If you used their address and this person is willing to lend you their ID and a bill should a limitation come then yes it is a good sound basis for a long lived account.
ok thanks, one thing though, his dad was suspended on ebay, so ichanged the number on his address. do you think we would get linked? Also i thought it would be easier to edit the passport and utility to just switch a couple numbers on the address. tell me your thoughts please.
Should be OK. Not ideal with them (I imagine) sharing the same surname and the account address being so geographically close but it seems everyone has someone in the family who has been suspended from Ebay these days.
