Linked two working accounts by being careless

[Swizzle]

I was listening to a podcast on youtube while swiching from account to account. Each time having to reboot the video. Well I end up going to ebay signing into the wrong account. I was on the wrong user on my computer. As soon as I signed in I realized it and clicked out but damn I know it's already linked.

The problem is that I really needed the account that I had just signed into because it has a good real checking account and the limits on the account had already been increased to 100 while the other accounts are still only 10 a month.



Don't know what to do. Guess I'll have to build another account.

I already know not to be listening to stuff while dealing with my accounts but for some reason I didn't LISTEN to myself this time and got distracted and screwed up everything. Gotta keep focused.

...so, what can we say... cross your fingers and hope that link will not be noticed.

Thus the reason to always have your backups sitting and ready to go

No issue really until one account has a problem or they combine limits.

But never know when the problems comes up...

I was meaning you can still use the accounts and they are not dead, but I would not focus on making them the strongest accounts for sure.

I wouldn't waste my time and energy worrying too much. Make sure you have a bunch of accounts ready to go. If this is the only time you've done this, just carry on.

If it makes you feel better, I slipped up similarly a couple of times months ago. Nothing ever happened (at least not yet). Don't give them any other reason to link these accounts any other way. I think you'll be okay.

Ditto to what nodeal said....I've done same with same (no) results.

It is never advised to have this happen. However, it has been years since this has happened to me. But usually you are ok unless one gets taken down. Then it is the Domino effect. So if you keep everything in good standing more than likely you will be ok.

Like everyone else on here who is Senior Member. Always have have backups you are priming and getting ready to go. In the stealth world, you can never have too many accounts!
