Can i change email for an account i bought that was created in 2017 but not used late
 

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased an account from a friend. The account was created in 2017 and last time it was used was a year ago.

Is it possible to change the name on the account? If not would it be an issue with setting up managed payments later under my name?
How should I proceed with changing the email address on the account?
Also how long before i should start selling?

Thank you in advance

Changing major things like a name can trigger a verification request so go slowly with it and make sure you have you documents ready for the possible request

Start slowly in the bringing-back-to-life process - James is right about the potential trigger

Yeah start slowly. I would do the email first.

I'd say change the account to a business account so it's your EIN that you are using when you need to pay taxes.

Changing account info like this specially in a short amount of time is going to get the account flagged. It'll show as hacked ontheir end if they caught you
