Below Average Seller due to "defects"
 

Hi all, don't want to ramble so I'll try and keep in short.

I haven't been suspended, but my seller account has been downgraded to below average seller due to my defect rate jumping over the 2% barrier. Its currently 4.5% and going to take a long time to try and get it below 2%. Which as you probably know is forcing PayPal to hold my payments for 21 days.

My question is (and it's probably a relatively stupid question) if I use a friend's account with 80 positive (said it doesn't matter if it gets suspended, as he hasn't I used it in a long time, sells through Gumtree) feedback it to my current PayPal through a different email will the payments continue to be held?

I know it's probably asking for trouble, but I've heard eBay allow more than 1 account as long as the others aren't suspended. My account isn't suspended, only below average seller. I can still list and sell normally.

Disregard. Had no idea about stealth before making the post
