Adding my wife
 

I am getting (2) new accounts setup to grow slowly. I also purchased (3) aged seller accounts. I was thinking of using my wife to open a account. Different address, trac phone, separate bank account, separate user computer account VCC etc but her name and SS. She has never signed up for Ebay to Paypal. Bad idea?

Any way to get linked if I follow the above?

Thanks.

I'm also wandering the same on this!

You can! If you want to is another question all together....

Even though your married I understand your credit remains separate. Your SS numbers are different. So if Paypal does a 1099 it is reported on her SS number and then when I file I file as married joint so I stay legit with the IRS...just have to be very careful there...

Anyone else currently doing this?

Agreed, even if I was married I would still have rather gone the EIN route. I don't like getting other people involved in these kind of things even if it where my wife, etc. But yes, it can be done.

I sell only clothing. Some Vero clothing. So not likely to be too risky. I thought the wife account would be a good idea. Since we're married what effects me effects her anyway....

Only a minor thing: same surname.

What about address?

I'm not seeing two different entities that could make really good stealth working.
:juggle:

There are lots of people that share the same last name so not sure how Paypal could match that. As for address I would rent a mailbox from the UPS store and get her a separate bank account. She has credit cards only in her name for use
