Ebay asks to upgrade to business account
Hi,
in the first place I hope nobody will mind I put my thread in this (UK) section as the question is about UK ebay, UK paypal and UK bank account despite the fact at the moment I am in Slovakia. Thank you.
This question is NOT about stealth account but I am really desperate to get answer to avoid to get ban or before they stop me selling.
I am ebay and paypal member since 2010 in the UK where I was at the time. I was never selling anything (just buying) and only started selling in the end of the last year.
I am selling virtual in-game currency. I dont post anything physically. (its just digital goods)
Few days ago ebay sent me message asking me to upgrade to business account as they checked my account as a part of ongoing review of the eBay trading activities of their top sellers. If I dont upgrade they will not allow me to sell anymore. I have one week to upgrade. (thats what they said).
Now my question is: I am no entrepreneur nor have any company. Can I just upgrade to business account filling in non existing company, address etc? Will they find out? Moreover as I am not in the UK at the moment. Will it be suspicious if I put in details for UK company but my IP adress is "saying" I am outside of the UK? How is that even possible I still can sell using UK ebay account (and UK paypal) despite not being in the UK at the present? I thought they check ip addresses. Or is better option to put in details for company based in Slovakia? Is it even possible? (I saw few sellers selling on UK ebay which are based in eg China or Hong Kong although I know (or maybe just think) they are physically in Germany)
Thank you in advance for any help.
