Just A Few Questions
 

Just a few questions I have thanks in advance for the help.

1. When I first started my stealth ebay and paypal account I linked ebay and paypal together because it said I had too. But I unlinked them later and have been selling the same item as I was before without the accounts being linked. Just wondering if its better to have the accounts linked or unlinked I pay my ebay fees with the stealth account as one time payment.

2. Is it safe to use ebays and paypals shipping service for printing and purchasing shipping labels and services. Just because ebay just announced for Canada 25% off shipping services with canadapost if you use there service.

Hello Spencer,

Current advice is to do as you are now i.e. pay one time/with a vcc and don't link to PP for fee payment.

And it is fine to use the paypal postage printing service - as long as you keep all the stealth rules in mind.... in fact it can be a plus as it demonstrates you are actually shipping your items.

paypals shipping service is good for several reasons, as captianjack points out, it shows you're shipping the items. Often, postage is a little cheaper because you'll get the companies online rates.. I use it for UPS and USPS in the states. The only downside is that if you need to ship through a different courier, you have to do it separately.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Just wondering for the one time payment I'm paying with the paypal account that matches all the info of the ebay account but there not linked is this okay. And also in some listings categories you do have to link so is this okay when they ask you too. thanks

eBay owns paypal. Whether you link the account in the account settings, they know the accounts are together. Save yourself the hassle and just link the accounts together. Also, I have no idea what you're trying to do. Can you be more specific with your objective?

okay so just link the accounts together then and I was just saying that for some categories you have to link your ebay and paypal account together why is this and does it effect anything.

It relates to high risk categories and just means you have to offer PP as a payment method on items listed in those categories.
