Multiple accounts on family members? High value transactions
 

Hello guys, nice forum you have here. In the past two years I bought items from ebay and sold them back to ebay. I would buy the average item for 400 usd and sell it for 1000-1200. I usually sell 2 items/month without without paying to much attention. I usually search on ebay for 30min day and I do not invest to much time.My account is in perfect condition. Now i have bought some items for 5000 usd and they have a resale value of 15.000+ (I already sold and earned 3500 usd)

The thing is that I do now want to get in trouble with paypal for these high value transacation. I also do not want them to ask for a Tax ID. In my country is very complicated to start company and since you start it, taxman will show every year and it will harass you. I would pay my taxed but than I will appear in the system.More than that the current low does not allow you to buy from ebay, from private sellers and export them.

To avoid that I was thinking to create 3 accounts on my family members, i already talked with them and they are ok with it. The thing is that I do not know if paypal/ebay could trace link the account. I will access them from separate computers and separate IPs.How ok do you think that would be? As long as I will make no scams or other SH%# I wont get in trouble? Woudl they suspect a thing if my 75 year old grandpa opens a paypal account?(the truth is he`s still watching some pornhub:)) but paypal would be too complicated for him)


I decided to invest more than 30min/day because i would like to save some money. And there is lots of potential with this kind of items and it would be shame to waste it. I used to sell and make 1000 to satisfy my needs (vacations, sports, motocross, techy stuff) but now i decided to step up the game and save some money. So I will list more than 4 items/moth and in order to do that I think I will require more than one paypal/ebay account.
