Address question

[highhopes89]

I registered a new bank account to use with a new account. I linked it to my roommate, but with the address I just used my Mom's (with his name obviously as the addressee), who lives about 10 minutes away. Is that risky, or should it cover my base? I got all the other steps covered, just don't want to risk linking him to me if I gamble for being lacksadasical. Thanks guys!

What do you mean linked it to your roomate?

I'm a co-signer on the bank account, the bank account is in his name as the primary signer. I thought I read somewhere Paypal may be doing credit checks now. Since the account is new I wouldn't want to risk them doing a credit check and then finding that he obviously doesn't live at the listed address. Maybe I am overparanoid, but I just want to sure all my bases are covered before jumping back into it. I sell in what is considered a high risk category, high priced items. So I definitely will be taking it very slow.
