I think official business registration is the way to go to avoid flags.
Ebay don't like people selling a lot of stuff without setting it up as a business account.
Paypal will definately raise flags if you have a personal account and thousands of $$$$ going through it.
This happened to me recently and I was only juuuuust able to sweet talk them into removing my limitation 'after I upgraded it to a business account'
supplied them with all the documentation with any personal information blacked out like bank details, elctricity company acc number etc.
I supplied the same ID to Ebay but they won't remove my limitation I can only buy not sell now. Because "We cannot identify that some of the items you are selling are genuine" Pfffffff
Any advice on getting around this would be appreciated.
Once I registered my ABN as a sole trader I added several 'trading as' names to it. Set up a business bank account for each under the individual trading name and matched names with the names on seperate Paypal Business Account Trading names.
Don't directly link your ebay accounts to your paypal accounts this just makes it easier for Paypal to snoop around in the ebay account and have a look at total sales and items sold.
On another note: You are not required to register for GST until you are making over $50,000 for that ABN which will be your total stock colaboration, not just profit.
