Activity: 0% Longevity: 93% | | New eBay account limits if linked to existing unlimited account?
I have a unlimited powerseller account linked to a Paypal account. Both are stealth and the Paypal account has tax ID/LLC info added.
My question is, if I open a new eBay seller account, will it have selling limits, or can I link to my existing account and have the new one be unlimited too? Will I be able to add a new Paypal account with different LLC info to the new eBay account?

Man, you are taking a big risk doing that.
Where sellers create a 2nd account to bypass selling limits, ebay has split the limits between the accounts.
ebay co uk has in fact suspended 2nd accounts

Yeah, but adding a 2nd account might be dangerous.
You run a risk of getting the limits changed...
ebay have reduced selling limits on 'good' accounts where a 2nd account has been added

If you already have a good thing going with the current account, I say leave it alone and open another stealth. Why risk a good thing?
With payment processors - both PayPal and merchant accounts - once you exceed $5,000 per month in charges, that is when they start looking more closely at you. It won't matter if the charges are coming from one eBay account, or two accounts.

Hi, thanks all for the replies, I was looking for how this would affect everything. Quote:

| Thank you GreenBean, this is the sort of info I was looking for. Bottom line, too risky to do this.

That account is too good to do this with it.
Not worth the risk.
I am one who will never un any circumstance attached two accounts or any kind or even use multiple paypals etc ever.
I value my long standing accounts too much to even allow eb or pp to get their grubby hands on more then one account at a time.

I will confirm that what GB is saying is correct - you can have limits reduced...parlayed among both accounts...even restricted for risk suspicion...and finally ID verification hit.
I would not risk a good old account with a new one link just to hope for high limits with the new account

A grave error there. | All scenarios have happened to me during experimentation - limits reduced for a series of 4 eb in connection - limits spread on 2 eb in connection - suspension of 1st account when 2nd account with ties was created.

I am getting the distinct impression that eBay is actually worse than Amazon now, in some regards. Wow. OK, I keep this account totally separate. Thanks for the warnings guys & gals.
My apologies for taking 10 days to reply, been in the process of moving (what a hassle!)

I had no experience and "killed" my ebay for an existing limited pp account to it. In fact, this is the story: My eb selling account is just 3-month old, with very good feedback, high selling limit. First i have my pp linked to eb account. When my pp was decided to be permanently limited, I removed it and add another pp. Everything went okay until I contacted ebay customer support to request a higher selling limit (~$8000). ONLY THEN they reviewed my account and found out there WAS ONCE pp account being limited. They wont let me have any chance to explain. They said I can no longer use my ebay account now. I wish I HAD NOT contacted them to request anything, then my account might not be review and suspended now. |

I dont call them period.
I told myself I need tons of accounts up and running and never have to worry about an account here and there.
That was a few years ago and doing fine without a call.
