Attaching a different PayPal account to my eBay. Old PayPal is NOT limited.

soulkey · #1 02-08-2018

Hello all.

I have an eBay account with high selling limits and it's been aged. I also have two PayPal accounts under different info. and it's also been aged.

My question is can I remove the first PayPal account from eBay, then attach the second PayPal? Both PayPal accounts are not limited. They're in good stealth condition. I just want to change it so I can use the first PayPal account for a different use outside of eBay.

There's no such thing as "removing" a PayPal. Adding a new PayPal is a risk.....can you do it? Yes you can, but you should know that by doing so you are risking the new PayPal getting limited.

Now, disclaimer.....
People will come and tell you that they have done this and it's worked for them and their accounts are fine and all that jazz......it's all luck.

May the Odds be ever in your favor.

You can certainly do this, but just be aware that those accounts will all be linked together when you add them to eBay. The "link" really doesn't disappear.

Nick's right.

You aren't "risking" anything since both accounts are in good standing. But if one ever goes down they will both go down.

Phaz0rz is pretty sharp, however I think linking a PP with mismatched/different info is asking for trouble.

Why would you even do this? What possible advantage could it be to you?

You can use the PP as it is for a 'different use outside of PP' without any changes at all.

Another reason for the PayPal switch is because the first PayPal account I have is like...cursed LOL. What I mean is that I'm always getting unfair chargebacks, opened cases, and funds being withheld from me.

But now that I have switched over to my second PayPal account, every transaction is smooth. No holds and no cases being opened.

What about if a paypal gets limited, can you add a new paypal to an ebay account that did not get banned.

You can but it won't last long. The 2nd Paypal would quickly end up with the same limitation and you'd have money stuck inside.

Going back to OP, I said it's fine to do because I did something similar without any problems. I started receiving payments on new a PP by switching the PP email in eBay listings because I was having a hard time attaching a bank to the first PP. I stopped using the first PP after switching.

Proceed at your own risk. Be prepared to call in with a good explanation (business management change or something). You probably won't have to.

(Dallis' post below is spot-on. You should probably focus on addressing whatever issue with your business is causing the problems instead of migrating your problems to a new PP account.)

That's something to do with you, not with the account. PP doesn't issue 'unfair chargebacks', or 'opened cases', that's all YOU.

You did or were doing something that got them all stirred up.

If you're still doing whatever it is the second one will soon have those issues as well.

They're going to link them, and they'll both suffer the same fate, whatever that is, but it's going to look as if you're trying to avoid your past - because that's exactly what you're doing.

The thing is, I didn't do anything wrong. The unfair chargebacks were open cases opened by crooked buyers. I've won all my cases and PayPal has always favored me (the seller) because I have proof of shipment and photographic evidence. Those are not on me. I am not avoiding my past, I've resolved every issue. Sometimes it's just bad luck. So I switched over to a new PayPal and it's going well (I understand the risks). But the first PayPal isn't limited or gone bad. Hope you understand instead of pointing the finger without both sides of the story.

So the first Paypal isn't limited - should have stuck with that. Now you are putting both of the Paypals at risk potentially.

OK, humor me.

The paypal is not limited. Isses wuth buyers were resolved in his favor.

He wants to change paypals with a business paypal.

Noone would consider adding a second paypal and directing payments to it? Could it not work if done directly thro’ pypal?

NB, to any critics, I am just seeing what others think.

Not to be disrespectful, if you have a lot of auto accidents, even if you're found not to be at fault, the insurance company is going to drop you.

Most people don't get a lot of cases. I've had one this year over 900-1000 transactions.

I proactively work hard to resolve any possible cases before they are even opened.

I have proof of shipment and photographic evidence

As a stand alone comment, PP doesn't give a rat's patootie about photographs. No case you resolved ever had anything to do with pictures.

My original point is simple: if you have lots of cases, even if you win, PP is going to being giving you the fish-eye.

Didn't you ask this already in a different thread?

The answer is simply, NO

Yes, understood. Thank you. No disrespect either, I was just on irked when you said I did or were doing something wrong that got them stirred up. It's true what you said, even if it's not my fault my PayPal can still drop me.

I find most people have created their own problems, and like to pretend they didn't and don't want to change, so the same thing just happens over and over and over again.

That's the reason I usually say that kind of thing...
