Unlinking Paypal from Ebay and Using it Again?
 

Though my account has not been suspended I am certainly on ebay's hit list and keep getting restrictions. I am sure a competitor has it out for me.

I do have other stealth accounts and this one is stealth too but a very old one that has been reliable. I have it linked to my business Paypal Account b/c I can get loans...but now that this ebay account is in danger I am worried...

I am wondering if I can somehow save this paypal account by unlinking it
from my ebay account and link a different paypal account. If I do this does ebay still link the 1st Paypal account (the one I want to save) to the ebay account in trouble? Meaning if I then link the Paypal account to a new stealth ebay account and the ebay account that has been getting restrictions gets suspended will they then suspend the new stealth account that is linked to the Paypal account?

Also, if ebay does track the Paypal that was linked - How long do they track it for?

Maybe change the email on pp, then add it to new eb.

Bad idea. Changing email won't help

Doing that you can get a PayPal that will last a few weeks or a few months, but they will still be linked and will sooner or later get limited

What if I never link it to the Stealth account...Can I just use it to receive payments from the listings? Will ebay catch on?

That would be linked still

I unlink and link Paypals all the time, there's no telling how long they can last for, maybe until there's problems with your Ebay account and they do a manual review

Once it's linked, it's linked. Just don't unlink it, it may trigger more flags.

About your account , I"m assuming you got a 7 day or even a 30 day suspension?
If that's the case, it would most likely be the VERO company. So you should rest your account a at least a month or so.

Do you have a couple of ebay stealth accounts on back up? If so, I'd use them now, if not, make them now.

You can't reuse it on EB.

You CAN use it on other sites such as ECrater, Etsy, your own website, etc. So it's not entirely toasted. :)
