Changing stakeholder on MP? Convert back to personal?
 

I have a handful of strong accounts under a business name (over a year old with much healthy sales), and I'd like to change the stakeholder info. Specifically Id like to remove the current stakeholder and replace with a new one.

Has anyone tried this? Without getting in trouble?

Furthermore, has anyone ever tried to convert a biz account BACK into a personal account? What if I were to try to do this right after changing the stakeholder info. Curious to see if anyone has any experience with these methods !

You can't change a business account back to personal.

There is no option via account settings and even if you ring them they will not override it.

info change is possible if account is not yet verified and no ID was uploaded

converting to personal is impossible

forget the conversion OP - just new stealth account creation is in order

what if the account is verified and ID was uploaded? I just want to add a stakeholder. And then possibly remove the exiting stakeholder

Best thing is to create a new personal account in new stakeholders name, ebay allows multiple account's.

You can change a stakeholder/beneficiary details.
I have a newish Ltd company business account, not yet been asked to provide any docs, at what point did they request ID from you?

Yes I'm curious too at what point did they ask for id?

You can do it, but if you ever get MC011 you're playing a guessing game on what ID to send. These things are always stored somewhere within eBay data base. Send the wrong ID when they request it and they'll suspend you. I would suggest add someone as stakeholder, wait a few months then remove the person you want too. Thats the least risky way. I have never done this myself.

I had to do a verification once twice In a short period of time and what I did was argue with the supervisor and he said that he can't go back after 90 or 180 days I can't remember what it was ..said it was a security issue...but what stops one from getting a new ID in a new state I have 3...makes me wonder if I should get them renewed.
