Old eBay account
 

I've just recovered my very first eBay account that I made in 2008.

It has 0 feedback. What shall I do with it?

My current eBay is a business account. Shall I use the 2008 one as an individual/private account?

Go slow...buy stuff and build cred first

Ok I'll do that.

Is is possible for the to link my current Paypal account to the 2008 account? My Paypal account is currently linked to my business eBay account

No.

Do not link them.

One goes down you lose them both.

You need backups etc and now is a good time to start.

No way.

Do not risk damaging this 2008 account :nono:

Keep it well away from what you have now

DO NOT DO THIS ...dangerous.

Btw. How did you recover this 2008 acct? Was it suspended/banned? If so for what reason? Just curious and wondering if there is hope for me..

The eBay account is my real name.

I searched it up and found it. When I did the forgot my password thing, I had to put in the security answers. I also had to put in my old phone number from my childhood which I also remember lol.

I think I was 11 when I made the account.

Thanks for your advise guys.

When was the last time you used the account?

If it's been years, create lots of browsing history and cookies before you attempt to sell anything on that account.

Whatever you do keep them separate including user account and IP's.

So you are now 15?

Made in 2008 at 11........

Yes, I'm 15 at the moment, 16 in a couple of months.

I have another question.

Will eBay lift the 100 item limit if you reach it every month? I have very good DSRs ranging from 4.7 to 5 and 78 positive feedback, no negative.

I've reached it twice so far.
