Owe ebay money on one account but still able to list on backup account
 

On my main account I have owed ebay 2k for years just realized I had a backup with a 50k limit that I have yet to ever use. I was able to list an item, confirm my identity and get my bank account connected. Will this account work out for me? I can't afford to pay ebay the 2k right now.

If you have a debt on eBay they are going to collect it from you, if you owe 2000 dollars it is better to forget that account...
Simply get a new account with that money and continue selling.

do you feel that the backup has any links to the old account or did you operate it well via stealth?

Re: Owe ebay money on one account but still able to list on backup account
 

Yes, it definitely is linked. They are both in my actual name. Sorry, I should have made that more clear. I have yet to use a stealth account yet. I have lurked around this forum because I thought I may have to.

What I really want to know is how do i keep this account from getting banned? Can anybody give me a rundown on how to keep a non-stealth account safe? Practices I should stay away from? Items I should stay away from? Or anything else I can do to give myself the best chance for success? I am thinking that I should sell random used garage sale type items. That is the easiest inventory for me to obtain and something tells me that is all the safest inventory type.

selling used items ,taking your own pictures,avoid high risk items are good practice.

But the problem in general is that he owes money to eBay and that can cause problems in the coming months.

Re: Owe ebay money on one account but still able to list on backup account
 

well,he can pay back what he owes,thats the fair thing to do

Re: Owe ebay money on one account but still able to list on backup account
 

used garage and household items...and dollar shop stuff is general safe. for your other questions, reading around the forum will yield tons of discussions

Re: Owe ebay money on one account but still able to list on backup account
 

if they find out the accounts are linked,it makes no difference what he sells/
question,can EBay confiscate his sales proceeds of one account to pay for the other account?

Re: Owe ebay money on one account but still able to list on backup account
 

Consider calling them if you unintentionally couldn't pay that fee a while back with a good reason and see if you can get the account reinstated after paying.

This is one way

Re: Owe ebay money on one account but still able to list on backup account
 

i haven't seen this happen both personally [when I owed money on one account that I knew was linked to other accounts] nor have I seen it on forum posts - mind you, I haven't owed extremely high amounts. Perhaps others who have firsthand experience will comment.

Pretty sure it won’t be a problem once I pay. I just don’t have the money right now.

Re: Owe ebay money on one account but still able to list on backup account
 

In my case I would not pay that money and would try to find a new eBay account to sell.

Re: Owe ebay money on one account but still able to list on backup account
 

My main account also got suspended due to owed money. Then I start selling on my other account which never been used for selling - only created 2021 with some buying experience. Did around 20-30 sales and received this message:
Your selling privileges are restricted!
Can't be sure if they link it with my other account or it was because I sold some dietary supplements ( which I always been selling on the main account as well).
CS told me to contact them in one month maybe to appeal ( they want to make sure that it won't have any cases by this time). which would be 13th / 09.

Re: Owe ebay money on one account but still able to list on backup account
 

Both accounts have same name,SSN ,address?
SSN is one way to link the two accounts.
It cannot take money from one account to pay for another account,but it could tell you if you pay the $2k debt,you will be reinstated,but there is no guarantee it will reinstate .
It could also withheld the sales proceeds from your second account,
You are better off opening a stealth account
