How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

Hello,

I never buy old account, is it worth to try it?

You need to change all details, name, email, phone number, add new bank account.

I believe it's hard to do it without suspension, anyone try it recently?

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

can you change the name?

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

you know what happens if you change the name...potential hassle...

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

an old established seller account will not be able to change ownership , it is only possible if account is a buyer account or seller account which only sold a little in the past but even here there is still risk of suspension

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

I believe is huge risk of suspension too.

But i read you can change the details, but probablly it should be bussines account.

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

That's incorrect. I did this a few months ago no issue.

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

you change ownership today it will require immediate reverification with ID upload

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

But it works, you said above it wouldn't

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

that depends on the definition of "works" as the actual buttons on ebay work for all details incl. DOB , only country can not be changed

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

I think should be able to do it ,if not from the menu will need contact ebay to request the change

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

You said "an old established seller account will not be able to change ownership" which is wrong. I did it two months ago and I have had no issues.

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

ebay do not allow to change ownership of personal accounts , you can change it but on an established seller account you will not pass the new verification

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

Buying an old account is fine, if you have already had sales before it is much better... accounts older than a year with more than 10 fb--
The process you must follow if the account is not American and has Payoneer linked.
1. change passwords and email
2. change phone number

That shouldn't be a problem for eBay.

The seller must give you account cookies, you have to have a good IP

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

What you put is incorrect you just won't admit it.

Again you said "an old established seller account will not be able to change ownership , it is only possible if account is a buyer account or seller account which only sold a little in the past" you are wrong.

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

I see you account seller, how account last after sales?

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

interesting - you changed registration info?

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

You should do it after purchasing the account, to prevent the old owner from taking it over again.

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

we are not in a court here , it is not about wording but the actual sense behind it

you can change personal details on ebay but ebay do not allow to change ownership of personal seller account. so if you legally change your name and provide proof it is fine you can consider it done , of course if some idiot does not decide that changing names is not acceptable and will ask you to open a new account after suspending the existing one

but to a different person? you won't pass verification

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

Ok hun, you could of just said what you said was wrong or not what you meant, but you clearly can't bring yourself to do that. The fact is what you said is incorrect. x

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

I still did not understand , does change of ownership with subsequent suspension count as change of ownership? or only that without suspension?

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

Below is what you put. Are you still saying this is correct? Because it isn't. This is all I am saying. There is no mention from you about personal or business account type.

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

You can change the name,say divorce or marriage.

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

Is this account from a seller here in the forum?

Just wanna make sure the integrity of the account before you do anything

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

I would like only to discuss first, did not check account for sale yet, but i get 1 offer from seller in this forum

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

There are not many risks, generally if you buy from a recognized seller you only have to change the passwords.
real sellers who always make sales will not steal your account

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

speak to sellers from the marketplace and place order accordingly - go slowly and build value in the account

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

It is also a good excuse to tell the platform, but I think it is used a lot these days, I have friends who call eBay and they always use it

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

They can steal your account even the password and phone number changed?

I mean risky of eBay suspension

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

theoretically they could - but authorized ones here on the forum shouldn't...

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

How you can do that? If phone number and password changed? You can't change user name?

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

i'm not going to discuss this further openly but if you think about it....even if all info is changed, the original info is still kept on eb

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

OK im going to add to this just to let people know what i found you are able to do

this probably doesnt count as changing the account completely but i found that when a seller in america wont send to england i can change my delivery name and addess to the forwarding company that then send my parcels to england

so im changing my name....address ....and country that i have my parcels sent to just by changing it in the delivery address page

ive also changed my phone number multiple times and always recieve the verification code without any problems

Re: How risky buy used accounts and it's worth time to try?
 

also ive also changed the country that im in from UK to USA.....

BUT you can only do that on an account you have never sold anything on before because once you have one sale under your belt the country is fixed

and also you must change the country back to your home country before you get paid otherwise they will notice and you will get suspended
