alexzin · #1 09-03-2009

Hi,all.I'm going to open an ebay account as well as paypal to link for both accounts.So my question is,will my accounts get any troubles if I use different details for both accounts?Thanks!

You should always use the same details for both the ebay and paypal account.

I'm going to take an account from my friend which he doesn't need it anymore.However,he did register a paypal account to link it.But the problem is that he can't give me his paypal cuz he still needs it.So I was wondering if I register a new paypal and link this ebay account.Will his account be linked if my paypal is limited?As you know though paypal is owned by ebay.But they are not actually sharing the details on the same database.

And there is another thing that I wanna add my cc to paypal account too in order to increase the monthly withdrawal limits.So It will be a problem if paypal account is not under my own details.

Wrong! You have been misinformed in a big way.

Expect each of them to know what the other knows.

actually you are wrong! ive been using one of my stealth accounts with my real info paypal..i set up this stealth account 3 years ago and forgot about it and just started using my real info paypal and its perfectly fine with 150+ feedback all positive.

so in my experience it doesnt matter but honestly it is better to match details,i plan on doing so on my other stealth accounts

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience.I'm gonna try first to see whether I can verify my paypal with the same informaiton as ebays under "no risk to my firend's paypal ",otherwise I have to go this step.Thanks for all helps again!

You should have paypal & ebay details matching. Flag is meant to be where you live not where you list: will you change the flag or shall I?

How will you access these accounts? With a VPN or proxy? If it is that, then you have flags against your account already. Right now, ebay is asking many accounts that are created like you are suggesting to give full ID. Make the accounts with varying details and take a risk.

i totally agree! but i didnt mean to not match my details,it was by accident and it works fine but just to be on the safe side,id match

I have never had a problem with different info on PP and ebay.
They are owned by the same entity and are probably sharing but on the surface at least all that ebay is supposed to see for your PP is the email you put it there.

If starting from scratch with stealth info on both I would however highly recomend the details matching up.

Alexin:

put the flag of the country where you live NOT where you list on ebay. You have 12 hours to change the flag. That is a forum requirement

Accounts have been known to become limited when there is mismatched information between eBay and PayPal.

I highly recommend using as much of the same information as possible for both eBay and PayPal to prevent a limitation like this from happening to you.

Will his account be linked if my paypal is limited?

Your friend's PayPal account should be fine if you become limited somehow. Still I would give it a 5% chance of becoming limited if your PayPal account which would be linked to his eBay account would become limited. So he should be fine.

Well,you got me.I just wanna obtain some of experiences for the US account that might be helpful for my CNs,sorry for that.

GreenBean · #16 09-11-2009

OK: thanks for that. But I got really worried that if you were making the account in China & using VPN to 'look' like you are in the USA, there have been lots of problems for other users. More than 3 have had their monies kept by paypal.
THanks again, alexzin. I do appreciate this

I'm using the same Paypal account that I've always had, even with 4 or 5 previously banned accounts. Of course I changed the email to the new one that I used for my current primary account and in almost 2 years have about 300 transactions on it without incident.

^^^^^

Not sure why this is working for you?

I don't recommend using this technique. It has been proven 100's of times on this forum this ABSOLUTELY does not work anymore.

Definitely not recommended if you want your Ebay account to have any longevity.
