I have two Etsy stores using the same PayPal account. I have two emails attached to the same PayPal. One email is for one Etsy Account, the second email is for my second Etsy Account. All in all, 1 PayPal, 2 Etsy, 2 Emails. Been working just fine for months.

It's been several months since I was on Et.sy but as has been discussed here many times, as long as you are in good shape with PP your Et.sy accounts receiving payments (NOT paying the bill, just taking the payment for orders) works just fine. The problem comes when something goes wrong with one Et.sy account that is on a PP with other Et.sy accounts. If Et.sy bans that shop, for any reason whatsoever, and the Et.sy shop disappears my recommendation is that you'd better contact ALL of your Et.sy customers on the banned shop quickly to reassure that orders are still in process and going to be just fine, because all it takes is a few opening cases with PP since they can no longer find you (even if the order is just fine!) and it not only takes down your Et.sy but your PP now has a better chance of having issues as well due to multiple cases being opened, even if all is completely legit.
This may not happen often but it DOES happen, because it happened to me a while back. I limped along til I was able to get new PP's up and running which was a royal pain. ALWAYS have backups. ALWAYS. I no longer deal with Et.sy or PP and I sleep a lot better at night and have a lot less ulcers too!

well, thank you for all this info, understand all. but if one shop is down, will other shops follow this shop and will be taken down or not?
of course PP for rec. money only, bills will be paid by cc/gift card for every acc. separated.
No Gilluska, you are fine as long as the shops sell completely different items with different info. Basically no way to link since Et.sy can't see PP accounts.
novemberrain1970 is just talking about stores going down with lots of sales still open. Et.sy wipes you off the map while orders are still pending and of course customers get upset. Just stay on top of your emails and avoid cases in PP...if this even happens to you.
It did happen to me in the beginning when I listed an item that was not handmade but was selling dozens of orders every day. It was awesome while it lasted...just had to email everyone with tracking numbers, etc. to let them know all was ok.

perfect, yes, this can happen, always good to have backups, you never know with stealth acc.
what about idea of redirecting all emails from PP -all e.sy emails - forwarding to one mailbox without opening, just log in mailbox and checking if somebody ordered something?
is it safe without opening these emails or too risky?
well, sounds good...thanks
i was just wondering how the e.sy know if the item is paid especially if they have no ties with PP, when buyer made purchase and it is paid, it is marked on e.sy as a paid, if refund is given, on etsy will show status unpaid.
