Paypal, Ebay, and "Linked" Accounts
I'm not sure where the thread went that addressed this. I can't find it anymore. Might have been jerked when the imposter threads were edited. Anyway, I still have these questions that were never fully answered...I'm I'm looking for a definitive answer. Anyone who knows or think you know, please chime in.
1) In linking accounts, does Ebay tend to look more at the address than name? What about Paypal? Does it really matter if the names don't match? Do the addresses need to match? Which is more important, or is it both? If the address isn't yours, would that not be a problem (from ebay or paypal)?
I wanted to create a new paypal account with the express intention of linking the account to an ebay account. I have reasons for this. But I'm concerned that having a made up name on my paypal account will cause problems later if the account is ever limited. Also, I understand that using a VCC on a newly created paypal account won't work, as they'll ask for a security number on the back?
2) Is this true, that you cannot reliably use a VCC to open a new paypal account? If not, is there another way around it? Please explain.
Again the intention is to create a new paypal account and link it to an ebay user name. Can you actually do this (and get away with it) if you have a real name on the paypal account, and a different name on the ebay account on a linked account?
Please Help! I have major plans here and they're all on hold right now until I get this straight. Thanks! |
