Thank you SO much for your help.
OK, so as for registering with ebay and Paypal...
1. I have basically used up all the legit names. I tried to use my Dad's name ONCE for 1 minute and got a paypal account no problem and even had my Dad open a bank account. This is when I discovered linking. So...I'm guessing I cannot use his name anymore? Or that bank account number? The paypal account didn't get limited, just the ebay account. I guess they linked me to my IP address...
2. Now that I have used up all my legit names, I am planning to vary my name a bit. I'm planning to keep my last name but instead of using Susan (my name), I was going to use Suzanne. Is that too close to my name? I have a PO Box and am going to use the PO street address so that will not be the same and it won't look like a PO box address. I opened a bank account in my name. Is that OK?
3. After I register, will ebay only give me 10 auctions a month? Or will they give me more? I obviously cannot confirm my identity, right? Or, what happens when you use a name that can't be looked up? Like, ebay won't be able to look up history on my name (Suzanne) and address since it's not linked to any purchases like cars or homes.
4. Finally, my Mom's paypal account is still open and running even though it can be linked to those "bad" ebay accounts. How long will this last? Will they figure it out soon? I have someone who is supposed to send me $600 that I really need today. Should I just tell her to wait until I set up a new Paypal account?
I really only want ONE username and 100 auctions a month. Thats all I need. I am SO grateful to this forum and the book. I would like to wait and see if I can set up my own stealth account before I buy one from someone to save $65. But, if it comes to that I guess thats what I'll do. I have been reading the book like crazy, but the questions above are still lingering. I am really torn up about this because it's getting to be the end of the month and if I can't sell at least a couple things soon I will be broke. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
