How does ebay and paypal link up?

[bigdave24]

Just wondering how they link accounts?I've been reading a few articles about companies selling their ebay accounts with other parts of their business to a new company,and wondered if the accounts history would affect it or would it be looked at as a new account with paypal?
EG:If someone(company) purchased another company and took on that companies ebay shop as part of the purchase(acceptable under ebays terms)would they need to take on the attached paypal or start a new one?
Thanks

This is a gray area.

Very few US accounts get sold as businesses like they do in the UK.

The issue is getting a straightforward response from either ebay/paypal on such a business transfer.

We had a seller who paid out £10,000 for a business. Got a permanent limitation off paypal. The crux of paypal's decision was the old paypal had been limited permanently.

One thing, take nothing SAID by any staffer.
Only have anything in writing.

Thanks gb. I don't think PayPal like giving a straight answer.
