a geat idea on how to get a new paypal and ebay account that won't be suspended, ever
 

I am going to try and set up a paypal and ebay account in China. I believe that Ebay China are not as strict of the nitty gritty as Ebay US.

As for Paypal it's even easier, you don't need a social security number.

Who is with me? :D :D :D

But then you can't sell in the USA I don't think. And also buyers will be afraid of you seeing the China thing.

It indeed seems like a decent idea...if you can just get the $ out of your paypal china acct.

Sounds like something my Chinese buddies have tried in the past. Good luck with it, I know it was hard on them.

Hey, well I HAVE a Chinese bank account, and they are so easy to make I don't stress about that. So, I can withdraw to my Chinese bank account (tried it before). I feel so stupid! The answer was in my face. I wished I thought of this before I created 5 other accounts just so I can sell 5 items on each. I'll let you all know if it works. I already have it set up 50%. I will do the rest tomorrow.

And, yes the China listings appear on Ebay US too.

Well, I thought about this but then I see all these Chinese buyers still getting bids. They charge $89.00 with $22 shipping. I charge $99 with $8.00 shipping. So, basically I will just list at $79 with $25 shipping and still lose only like $5 but it's only the beginning, after i build up feedback I'll let it go to $89

Hi

this works from almost all South-East-Asian countries. Even for me in Thailand it is very easy to open as much ebay / pp-accounts as a like.:D
Just have to be prepared for the utility-bills once money flows in:)

Hope you enjoy your stay in China!

Cheers

have you gone the China routeyet? If so how is that going? I am thinking about doing the same thing if my new account get suspended.

Hey well my simon gift card will be delivered today and then I will sell stuff starting today. I already have stuff uploaded on auctiva. hehehehe, SCREW EBAY

Delivered.. Why didn't you get a virtual card.. Those are instant..? and fromwhat I'm hearing , ebay is suspending anyone that uses a simon card

It this True!!! Ebay is suspending anyone that uses a simom visa card!???/

hey, they aren't suspending me with simon cards? I have one account created 1 month ago with simon and it's fine. I also have 2 others with simon...

This is interesting...so if we create a SE Asian paypal...asian details etc...we should have little problem withdrawing funds to the bank account. We can just invoice buyers at the end of listing. Do they place the same limits etc on them? I like the idea...wouldn't it work then just get a postal box in say Hanoi or Beijing, opening bank acct, then paypal and good to go??? let us know about withdrawl limits on the Asian opened paypal accts. Good work! If anyone needs gift cards for registering I have an obscure place that will sell gift cards taht work just fine you can register online etc. Happy to mail one out for you if you need one overseas especially for the leg work you're doing!

But then how are you going to explain why a package supposedly shipped from China originated somewhere else?
