i need help with ebay/paypal question
 

hi i have a question and i hope someone can give me a few pointers.
i sell stuff on ebay from time to time.I want to know this

can you set up an ebay with a giftcard and then a paypal.If the paypal is registered with just a giftcard and no bank account can you still send money up to the 2000 limit or whatever it is to another name.So I have the ebay and paypal in nonsense names and only sell until I get the 1800 or so,then just basically abandon that account.I wouuld need about 5 of these.The paypal bank account verify is my problem and I am tired of opening up dozens of the stupid bank accounts and prepaid cards.I was useing the etrade method but it doesnt work anymore.

Welcome to the forums.

Through reading around and testing, I still feel that an unverified pp account is tough to operate with on eb - you never know when you get limited and have to rinse/repeat with new accounts.

I know of that eTrade method (I did not know it does not work anymore) - why don't you shell out a bit of $ and get a Virtual bank account (VBA) that accepts the microdeposits to confirm the pp account? Sellers here will offer that too. That's one good route to solidifying your pp for selling.
