!" For over 12 years and only one problem--and it was my error, but it worked out. Cannot imagine a small business being run without it. TVAG
Weasel	10 Jul 2015 11:26 a.m. PST
I get paid through Paypal so.. yeah.
