AFAIK, the Paypal terms of service do not allow people to have  
multiple accounts with them; since I already have a personal account,  
I would have to break the TOS to get a second one (I could do that  
given that I have two addresses and two bank accounts, so they would  
have a hard time to find out -- still, I don't like the idea of  
consciously violating their TOS).


*Ideally* we'd have a company / registered organization / something  
which constitutes a "legal person" as it is called in Germany, i.e.,  
which has the right to open a bank account in its name. This would  
then e.g. allow to grant multiple people access, while still being  
able to track who did which money transfer.
As we don't have that, we need to use an account "owned" by an  
individual. In order for multiple of us to be able to access it, we'd  
then have to share the password, but would have no way to later on  
track who made which transaction. I.e., it would require absolute  
trust, that each password holder would (a) not abuse it and (b) keep  
it absolutely safe.
