UK eBay & PaypalGeneral discussions about eBay.co.uk Suspensions and Paypal.co.uk limited accounts. This forum is geared towards UK eBay & Paypal sellers.
So I got hit by the €2500 EU limit fortunately I didn't go over the limit so my PayPal account didn't get banned. However, I obviously can't use the account no more. So I was thinking if I could abandon that PayPal and open a new PayPal and link that to my eBay account instead. I don't see why not because the eBay account is still intact and as far as PayPal is concerned, it is just an automated message and doesn't really mean my account is a threat. The only thing that's holding me back from doing this is potentially wasting a good standing bank account if anything does go wrong and PayPal and eBay both decide to limit me somehow. Any advice?
The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!
Also, another concern I have is I don't want to "break the EU regulations" because I don't want to break the law. I am aware the thing relates to money laundering even though I'm not doing anything like that, I don't want to put myself in the line of fire by suspicious activities like unlinking and linking.
I do it all the time and I dont care about breaking EU law because I am using stealth accounts.
Look at it this way, what will you do with the ebay account if you dont link a new paypal account?
Neither can 'damage' your bank account.
Time to go stealth.
When theory meets experience, experience trumps all. The abovementioned was just my thoughts about the idea, I was looking for someone who has experience in actually doing it and what their results were. Cheers bud!
Just a question, when you create a new PayPal account to link to your stealth, do you still use the same info as the previous one? I would assume this is not a problem because like I said, it is all automated anyways.
All new made up details, when I get the 'limit approaching' notification I empty it and start again. Been doing it this way for years.
To add, my ebay account(s) are stealth too.
Oh okay, I think I got you. Do you mean that you leave the eBay Stealth info the same (e.g. Steve Reeves, flat 123, RM6 BLA) but for the new Paypal info you choose a different name and address?
Yeah, I am referring to stealth accounts in this thread (sorry should have made that clear) I often make my stealth eBay and PayPal have the same name and address details as each other, so I was wondering if it would be an issue to have different info on your eBay and the linked PayPal?
Completely different bogus details. No connection to my bogus eBay Stealth details which remain untouched.
I sell (genuine) VeRO sensitive goods, sometimes i can get through 4 paypal accounts before I get the 30 day warning ( I simply ignore the 7 day one) and then I retire the ebay account. Although stealth accounts, I consider it poor practice to attract a ban.
Cheers! I will make up some different info and relink it to the same eBay. I don't think this is an issue anyway because so many buyers have different eBay details and PayPal details attached to the same account.
just checking when you guys create the new paypal account to link.. as well as using new details for the paypal do you go full stealth with the IP address and change for each new paypal?
