13 Year Old Ebay Account, but no Paypal
My old business partner lives in Florida and told me he has no more use for his eBay account. I have a legit electronics business in Los Angeles and want to use his account. It's 13 years old with no limits. He gave me his login/password but I have NOT logged in yet. I have the ebay stealth guide and have read everything, as well as many posts on this forum. He has cleared out his account information on ebay but now I'm worried about changing the account info. I decided to keep his first & last name on the account, as well as the user name. As far as address, I see 2 options: 1- make a PO box with a real street address in Los Angeles or 2- buy a mail forwarding box in Florida. I know I can find a stealth address in my area with his last name, but the I can't accept returns.
As far as Paypal: I see the only option is to create a merchant account with a business name/EIN registered under my name.
The other question is the CC. I can buy a vanilla visa for ebay but for paypal, I think I'll need a business account/CC registered with my name.
For IP, I have a T-mobile dongle which is dynamic, but some IP locator websites show the geographical location as Los Angeles. I don't mind switching to a dial-up if there's no geo data. I was also told that cellular based ISP like a hotspot will not show any geo data, but when I tried to tether on my cell phone it still shows T-mobile Los Angeles area.
For phone number, I bought a new cheapy netzero phone from walmart with 100 minutes.
