Ebay purchasing account
 

I already have regular seller stealth accounts but I want a separate account for buying on ebay.

The reason I don't want to add my current or previous address to paypal is because they are both associated with paypal account already. Also I want the billing address to match the shipping address because to my knowledge some sellers won't allow them to be different.

So I just need to know whether I can just keep using the pay with credit card directly on ebay or if there is a limit where you will have to start using paypal as a payment option. Does ebay not really care about any of this if you are just buying items? Can I just change the info on the account to one of my old suspended accounts?

For me, i have my original account which i lost my selling priveleges on but i still

have my buying priveleges, from my experience eBay dont generally ban buying

accounts unless you doing some seriously dodgey sh!t. Check your original

account and see if you can buy on there. eBay has brought in the option to just

pay with credit/ debit card without the use of GayPal.

You can keep on paying with your credit card for as long as you'd like. Some buyers prefer not to open a Paypal account, so there's nothing wrong with paying via CC.

Garry's suggestion is also viable though and is one of the methods I use to purchase on eBay. My original personal account still has buying privileges.
