A friend of mine just had a problem with his Paypal account and couldn't withdraw his funds, And asked if he could use my Paypal account.

 

I use it for my contributor acount, so we both gonna use the same Paypal for a while until he fix his problem.

Is Adobe gonna treat it as a violation?

 

Note: We can't use Skrill or Payoneer because they are not working in our country.

While sharing a PayPal account across multiple Contributor accounts is not expressly forbidden, it may be one of the factors that Adobe uses to determine if a Contributor is running multiple Contributor accounts that violate the Adobe Stock guidelines.

One really easy way to find that out, would be the tax form. As it is true that you could also fill in dummy values into that, it's in most countries considered tax fraud. But sure, your grandmother and grandfather could also be contributors. 😂

 

My guess is, that it is not a single issue that determines that, but multiple indications that will lead Adobe into an investigation. 

 

This said, we won't confirm that nobody gets banned. We just confirm what is, and what is not, against the rules, according to our qualified knowledge.

Adobe sends the payment to the account indicated. You may get in trouble with your taxes on this.

It is okay with the taxes, we can handle that, i am just curious if I could get banned from Adobe itself or not

You could get banned, yes! But the reason won't be sharing a PayPal account.
