Ghost | 04-10-2009 02:33 PM | Which has tougher security, eBay or Paypal? I'd like to know in you guys' experience which one has been the biggest pain when it comes to getting caught?
So far for me it seems to be eBay, but that's just based off a very limited experience right now. What happened just recently in my first (and latest) attempt to open a stealth account for both eBay and Paypal, my new accounts were actually LINKED to my old ones (not just "abusing eBay") and it was a careless mistake on my part. It looks like the phone number I used for my new eBay/Pal accounts was used at some point as an alternate phone for my old ones and so I didn't remember that it would be considered blacklisted information.
The thing is that eBay caught me on this and banned my eBay account before I even so much as placed a single bid... meanwhile my Paypal account with that same toxic profile info is still up and running and I even use it to make payments on some random crap! Now I'm just trying to slowly use it more and more to see just how much they'll let me get away with. Weird, huh? :noidea: |
