Acquired Pre 2005 eBay Accounts - Question on PayPal
 

I was able to acquire some old eBay accounts that were used as Buyer accounts only and opened pre 2007, one pre 2003. Before everyone asks me how - they were family/friends accounts.

I was not able to however get PayPal accounts for these. I did not ask for them either - selling activity would warrant tax issues for these people.

Anyway, If I opened a business paypal account with a different EIN # for each and upgraded the corresponding ebay account to a business account with the same information - would this be OK?

Thanks, trying to avoid selling limitations. Will be selling no VeRO items.

I would just leave them alone and open new stealth account for yourself. Those early accounts really arent different than new ones anymore. as soon as you start selling they will get the same limits as any other one. I have tested that to death on my old accounts that I come across from early ebay days.
