Replace PayPal on eBay with another stealth one to receive payments
 

I'd like to keep selling on a stealth eBay account without interruption (without the needing to upload docs to the linked PayPal account which is going to reach limits soon). And no Managed Payments here.

What if I open a new PayPal and then change the old PayPal eMail address (in the field of the eBay listings where you can type the Paypal eMail address where the payments go) with the new PayPal eMail address?

And I could leave the "old" PayPal already linked to pay the eBay fees ...

Am I in the right direction or are there any alternatives?

Ebay will ditch anything related to paypal as seller so only bank can used now.

eBay would suspend your account sooner or much sooner. They can tell when you add a mis-matched PayPal account.

The new stealth PayPal would have the same name/ surname as the old stealth Paypal ...

@IMrich The eBay is not on Managed Payments neither will be

what I mean is ebay is removing all withdraw option for paypal as seller
so your problem for paypal stealth will be soon gone since you can't withdraw money on "paypal" (you should read there new policy on payment)
you can only used bank it just takes few days or weeks to implement in other country.
honestly I my self I never have problem on PayPal withdraw if you apply all stealth teknic that needed you will not be in that problem in the first place.
anyway good luck

Thank you, I know, but am reaching the Paypal limits before being invited to Managed Payments (that's why I need Paypal yet ...)

Please, I still need a solution for my problem

I have never had an issue with Paypal and mis-matched names and rotating paypals on ebay accounts. Kinda moot now though, not sure you can sell 20k before being managed pay or not. However, i guess it's possible.

It used to be OK in the past. We used to affix new PayPal accounts to orphaned eBay accounts. Sadly, it no longer works for us. It seems something has changed right about the time they introduced MP.

Correct me if i'm wrong but in another post recently you said it's still possible if the name is the same but different address and obviously you don't link your paypal account to Ebay.

It is still possible, even if the names differ significantly. Here's what I've noticed:

A. Stealth eBay + New PayPal in any name = eBay suspension, eventually. The chances of PayPal getting suspended are small.

B. Non-stealth eBay + Stealth PayPal = No eBay suspension. The chances of PayPal getting suspended are small.

We've encountered the outcome to both scenarios above severally so it hasn't been a one-off experience for us.

My suspicion is that eBay runs a check at some point thereafter. Whether this is caused by adding a new PayPal or speeding up sales is what I do not know.

In recent times, I've offered advice to add a PayPal (with a slightly varied name) to folks who had announced they have a legit eBay account while trying to make the jump to MP. The name variation is merely a proactive ruse to keep PayPal from keeping the funds should the PayPal account get suspended. Jayne Lithgow will have less trouble getting her money off a suspended PayPal if she was actually Jane Lithgow.
