eBay and paypal names don't match
 

Hello, I was curious if I set up a stealth eBay account and used it with my current paypal account will they care if the names and addresses on the accounts are different.

and your account is dead in 5....4....3....2....1....

Yes.

Have you had an ebay account before? Was it suspended?
If so, then if you use the same paypal account you had on that suspended ebay account then it will link to you new ebay account.

I have had an account before but no suspended accounts have ever been used with this paypal account. I still have an active eBay account that I was using with this pp account and it got hit with three bad feedbacks in a row so i wanted to start using a new eBay account.

What were the negatives for?

So should I be okay?

Its been answered. Just read.

It's better to go the stealth way, read up more on the forums.

If I'm understanding this right, you want to link a new stealth eBay account to your current Paypal that is attached to another eBay account.

If that's the case you are allowed to have more then 1 eBay account attached to Paypal as long as the e-mail addresses are different. Your only problem is the different home address. While you may have a different name and e-mail, info like address and phone number must match-up to your Paypal.

Actually, I'd be more focused in your situation on why you got 3 negs in the first place and fixing that first. That's the real problem and the best solution you have. 3 negs isn't the end, people will still buy from you trust me.

In your shoes I wouldn't even bother attaching that eBay you probably can't anyways considering the home address problem and even if you could match-up the home addresses, I still wouldn't attach it. Your best bet is to fix that account it may take a while to get back up to 98%+ but it'll be worth it in the end and make a new stealth Paypal for that stealth eBay you got. So then now you have two assets to work with instead of half of one.

(edit: through a friendly pm I stand corrected the names can match too silly typo on my part :doh:. been out of the game for awhile partying in ASIA)

It might depend on how established the account is... It is possible...

I have...

1st ebay address and name doesnt match pp
2nd ebay address and name doesnt match pp


up and running for 2yrs 3000+ sales

pp is a business account
1st eb is business account
2nd eb is seller account personal

Sorry to be a Pesimist, but PP cares about everything even when they don't seem to. To answer your question, I would keep EVERYTHING the same. It has helped me for over 2 years thus far. Write everything down and KEEP it ALL the same.
Good Luck!

I think you shoudl read up and learn a ton before doing anything. If you got 3 negs in a row the worst thing to do is jump into another account without fixing what you did and making that new idea a habit.

I did this with all my current accounts. Unfortunately one of my accounts got banned, then the next somehow got linked and they put up selling limits so I cant sell a thing. Funny thing though is they haven't banned the new account even though they say its been linked. Makes me think they are taking a guess/stab in the dark.

I've been as careful as I can so I got an idea its a guess.
