How many ebay accounts to one Paypal?
 

I just opened one ebay and paypal maybe a week ago. Is it safe to open another ebay and link it to my paypal?

Why not just open a new Paypal account to match? The further you can separate accounts the better.

With that being said, I have never tried linking multiple ebay accounts to one Paypal. Maybe 2 is fine? Maybe 3? Maybe you should wait until after 30 days? Maybe not. Anyone?

In my experience the safe limit is 2 eBay accounts.
But remember if 1 eBay account goes down the other will follow within 3-5 days.
So be extra careful with your data.

I have each component the same: one name,one paypal account one bank account. Nothing is shared, at all, in any way. Take no chance in having anything linked.

Why have 2 ebay accounts attatched to one paypal? The only reason for doing this is if you are wanting to have different product offerings for each seller account. Or have one account to buy items and one to sell. The only reason to have them both linked to one paypal would be to differentiate activities between the 2. When one ebay account goes down you will take the other with it.

There are VERY good reasons for having 2 seller accounts attached to 1 Paypal account.
Read the forum and you will learn why.

No, that is not that only reason.

I have 2 Ebay accounts tied to 1 PayPal, because if I get a warning for any reason from Ebay I switch to the other account for 90 days letting the 1st account cool and letting the warning expire.

My experience has been, 3 warnings within 90 days on one account equals a suspended account. :rolleyes:

Yea thats what happened to my old suspended account. I just want to be able to sell on both accounts, maybe 2-3 non Vero per week.

I have myself 3 eBay accounts linked to 1 paypal.

are you selling on all 3 of these?

bad idea..if your paypal goes down your ebay accoiunt swill ALL go down..

yes, 1 account I stopped selling for a few days. I received an email early today saying my account was suspended, they removed all the things I sold... makes no sense. Why didn't they remove my listings while they were active, why wait a week or so after they have ended and close my account ?

The other two ebay accounts are still open. A matter of time before they get suspended I suppose.

regarding, all your accounts going down, if they are all seperate ebay/pp accounts, they may not ALL go down. ok just my experience, i used to have about 6 ebay accounts in same real details, all with theri own paypals, when I got suspended some went down due to link with suspended acc but a couple didnt, why? my guess was ip linking, the ones I hadnt been on around the time of suspension were ok, the ones I probably logged in on same ip (before I new about ip linking) went down. I still have them but not used for selling anymore.

As for 2 ebay to 1 paypal, its a good idea in terms of not having the hassle of verifying a second paypal. If paypal in some of your real details, even better reason to keep it, so you can supply easy proof when you reach limits.

However if you sell vero, do not rely on one or even two accounts, go multiple.

I always logged in from my friends house. He never uses eBay... Only received that email saying all my listings that ended days ago were removed.

have been ended early and all fees credited to your account. Your listings were ended for the following reason:

* Account Suspension

Makes no sense to me, there is no explanation as why this happened ?

2 hours later paypal sends me an email saying they no longer able to have me as a customer. 180 days balance limited.

No way around this ? did paypal close me because ebay suspended me ? is there a way to know why ebay really suspended me ? I never had any issues under this account, nor did my auctions were removed while active. They just removed them days later after all payments have gone through and I received a few + feedbacks.

no issues, no violations? Someone at your friends house use ebay?Most forum users know why theyve been dumped, what roughly are you selling?

just to go back a bit, HWGA replied to some of my questions re vero alerts. one other thing, say you get a vero alert and leave it 90 days, can you sell EXACTY same thing again on 91st day?I need to know that....

Never received any violations, just think eBay was monitoring my sales and they decided to shut me down as they items are quite expensive (software) no china news, all real with store receipts and company's return policy papers.

Not one did I receive any warning or anything under that account, they just waited for the right moment to close me, even after sales were made and even after feedbacks were put on my account. Weirdest thing.... could it be a competitor who took track of all my sales and reported them all at once ? who the hell knows, eBay is a sucker.

i think maybe its becausee ebay gets soo many reports that after a certain number of reports on a certain seller item, it just gets shut down. i dont think anyone actually sits and looks at the item (or at least not as much as they used to)

So when you guys open new account, how do you surpass the SSN they want from paypal/ebay etc? Phone #/address/bank?

and you can't just change the email address on ur paypal account?

Not since a couple years ago. :)

unlinked?
 

What about if you have 2 ebay accounts different address both accepting payment to the same paypal address but neither are linked is this ok?

They are now linked. The common factor is the same paypal account. That
made a link

yes but iv used the same paypal to pay on different account before so surely this is the same thing i thought its only when you actually go through the link process?

If however its linked then it should be fine unless i did something to get 1 taken off but for now i should be able to use them fine?

If the ebay account and paypal linked to it, do not have matching addresses, that is a reason for flagging in the future.

thanks for replys neither are actually linked like when ebay ask you to link

Woah! Are you saying you have ebay account A & ebay account B putting monies into a paypal account? And YOU physically have never linked anything?
'Cos if that is the case, paypal/ebay have linked you at their end. Provided nothing goes wrong, you might be OK. But as soon as you have one problem the other ebay account will be affected as well.

I'm thinking of linking 3 ebay accounts into 1 paypal.
Selling different stuff and if one gets plenty of negs, I'm going to let that rest and at least I'm still making $ on the other 2.

So 3 ebay acc to 1 paypal is ok?
I don't really care about the linking, just want to know if it's ok or not.

It's ok but I wouldn't recommend it. You are more likely to get your paypal limited if your bringing 3 ebay accounts worth of money in. Also as you said if one Ebay account gets suspended they will all be.

You will care when you get too many negs at once and lose all the accounts.
Come on, saijiin, you have been a user here for long enough to know that this is not recommended. Here's another thread you may not have read: pay attention to Here We Go Again's posts. I know for a fact he works x2 accounts to one paypal VERY well:peace:

I'm wasn't sure that's why I asked...
I know HGAP works on 2x ebay + 1 paypal, but I'm just thinking well just incase. Because this is the first time I work with 2 ebay acc and it's working very well for me, so I thought if I ever get negged by those competition assholes, I'll lay low and use the 3rd and 2nd acc.

Plus, I don't come here too often.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
My advise.....
Stick with 2 eBay into 1 Paypal.
Just make up more sets of 2 into 1
I personally do not exceed 2 into 1 and it works fine for me.

If you decide to go to 3 into 1 I can not predict the results.

Ok, that's what I"ll do then.
Thanks for the advice.

I would suggest you to link only one EBay account with a paypal account..
