2 pc, 2 paypal accounts, 2 ebay accounts same house
 

I am living in a house with my friend and each one uses different pc. I have my own, he also have his own, and we are using the same internet connection-obviously.

Now I started to have a paypal account and want to register to Ebay -as a buyer -and who knows someday maybe a seller-

He is already a seller/byer in Ebay...And I want to ask will this be a problem? Does Ebay aloud two accounts from the same house?

Thank you very much for answering! I hope there is not a problem...but better asking before registering in Ebay

Please anybody?

2 eb and 2 pp at the same address with different people and different name and dob

theoretically there is no reason why it shouldnt work

...................for a while

asking for trouble though in my humble opinion

making totally unlinked stealth accounts is the way forward

you will at some point be linked via same address & same IP. It will be fine until one of you comes into ebay's crosshairs....

A lot of people have this arrangement, and they never have any problems until one of them gets limited for some (usually very stupid, on the part of eB/PP) reason. Then the whole house of cards comes tumbling down... and niether eBay nor PayPal will care that the accounts belong to different people.

Thank you all for your replies....We have different pc but we are using the same internet connection ..

Then that links your accounts right from the start.

But......... which country does your friend use now?

Which country will you buy from?

:spy:

do not log in to eb & PP at the same time...

why ?

do you know something i/we dont ?

im constantly logged into both EB and PP at the same time on all my accounts

is there any particular problem with that ?

thanks

Unless one of you is using an vpn connection to hide your ip connection then you will both be register in the same ip.

(a) you could have same accounts but in contrary to each's own personal info.,
(b) paypal for security hates this but they will give you more hell if in the past you are linked to limited accounts.
(c) done what can you do already just go w. what said here.

You may already be linked then but your activities are not rough to cause your accounts to be banned. If anything happens to one account, then the others could be affected by association. THAT is part of the linked principle

I have a USA account and a European one from Lux. Both real accounts in my names. But I noticed when I sell in one category, and use the other account for selling in the same category they take it down and send me a warning saying I can't list on 2 accounts same category. But this was over a year ago. Now I am selling it at times here and there for 3 day auctions and it passes without warnings. I use google chrome and firefox. Same IP same computer. But I don't want to risk it. I do it from time to time.

I use 1 browser EB and PP for the same accounts. IF anything call them up and explain that both of you guys share or both of you guys have access to the same factory or wholesaler to make money etc.

And got 2 more friends in the states who both have selling accounts under the same IP address but no problems that I know of. And they sell used DVDs, used Games, car parts new. Computer stuff etc. Both buy and sell with the same accounts. I guess it really depends.
