Is it ok to have more than one PayPal account?
I've never really used PayPal that much, I got an account about 5 years ago back when eBay were foisting them on everyone, and I used it for about 2 or 3 payments I think.
Since then a lot has changed for me, most notably moving halfway around the world from UK to Taiwan. About a year or so ago, I remembered I had a PayPal account, and so I attempted to access it to see if I could make further use of it. However, that turned out to be a serious bloody pain because it was very difficult to access from Taiwan... PayPal kept trying to send security checks to my UK mobile number, which of course no longer exists.
Eventually, I managed somehow to change the security check number to my dad's phone (as it would only accept a UK number, not my Taiwan one), but that is still totally lame because it would mean that if ever I wanted to even so much as log in to my account I would have to coordinate with my VERY busy father whilst negotiating an 8 hour time difference! Not the best for impulse shopping, lol!
Originally I had the idea of getting a new account based in Taiwan, but the PayPal app didn't seem to be on the Play store over here. Finally today I checked again, and the app is available, so I downloaded it and made a brand new PayPal account.
So, my question is, am I somehow going to get my account suspended or whatever for having two accounts? Should I go to the effort of trying to close my UK based account or just leave well enough alone?

As for the PayPal, I will probably not bother messing with my UK account now unless I have to, and just stick to using my Taiwan account. Does anyone know if paying money into my Taiwan PayPal account from a UK bank will incur additional fees? Or would it be better to transfer money from my Taiwan bank when using my Taiwan PayPal account?
