2 stealth paypal requesting SSN but ebay still active
 

I bought 2 stealth accounts on here, ebay and paypal. Everything was going fine till u got limitations for the 200/20k and i added ein. One account asked for business registration paperwork which i never provided (different from biz license). It changed to an account where i could only receive and withdraw. Sales went up and account got limited and asked for id, tracking numbers, invoices. I provided and then they requested SSN. I moved ahead to adding new email on my other stealth paypal and was using it to receive payments from the other ebay. They limit that account also requesting same docs. Now i have 2 limited paypal accounts and 2 functional ebays. Has anyone been in same situation? Are both ebay accounts toast? As it seems like if i add another paypal (legit), that may also get limited. Do i move on or can this be salvaged?

Paypal now knows how to link your accounts.
You have 2 Ebay accounts with no way to accept payments.

adding a new email addr to an existing Paypal account,it is still the same Paypal account.

Just get a new paypal and add to the good ebay accts, start slowly and you will be fine, I have 4 accts like that going on month 10 with no issues. But sweep paypals often so if you do get limited you will not have money tied up for 6 months.

Can't ebay see the payments are coming from the same ebay account? This must be trackable in their system?

This is probably the most controversial stealth situation out there. Swapping Paypal accounts on eBay accounts. Everyone has a different opinion.

All I can ask is for you to let us know if it works. You could wait and use the new ebay payment system...

I have a similar situation but have just been waiting for more info. Don't want to burn a good ebay and good paypal by linking them together.

link new ebay account with new paypal account,search this column.
adding a new email addr to your existing paypal account is still the same Paypal account

SO here's the deal, sure just adding a new PP to the old eBay may work for a while, but it's a ticking time bomb and you don't know what the count down is.

If you are ok with this, go for it.

Personally I like to keep things clean from the get go. ALL of my accounts are over 10 years old. So I'm sticking to my way as taught by the stealth guide 10 years ago

Re: 2 stealth paypal requesting SSN but ebay still active
 

Yeah but the alternative is scrapping what is still a good eBay account, old, lots of feedback, etc...Not really much to loose other than burning another paypal. The ebay account will still be fine, provided your ebay stuff is legit.

Re: 2 stealth paypal requesting SSN but ebay still active
 

not just burning another Paypal account,it is that any paypal account linked to that ebay account will be taken down,so that Ebay account has no way to accept payment,unless AYden comes to the rescue.
as for feedbacks,it does not mean much depends on what you sell.

Re: 2 stealth paypal requesting SSN but ebay still active
 

So to get this straight. Once a PayPal account gets limited, the eBay account attached to it is forever screwed with any PayPal in future? No way around this?

Re: 2 stealth paypal requesting SSN but ebay still active
 

If i link a new paypal to the other stealth ebay, will that paypal also be limited?
Since the 1st ebay now has a stigma attached to it, i wonder if it will be the same with the 2nd ebay

Re: 2 stealth paypal requesting SSN but ebay still active
 

It's not "will it be limited", it's really a question of when.

Lot of ppl do reuse paypal accounts (or ebay accounts with new paypal accounts) and some people have success for some time but you never can be 100% sure when it could do down - only trial and error can confirm

Re: 2 stealth paypal requesting SSN but ebay still active
 

The 2nd limitation email only asked for tracking associated with the first ebay account (which had the 1st paypal limitation), even though both ebay accounts were receiving payments but under 2 different emails.

I need a drink!

Re: 2 stealth paypal requesting SSN but ebay still active
 

The first account, you said they asked for ein and you didn’t provide, continued to sell, then afterwards, they demanded not only ein/ssn, but also Id and docs?
