I want to open up a fresh Paypal account so I can stop using my mother's. Mine got permanently limited a few years back for eBay related shenanigans, and when I had tried opening a new one it got limited again, and since they already had my SSN on file, I couldn't verify and unlimit my new account with it.

I am thinking I could just open a business account, and all I would need is an EIN # and a business name, so I could use the account without putting my name in there and getting linked again.

Could someone point me to some info on a simple way to get a business name and an EIN #? I saw a thread on here about how to open an LLC, but it's still a bit over my head, to be honest.

Thanks guy!

Anyone able to give any insight on this?
