Buyer account question....

[ebaystefi]

Is it safe to use an old buying account of mine on ebay if I am currently suspended through my selling account? Can I get suspended for buying too, and if I use my paypal account is there a chance of loosing it too for using it to buy on ebay with?

Is there a chance, yep.

Most of the time ebay doesn't suspend you for just buying... but when you start selling they'll knock you down.

I've found eBay is doing some harsher stuff on new 0 feedback buyers. I'll have some who bid and then don't pay and act kinda like they were there just to cause trouble. When I report to eBay they bid to cause trouble, well eBay often suspends them just like that. Maybe they found ⊗⊗⊗⊗ contact info, who knows? But eBay has been tough on them in recent times. Though I haven't had a 0 feedback buyers who left me negative for five years, but negatives from the ones with a bunch of feedback.

not really for buying
as long as you dont get any unpaid strikes

however alot of bidding activity, and your account will be suspeneded straight away

And if I use paypal for those purchases? bad idea??? can they get my paypal account too?
