Buyer account linked to my suspended seller account. Can I still buy?
 

Ok so my main seller account got suspended weeks ago however my other account which has all the same info (name, address, PayPal, IP address, etc.) so it's obviously linked but it has not been suspended yet. This was my buyer account and I have not used it since my main account went unregistered. I have logged into the buyer account a few times already without problems. I know that if I try to sell on this account it will surely get suspended as well. Now my question is, can I still buy with this account? As soon as I place a bid on something will this account get suspended? I want to buy a few things on eBay but at the same time want to use my real name/address rather than going thru the hassle creating a new account using ⊗⊗⊗⊗ info. Please advise, thanks!

usually you can still buy...but you may end being linked anyway. selling is a slam dunk ban on the account by the 'bots.

You can buy on it sure

If you want to sell, you can try seting up in a variation of your name and address, so returns and paypal codes by post, will get to you, but the address

Ok great I'm gonna try and buy something with this account and see if it lasts.
