Thats the message i got in Turbo lister when i tried listing the Item worldwide. What is a workaround for this? I am pretty sure i'll get more bids with worldwide offering... Thank you

link paypal to ebay just to let you post than you can unlink them and listings will be fine...this what I do and is working.

muie_ebay - Do you have to do this every time you start a new listing or is this a one time deal for some kind of verification that will be kept under ebay lock and key? Are you finding this when listing in other currencies (on other sites) or just the main US ebay and offering worldwide shipping?

modee it worked for me! for 3 months. just remove from paypal the email address which is linked to ebay. You can add up to 8 email to your paypal. they suspend me for not paying fees

no matter site I list I must link paypal to ebay.

and yes! I do this for every listing

Ok so a little bit of confusion here...which do you do: Remove the link after every listing? Or remove the email from the account? Actually, since the only linked ebay account that was ever associated with a suspended account has been deleted some time ago, I think I'm pretty safe about linking. But it always helps to know how things are done just in case for future reference.

What I'd like to see done is to first link my good paypal for a few transactions just to get the ball rolling and while this is happening, create a new account and after some time, remove the email from my good account and put it on the new account. This will just be for the link. Then, I'll provide my good email for payment in the listing. After re-reading all the posts up to now covering this, I *think* this would be the best way to go about it, but if anyone can confirm or deny this, please do.

And actually, if you already DO have another paypal account established, all you would need to do is to link THAT paypal account and then supply your GOOD paypal account email in the listing payment area, right? It's been said that you could just give them a bogus paypal account and yet somehow avoid being paid there, but that has yet to be confirmed.

There's no reason for this unless your ip doesn't match your country, etc.
