Owe eBay fees on stealth account, PayPal is closed
 

My PayPal on my stealth was suspended and eBay wants $900+ in fees from me. I am happy to pay them if they would take them out of my stealth account but they keep sending emails demanding that I add a new card to pay.

I would just leave it, but I have a bank in my own name attached to the PayPal account. Should I call eBay up and explain the situation that I want them to take it out of my PayPal or is it safe to just leave the account be?

What else did you attach to your paypal account besides your (I am assuming real) name? Is the eBay account in your name or a actual stealth (using an alias)?

PP is VERY unlikely an option - you will have to pay with credit card.

It is totally stealth except for my bank

And - what's your plan now then? Again, eB cannot take money from limited PP

Are you planning to link this eBay acct to a new PP?

If both accounts were done fully stealth and the only item connecting to your real name is the bank account then you dont really have anything to worry about.
It will take at least 2 court orders and months of litigation (which they will have to pay for - and they HATE paying for anything) just to get to your real identity and even then there will be ways for you to claim you were not linked to these accounts. From my experience they dont bother at all because of this.
Id say walk away from the whole thing and let ebay and paypal figure out the mess since you say you do have funds in the paypal account to cover those fees. Eventually itll balance itself out between the two of them. Let them worry about the accounting.
