 Are these two PayPal accounts linked?
I was suspended from eBay in November. I've tried getting reinstated, but no luck. My PayPal account is not limited, but is linked to my suspended eBay accounts.
Prior to reading this board, I planned to create an eBay account under my friend's identity and signed up for a PayPal account using his information. I confirmed the account and transferred $500 into the PayPal account from his checking account. I did not sign up for an eBay account.
Because I had not read these boards before doing this, I did it all without clearing cookies, etc. and we've logged into this PayPal account approximately 10 times or less using his desktop computer and iPhone (so 2+ different IP addresses).
The problem is, I've logged into my PayPal and suspended eBay accounts in the past using both his desktop computer and his iPhone. His computer and iPhone were NOT the main places I logged into my eBay accounts from, but my fear is that his PayPal account is now linked to my PayPal account and possibly my suspended eBay accounts as well.
I've logged into my "linked" PayPal account from his computer in the past week. I have not logged into my suspended eBay accounts from his computer or phone since before they got suspended. The IP addresses might have changed since -- I'm not sure. He uses AT&T 3G for his phone and Cox with a Linksys router for his computer.
Are these two Paypal accounts linked now? If yes, would PayPal become suspicious if I deleted my friend's current PayPal account and signed up for a new PayPal account using his same information and a different IP address?
Thank you for your help!
