multiple buyer accounts

[ftf101]

I buy all products that I sell on eBay directly from ebay and then resell them on ebay. I do custom things to them to make them worth more money. My question is does ebay look at multiple buyer accounts as a bad thing? I only have 1 stealth seller account with good ratings and about 5 buyer accounts with all the same info. The reason I do it is because my main supplier on ebay has a limit of how much each ebay buyer can buy from them. I have been doing it for about 5 months and havnt had any problems yet but does this look bad to ebay. Again only 1 seller account and all 5 buyer accounts use same paypal address as seller account.

For the most part, ebay doesn't put many restrictions on buyer only accounts, unless your filing charge backs or causing disruptions you'll most likely be fine with that setup.

Have you contacted your ebay seller to see if you can buy wholesale off ebay?

Yes they won't do it nor will they change their setting so I can buy as much as I want on one account. What im doing now works great just want to make sure that ebay doesn't care about multiple buyer accounts.

same paypal address?



So you have linked yourself already.

Not the account I just said well done for looking after is it?

You may be on perilous ground here.

How have you got 5 accounts all with the same info and none have been shut down?

I do not believe eBay will shut you down for the same info on a buyer account. I am not too sure they will do it on a seller account as long as you are not breaking rules. You do not get suspended just for having linked accounts. It is when you break a rule and have linked accounts when they throw hellfire at you.

This is really good information.

I have been doing it for 5 months and nothing has happened yet. I am not breaking any rules and find it almost impossible to break any type of rule on buyer accounts when i am just buying. Yes I dont care about the accounts being linked as again no rules are being broken on these buyer accounts and I run my seller account top notch. Ebay state right on there website you can have multiple accounts.

Ebay loves buyers. As long as you don't give them any trouble they wont give you any trouble.
