Using a Joint Bank Account with Friend's Name, Address, and Ebay/PayPal Account?
Hi, I just ordered eBay Stealth and have been reading these forums this last week since my account had a selling restriction placed indefintely a week ago.
While I go about creating a stealth account, in the mean time I've had my friend sell my items for me- and I've made sure there is no possible links between us. I do not log into my friend's account unless using her computer or a different computer and IP address then my own (though I am aware I could use my computer to log in as long as the IP address is different and all cookies and possible links to my suspended Ebay and still usable but limited PayPal account have been removed.)
I have a second business bank account that I do not use for Ebay or PayPal. It is linked to my primary bank account directly, but not Ebay or PayPal. They do not have any information on this account. I can log in online through the bank website and transfer funds between these two accounts since they are linked through my bank. Again- Ebay and PayPal have no information that this account exists, and I have never used it for Ebay or PayPal.
I would like to add my friend onto this business bank account (as a joint account) so that I can control the funds and have easy access to them. The bank tells me that I can add them onto the account. I can also have it so the account information itself has their name and address on it- this way if they use it for Ebay and PayPal it won't link us- it will have their name and address on it, not mine. To my knowledge, when they update their bank account info on PayPal and EBay they just need the number and their name and address on it to verify. And their Ebay and PayPal account is not new, has a decent sells history, and no expected limitations. They simply would be changing their bank account info.
My question is- would it be safe to use this account for PayPal and Ebay or is it too risky? To my knowledge, there is no way Ebay or PayPal could link it to me if the address and name is different then my suspended account, even if it's a joint account, and it seems that I will not need to have any of my information involved since they can use their name and address for this account when they update their bank account info on PayPal and Ebay.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping a Stealth newbie!
