New account or the one I have
 

Hello all I was indefinitely suspended in 2011. Tried everything at the time to get unsuspended and could not. Since then I have had a buying only account I use for my business for about 13 years. It has 6514 positive feedbacks as a buyer. From 2011 to now I moved my business location and changed phone numbers. So my current account is using my real name, address, phone number, etc. I tried a few weeks ago on a burner laptop at a starbucks on wifi to log back into my old account and it does not exist anymore. I heard maybe 6 years ago ebay purged a bunch of inactive accounts and etc. I have bought ebay stealth and even bought stealth accounts on here before. However I would like to just link an account to my real LLC and conduct regular, honest, safe business. Do you think after so much time I am safe to do so? Especially since I have never been on ebay managed payments before. Should I just try to activate selling on the buying account I have now? Should I try opening a new selling account with my real info?

In this case, eBay still generally has your data, just try it and create a new account... it will most likely be blocked again.

you can activate but personal first , do LLC after a few months of selling

Re: New account or the one I have
 

If I were you I'd keep the accounts you bought from the seller in the forum separate.

Then make your own account with your real info.

So you'll have multiple accounts this way

The best thing you should do is have accounts to sell and to buy...
separate the accounts, also avoid linking them

ebay may not like that have same buyer and seller accounts for dropshipping reason ,i will keep the accounts separated

Re: New account or the one I have
 

always a good practice to keep buying and selling activity separate - many ppl on the forum including myself do this
