I have a legit paypal account i've been using for 12 years. I'm trying to setup stealth with etsy and wondering if its ok to use my normally used paypal with a new added email? Since paypal and ebay is same company linking each other will bring lots of problems to paypal if something happened to ebay but i don't think etsy and paypal have any relationship other then payment gateway. Or is that a red flag for my paypal account or etsy account?

Use your old PP account but create a new email address and add to your old PP and then use this newly added email address for easy and you will be just fine.

I'm having the same problem as well. I am in the process of starting a new ETSY account. So just for clarification, if my legit Paypal account has my banned ETSY email and my new email address, I can still use this paypal account as long as I use the new email address for receiving payments?
ETSY will not know that this paypal account is the same one used for the banned email?

Just to clarify, this only works for receiving payments, correct? They won't be able to make payments to Etsy using the same PayPal account because of the name attached to it, right?

That is correct - if you are banned definitely don't pay them their fees with a real PP acct.

Woah! Can I just clarify, I can use and old Paypal account that had a banned email address on it to receive payments, and then pay the fees with a different method like a credit card or another Paypal account, and that's fine? No linkage? I ask because I am currently using a friend's account to receive payments and using the same account to make payments to avoid any linkage to my old account, which is a bit of a pain.
I wouldn't pay it with ANY PP account. Use a prepaid gift card with a Visa logo and that works fine. Just register it with the stealth info. I am no accountant but I hope you talked to one and your friend as well as they now assume the tax liability if the PP is in their name.

I paid using a single PayPal for at least a dozen accounts and was never flagged. Why? They don't actually get an address or info when you pay. All you have to do is change your primary email to that stores email when you pay. Or that's what I've done anyway.

If you sign up for the business account through PayPal and not the personal, you won't have any problems paying with it. With the business accounts, PayPal only states your business name when a transaction name. They will not give etsy or anyone else your personal name. If you use a personal PayPal account, they will give etsy the name you signed up with.

I get that but if you pay several Et/sy bills with one PP account that links them, no? If one goes down then they all would go down, it would stand to reason.

You are correct. I just use different PP accounts.

Hi! I have a question about changing paypal account. I have a legit paypal account and I used for my old Etsy shop what closed by Etsy. Now I use my new sleath Etsy account with a new PP but this PP is limited. I would change this new PP to my old PP . I know I will be OK if I change the email address but when I go to my Etsy account and press " change your paypal address " Etsy wants charge my old PP with 1 USD :( Have you ever had this problem?? I am afraid if I add the old PP with new email address and Etsy take that 1 USD I will banned. Any idea?
Sorry for my english but I hope you will understand what I wrote.
Ops I forgot to let you know I added an Entropay Virtual card for paying fees for etsy and its working . But changign PP they want to chareg with 1 USD .
that's the first I have heard of etsy charging $1 to change the pp. it might be a verification thing - maybe. I have used the same pp account that was associated with a banned account, I just created a new email and it worked for years. hopefully some other people will reply to this thread as I am curious about the $1 charge as well.
What a great forum. I know its an old thread but its relevant to what Im doing now.
Story goes we lost our Etsy shop a couple months ago for too many dmca's, long story but thats the end result.
So I thought of getting my wifes brother to setup paypal and banking. Done.
Got new private proxies that are supposed CL bulletproof.
Open new account et.sy and then uploaded product pic from my comp.
Woke up this morning and shop/acct deactivated, kaboom
Now in reading thru various forums/threads here are my guesses.
1. paypal account is not US based and we are using US proxy? It is a paypal biz acct.
2. Last name matches our banned account as its her brother?
3. The pic uploaded has same metadata from old banned account?
4. They can see browser settings? Should have created new windows user acct?
So now my thoughts are just use a local broadband sim usb...new ip... and use his paypal and bank, just add new email to paypal.
Register new et.sy account.
Scrape the metadata from all our old pics.
Move the pics to new windows user acct desktop and upload from there.
