can a credit card be used with paypal and then with ebay?
 

i'm asking this because i can use a paypal account (that has that card on file) to activate an ebay selling account and i can also use that same credit card to activate an ebay selling account as well. is it ok to use the same credit card to verify paypal and then use that same card to start selling on another ebay stealth account? this would help me to open even more accounts without opening too many credit cards. i'm just skeptical about doing this for linking purposes! thanks!

I would advise against it, PP and EB share a lot of information. Would be better to use a VVC

Such an action links all the accounts.

You run the risk of the message this card is already used on xxx account.

Avoid this

Never use the card for ANOTHER eB stealth account...UNLESS that eB account is tied to the same PP (e.g. 2 eb to 1 pp). You will be linked.

Brand new stealth account = brand new everything. PERIOD.

but for a new stealth ebay and new pp account its ok to use say the vanilla visa for both? since they are linked anyways?

Using info from another account is not a stealth account, that is two linked accounts that will probably both be hit

1 Vanilla Visa : 1 Paypal

You don't need any VCC for Ebay, just need it for Paypal.

Make sure you take this chance to go over the correct method to create an account. Once you 'get' that, it is much easier for you.
Good Luck.

thanks, i just thought ebay needed a card on the account as well for seller fees.

Naw, You can pay your fees either through Ebay or with a Vanilla Visa but personally I just pay my fee's with Paypal.

eB does not NEED the card but that card can be used to pay fees (if balance is enough)

thanks for that info guys, i was getting confused whether ebay needed the card or not right out the gate, but i hear that using the gift cards work well with paying ebay fees.

Yes as long as funds are available, you can use it for both - SAME accounts.
