Made Mistakes Buy Want To Be Legit
My original eBay account was created in 2003 and I used it up until 2010 before it was shut down permanently. I was young and made mistakes - nothing bad, but stupid listing violations, VERO violations, etc.
I created a new account 6 months ago with the same paypal and home address, but changed the spelling on my first name and used a different home number. I started slow, but have been averaging $10,000 in sales the past 4 months and have received calls from both paypal and ebay praising my sales and asking if there is anything they can help with.
However, now that I can see eBay is a great opportunity to supplement my income, I am worried that those two accounts will be tied together and the new account will be shut down. Actually, after reading through these forums and the stealth guide, I don't understand how it hasn't already been suspended. The new account is totally legit - just buying low and selling high on electronics. I'm a powerseller with 100% feedback.
I really want to use eBay to make money, but can't afford to go "all-in" with it knowing my account could be suspended. What do you guys thinks would be the best solution? I could probably just have my wife open a new eBay and Paypal account with a new PO Box address and telephone number, but I'd prefer to keep her name off things. I want to do things right and actually make my eBay sales into a legit business. Do you think a new Paypal account with a new eBay account with an LLC and EIN would be the best route?
I really appreciate any feedback. Thanks!
