recently reinstated ebay account question about paypal email
 

hi heres a question. i was suspended by ebay about 4 years ago for not meeting selling standards (was .10 % over on items not as described) was an ebay power seller for about 5 years. in that time i used a family members account and became another powerseller. only problem was i dont want to make too much money on my family member's account(i do about $20k per year). now my question is since my old ebay account along with my paypal email has been reinstated, should i put my paypal email from my previous account to my family members ebay account? so that my income and 1099 goes to my name and social security number and all income and taxes will go to me? would their be a problem? if its linked does it matter? since both account are in good standing. ive been reinstated for about 7 months and havent had any problems. my limits are 100/$5000 on my reinstated ebay account. thanx for any and all info

all accounts will be linked. All paypal totals will be added together if they are not suspended. If they last if you ever had a problem they all would be shut down.

Learn stealth. Be smart and stop using family members.

i bought the stealth but ive been using this family members account for 4 years and have has zero problems. was just wondering if i put my paypal account to their ebay name so i could sell as much as i wanted to.

Keep them separate. Your reinstated account is most likely monitored closely and if you link and 1 goes down you'll most likely lose both and linking could be the result once they find out someone else was actually you.

I understand only reason why i was even considering it was because the family member one i established now is a powerseller and i sell alot more inventory and make more money.

So upgrade to business and add an EIN.

No brainer here.

yeah you wouldn't want to link your accounts. As far as your family member if it just got reinstated I would give it a month vacation

From the sounds of things, it seems like all accounts are linked.

I'd start from scratch. Read the stealth guide on how to make accounts in a way that doesn't link them together. I can see you've purchased it already.
