I'm planning to link my et$y accounts

[Jackies]

Hi

I have several accounts under the same name, other details differ, such as account number, address, card, etc

so far, the accounts are not linked, I log in from other devices, different IP addresses, etc
I will soon have to add a VAT EU number (the threshold for one will arrive soon), so the accounts will be connected anyway, but I will now log them into one device,

Ultimately, I will also have to change the addresses on each of them to match the EU VAT registration (unless they don't have to match?)

What is the chance that accounts will be suspended after logging in on one device? later, each of them will have to have the same EU VAT number anyway. Account details are good

anyone done this before? What can you expect?

Try not to link the accounts, if you do you can lose them all.
In any case, try to keep the best account.

I understand what you mean, but I was more concerned about whether the connection itself (by logging it on one device or adding the same EU VAT number) can cause any problems? We assume that the accounts are properly configured etc

From what I have seen before on the forum, it is most likely that all the accounts are linked and that creates a security problem.
I saw it before, I'll try to look for it and send you the link to the thread

once you make the link with same VAT number for example then it's difficult to say 100 percent...there is a chance that they will all continue to operate but if one goes down due to xyz problems...all others could follow suit

Of course, I'll have to link them anyway

then just operate carefully - try not to violate policies, not to have slow hipping, etc - anything that could cause issues on one account

The problem is if you have a separate suspended account in your name bro

Yeah I'm not familiar with UK policies but this seems like a terrible idea. If you can not link them, you shouldn't.
