I've been using 2 accounts. One got suspended due to too many open cases. It was bull****, but I won't waste your time, since you already know. But they haven't done anything to my other account. I've used both on the same IP and computer for over a year with no issues. Is there a chance they won't link them or is it just a matter of time thing? I already bought the stealth guide. I'm buying an account on here with higher limits, and going to create a few stealth accounts as well. But I'd like to keep that account if possible, because that PayPal is SSN verified already. All help & advice is appreciated. Thanks for your time!

At this point, consider both accounts dead.....eventually the 2nd account will be flagged. You should learn how to Stealth so when you start selling on multiple accounts you won't get flagged.

For sure, I will be very cautious going forward. I have been doing a lot of research, and am amazed that my accounts have never been linked. I had 3 for a while. I was using all 3 everyday, just logging off & logging right back on. Then I had one suspended, and they never link these 2 to that one. I had read that they can link IPs together & suspend your account before, but at that point I had been doing it for so long I wasn't even worried about it. But I've always done good business on there. I sell my own products, ship fast, and kiss ass lol. So maybe that's why I've never had a problem. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced having 2 accounts on the same IP, and getting one suspended, and the other never being linked to it?

Well technically speaking you can have multiple accounts in your real name legally. When it comes to running multiple accounts in different names, etc that's when it gets difficult to run them on the same IP.

MM78 is correct- just because the other account is not dead does NOT mean that there is no link...operate accordingly

I appreciate it. I was wondering if this has happened to anybody, and their accounts were never linked? and if not how long did it take for them to link the accounts?

Yes, I had it happen to me.......I had 6 legit accounts in my name......and my ex-wife had another 1 in her name.......different name (before we got married) address etc......HOWEVER I used the same computer, same user account, and same IP as all my legit accounts......18 months ago, they suspended all my legit accounts but did not suspend her's.

It took me 30 days to get my accounts unsuspended, but while they were down, nothing happened to her's...... I know 30 days is not long in the big scheme of things, but I'm just passing along my experience.

Also, I have one light account that they suspended october of 2013 for 1 case too many (4 in 12 months).....it is still suspended and probably will always be, but my other 5 legit linked accounts are fine.

The last time I signed into that account, it has a box at the bottom that listed all the linked accounts to my suspended account.has anybody else ever seen this?

I haven't signed into that account for over 1 year as I don't want to "trip" any wires! lol.

Yes
Years ago you could COMBINE your accounts, lol When I lost my big personal account they separated the combined accounts, gave them a selling limit, lol

But when I log into my old suspended account to buy or take info from the blocked biders list, etc...
It shows all the related accounts.

learn stealth and buy accounts before it goes out!

I'd like to say that the second account is as good as dead but at work we had a giftware account and a liquidation account on the same ip, computer, etc... Our giftware account had a different personal name but had the same address(work address) We thought that the liquidation account was as good as dead too but its been 5-6 months since then and nothing. Called into ebay for raised limits, nothing. One of my personal accounts with a different address and name and number and everything got linked to the gift shop and was suspended.

So my advice is to be wearey, get another account and eventually move everything over to that. We are still worried that eventually it'll get linked but it still is kicking to this day.
