Ebay registered name & address change?
Hi This is my 1st post! I don't think it's an unusual one as I've searched the threads and come up with differing answers, so I would appreciate a response from anyone who's done / had experience of it!
I little background - I started an ebay account 5 years ago, steady sales selling an information product I own but (for my own reasons, which were good at the time) I used a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name and contact / email address. I don’t think ebay have ever realised (as I read this forum, when it 1st started) and always use a library pc or mobile over 3G to carry out all my relisting, answering questions etc.
I've never been red carded, always had 100% + FB, 1 or 2 "where's my item, or item not as described" which I've dealt with by refunding instantly. My ebay / paypal are not linked but Ive always paid my fees with my 'real' paypal account.
I only have 1 paypal account, but 2 ebay accounts.
Now my question - I don't want to merge my accounts and I know you can have 2 ebay accounts, but I now want to change my ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name to my real name. If there is a big risk of both account being banned then I would start again in my 'real' account and close my ⊗⊗⊗⊗. What do you think?
I would rather keep this account as it has 1900 + FB and quite a unique name so it would be a shame.
I've read some people state that they have changed things a month at a time, but this looks more suspicious to me than a one off change. I do have a story prepared – “account was jointly owned (in the other persons name, as they set it up, but money has always gone into my PP and fees have paid by me – we’ve not broken the business up and I’m in sole charge” I could even at a stretch get someone to write to / phone up if necessary.
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks for any responses!
