Your main shipping address for purchases
Obviously the Registration address has to be ⊗⊗⊗⊗, but how can you run a proper buying and selling account without the payment address and the primary shipping address being your actual real address? How am I supposed to have anything shipped to me or have customers know the correct address if these are all bogus? Can the 2nd two addresses be your correct info just not the Registration address?
Please help! |
Hi Keith,
All three addresses need to be ⊗⊗⊗⊗ if you are setting up a new account. You would only need to do this however if your old Paypal was put on restriction. If your Paypal if fine, just delete any old email addresses and put in a new one. Use the new email address to accept payments in your auctions. As long you never link the accounts you should be OK.
But, if your old Paypal account is currently limited or suspended, then your info has already been flagged on Paypal's side.
I would look into Green Dot pre-paid Mastercads. From what I understand they come with a checking account and routing number for direct deposits. You will still need a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ physical address.
I would not worry so much that you cannot buy things on Ebay, unless buying and selling was how you made a living. If you do buy something just email the buyer and say you just moved last weekend.
Not sure if Paypal now requires a ss# or not when signing up. That may be the only stopping point. Paypal never had mine. I upgraded my Paypal account to Business over a year ago and never finished the part that asks for your ss# and website address. Mostly because I didn't use a website. Somehow I was still upgraded to a business account and 60 days later I had a debit card.
Unfortunately, I must share, my first and only Paypal account was limited yesterday. This came 5 days after my Ebay suspension. It was also "indefinite" with no chance of reinstatement. $65 somehow magically show up in there though and they let me transfer my balance to my checking. That was all they would let me do. My debit card was even canceled. Basically they kicked me out on my ass and asked my never to come back.
I've realized that for my needs I need Paypal.
I need a merchant that people trust, most of my customers are newbies
I need immediate payment required.
I need to be listed on all of Ebay's websites internationally. I think I have to "ship worldwide" to get that and I have to link my accounts to get that.
I am going to try Green Dot today or tomorrow and start a brand new Paypal and Ebay account. I'll let you know how it goes.
Does anyone else know of other pre-paid credit cards that come with a checking account and routing number?
