eBay buyer accounts getting blocked by seller
 

Trying to buy stock from an eBay seller using new eBay accounts but same PayPal however they usually block the new eBay account pretty much straight away, as they're probably linking it using the PayPal.

I know I can create new PayPals but this is not ideal as I want to use the same payment card each time.

Any ideas?

Using the same PayPal account with multiple eBay accounts isnt a good idea, and if the buyer is already looking out for your orders sending them with different accounts makes it look even worst.

You said you need to use the same payment card. Could it be possible to use a preloaded VCC to pay for the order?

That is an option but which VCC’s are relatively easy and cheap to use?

who is blocking your Ebay account ?Ebay or the seller?
If seller,why not ask the seller?

Re: eBay buyer accounts getting blocked by seller
 

The seller probably has you blocked by email address instead of username. If that's the case any new eBay you attempt to pay with is already blocked since the payment is coming from the same PP email.

Since you said you prefer to pay with one card.. have you tried paying for orders with that card in guest checkout? You should be able to pay directly without logging into your eB/PP account.

Was going to say the exact same thing. Guest checkout is your answer.

Re: eBay buyer accounts getting blocked by seller
 

Guest checkout worked for an item which was around £25 but not an item which was £799.
Have also tried using my AMEX card and that is failing.
Does anyone know which cards/banks work well for the larger transactions also?

I would not be giving tips on how to evade another seller's block list here.
Sellers's don't block buyers without reason. If the seller has blocked you for whatever reason, perhaps you should respect their decision and move on.
