2 eBay accounts link to 1 Paypal, with different information

[evicktd]

So, I've been reading a lot and have been getting many mixed and scattered answers, so I decided that a new thread would consolidate it all for anyone that is in the same situation as me.

Here's the situation:
I know that Paypal will accept payments from all eBay sources, but the question is, will the eBay accounts (#1 & #2) link due to the fact that they're sending payments to 1 Paypal account?
http://www.aspkin.com/forums/subscri...html#post74952 In it HWGA says yes. (I do not have access to read the whole scoop).

What happens if I've been "auto-paying" my eBay fees to Paypal?

Also, what if the second eBay account was purchased from a verified user on this forum with totally different information? Do I change the information to match my PP or leave it as is?

The reason I have this question is because PP now issues 1099Ks, and I have a good standing PP account with an EIN, but have a limit on how much I can sell per month. Can I use two seller accounts on one Paypal without linking them or is it impossible at this point? Can you even accept payments to a Paypal account different from your eBay account address?

eBay account#1: Name#1/Address#1/CC#1/email#1/IP#1
Paypal account: Name#1/Address#1/CC#1/email#1/IP#1&IP#2
eBay account#2: Name#2/Address#2/CC#2/email#2/IP#2


If the answer is yes to all of those questions, share here on the forum.

Short and to the point the answer is NO.

Proposed method links everything.

The link is evident

Thanks for the rapid response. So now the question is:

Will eBay penalize you for selling on two accounts? Because of the implementation of "selling limits," it seems like this action may be punishable more recently.

So, if I make an eBay account purchase on this forum (eBay#2) and accept payments through PP#1, would I need to change billing information/credit card information on that account to start accepting payments to PP#1?

If so, will that raise any red flags? Would selling on a second *linked* account (different IP) raise any red flags (because I'm accepting payments with the same account at the same time)?

A lot depends on what you are selling. You could get limited if your info does not match up to a TEE. Your limits could also get spread across the 2 accounts (tried and tested).

But if you have 2 eb accounts - it`s good to keep EVERYTHING separate...make a separate pp, verify it and act wisely.

I agree with keeping everything separate, but then there is the whole SSN# and/or EIN number 1099K situation. If you're operating out of 3 different PP accounts, that's 3 numbers. If there's a way around it, please point me in the right direction.

If these questions can be answered in the paid subscriber forums, please let me know about it. Has eBay Stealth been updated since when I bought it (2009)?

I totally forgot I had a old ebay account that I never used. I received an email (have not logged into this account) saying that this account is associated with another and now I have a 90 restriction because the other account was restricted (they really did "suspend" the second account) I did create a stealth account and so far so good. My question is when my 90 days is do you think it would be safe to use the restricted account too since it have a good paypal account (this pp is associated with the the suspended account)

I make it a strict rule to disbelieve the spoken word of these sorts.

They want me to accept those claims, they can put it it writing for me.

Strangely, when you put them in that spot, they back down...
