keeping addresses

[grace]

HI..
Does anybody know how long eb keeps information such as addresses stored, I had an account about 5 years ago with my regular information, was wondering if it would be ok to use it again after this many years. I did try searching the forum but couldn't really find an answer to my question. Thank you in advance for your help

Best default policy is to accept that eB keeps info forever. That's why the info on stealth is always useful

Info is kept from the time it first ever goes into their system.

Never believe their claims it gets deleted.

I have had occasions where ebay & paypal staff have told me of changes I made to a really old account.

Do not risk repeating the old info since you are able to do stealth.

Good Luck

Once eBay has it they have it forever. They are a lot like an elephant

And praying the data some how gets deleted off their massive servers/storage is not gonna happen, they have enough space to save everyone's info 100,000,000,0000 times over!

it stays on there even if you delete it will stay on their file as past address.

Yes, this is the case.

users take time to delete info thinking they are fooling ebay/paypal.

But not so.

Info remains on their side for their evil eyes to pry upon.
