Would you buy an existing ebay seller account if you have to change all of the info ?
OK, so I have the opportunity to buy an existing seller account from an individual - the problem is I will need to change all of the information on the account - email, phone, registered name, SSN, and bank account.
My question is - do you think this is doable and will the account survive ?
How would you go about it without triggering the ebay closure bots ? |

That is risky. You will look like a complete account hijacker. I had my account locked before for changing the bank, phone number and email. I had a red message on payouts that said. Your account may have been accessed by a 3rd party. Your payouts are on hold until you speak to a account specialist. |

Very risky changing all the info - if you dont have to change the info (with that individual's allowing the use), you could just get the MP working in your info |

| Take the account and change the info slowly over time.
Ask if you can keep the email, and keep the phone on file and registered name and ssn , first start by changing bank. Then months later change name and ssn, then months later email and phone. |

| Did you get a DM from someone in the forum selling you the account?
If you need to change all the info, you might as well just make your own account. |

| Would you allow someone to have access to your account, with your SSN attached? a few months is a pretty long time, to sell a ton of stuff, and have you sent a hefty tax bill. |

| Right, the SSN and name change is the biggie right now. In the past it wasn't a problem, now, it specifically states that any change of name needs ebay approval.
What I am thinking is leave the existing owners information on the account, create a LLC or Corporation and upgrade to business account adding the business EIN. |

| Yes that's exactly what you do!
Then with time start changing over other info. |
