Recycle a Skrill Account
 

So my ebay account has been suspended, and before that it was linked to a Skrill account.

I am planning to go stealth with ebay, but I am wondering whether it is wise to link the new stealth ebay account to the old Skrill. Does Skrill share enough information for ebay to identify it is me and ban me again?

What is Skrill? I have been on eBay for many years never heard of it?

the new name for Moneybookers


:cheer:

I'm also interested to know a clear answer for this question. I think it might be working since these are two separate companies. Has anybody here tried linking a new ebay account with a used skrill account?

anybody ? :smash:

Ask skrill if you can use your account with a different ebay ID. You don't have to tell them why.

Noooooooooooooooo. :nono: Do not use ANY old info from a suspended account. It will be linked.


Besides, I just saw a post by someone on here yesterday that said ebay either owns skrill outright or has a majority interest.

but from what I understand, skrill doesn't share info with ebay

Dude, think about it.... you have a skrill account attached to a dead ebay account. This skrill acct has some identifier that ebay uses to communicate with Skrill (ie an acct number). You now take said skrill account and attach it to another ebay acct. How long do you think it will take before the bots find that Skrill identifier that was used before?

gotcha....I just assumed that the token generated when connecting accounts was different each time.
As far as the OP's question, it would be helpful to know if a bank account from an old skrill account could be deleted and used on a new skrill account. I know that this can't be done by the user, since all that happens is the bank account is disabled but not removed. Therefore, when attempting to add it to a new account it states that the bank account is already in use.
Skrill would have to be asked if they can fully remove the bank account.

^^^ How do you like skrill anyway? What is the benefit of using them?

Skrilla is nice as an alternative option but only accepts cc for payment. Not as nuts on pp but long initial hold. Always good to have backup options - some buyers...FEW but some...hate pp too :) oddly enough..
