Name questions
Hi all-
Spent the past few days reading all the threads and digesting the eBook. I think I have things figured out.
My main selling ID and 5 other back-up/buying accounts that I had made up got suspended this week for being linked to a past suspended account from a few years ago for fees. I think it was Paypal that linked me. They suspended all of the accounts in my name and also my wife's (in her maiden name). Only thing in common for all of them would have been the Paypal account or used the Paypal account to pay for their items.
They didn't touch a shell account I had made up with a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name and address, my mom's account (which I still have the password to), and my business partner's account, all of which had been logged on with the same PC that would have been linked to the suspended account.
I obviously do not want to resuse my Paypal account (shame too, 2001 vintage!). My wife had a personal Paypal account in our married name (remember, eBay account suspended in her maiden name), which I closed out. I am going to have her open a Business account, so we can easily give SSN and documents when Paypal requests them.
My question is how much weight does someone's name weigh in eBay's decision if accounts are linked? eBay has nothing on her married name, and I will have a new address, phone, credit card, IP, etc to give them. Our last name is fairly rare. I don't think she ever paid anything on eBay with the personal account Paypal account she has.
Do you think that we will be ok? When I do this, I want to do it right. I had 3000 listings up when my account went down. We sell holiday merchandise, so this is our prime selling season and I don't want to go through the agony of starting everything up again and getting shut down.
Anything thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jason
