Did I skip EB buyer requirements? (useful)
 

Hello, I just bought something from EB (A tablet), and I clicked the BIN button, but the Buyer requirements appeared since I don't have a PP account linked.

Well, I said Damn!, but just for curiosity, I pressed the Bill Me Later button (To pay with credit card or something), then it took me to the checkout page with this Bill Me Later button, but above it, the PP option was there, so I just switched it to PP and paid for it, voila!

Good Idea?, Bad Idea? I always buy stuff so, should be cool right!

So what pp did you use to pay for it if you dont have one for this eb account?

I have an unlinked PP account that I use to buy stuff from EB, It's unlinked because on this EB account I used to have a link PP account that got limited years ago!!.

I know that's a red flag, but somehow, I have like 3 years doing just fine, buying stuff, getting feedback, using that PP account for freelancing jobs, etc, etc.

Actually, once I mentioned this situation, I'd be pretty surprised if they somehow link my accounts (Not sharing IP's or cookies). I'd be surprised for the lapse of time they let go, over 80 transactions, lol.

:faint:

I sense this back-firing

:rip:

The link can be caused through eB (new PP used for old eBay with an old PP banned account)...sigh. Well time will tell if the transaction goes through ok.

Dont be surprised if the seller says "Hey your payment is on hold - I cant ship" followed by your new PP going...limited...but hoping it wont for you.

All the best.

Lol, it could be GreenBean, you can never be sure with these guys, but anyway, here's the whole scenario.

I had a PP account A that I used with an EB account A

Then I had a PP account that I used with an EB account B


Anyway, EB account A got linked with EB account B
PP account B got limited

At this point, I only had a "good PP account A", my main one, the one I use for freelancing transactions and other stuff.

So I opened a EB account C that I never linked, but when I buy stuff, I just pay with my PP account A for it, probably they are linked already, but I don't try to cause much trouble.

Never messing IPs, I'm from Mexico and I think my previous accounts were from there, but this new one think I'm from the US, not even sure about, hell, not even sure of all this situation.

100 buyer feedback so far, so if the mighty banhammer comes, so be it.

More or less this how I did it.

^^^^ That made my head hurt. Good luck.

Nothing useful that I see.

Nothing much more polite I can say either.

oh wait!!! I thought of something

Methods in the OP will link accounts.

HIGH risk of limitation.

Not useful and dangerous.

Simples.
