Background Story
my wife and i are both self employed and have been selling on ebay + other ecommerce selling platforms for about 3 and half years now. we sell completely different items so we have seperate accounts from eachother.
i do roughly 20-30 k in sales on ebay a month in the off season and anywhere between 50-75k in the holidays. The ebay account is in great standing and has over 4k feedback with a 99.7 % feedback rate and a .05 % return rate , which i think is great considering the volume that is done. The account has a 15000 item limit and 3 million sales limit on it.
last week i recieved an email from paypal saying that my account had been limited Permanently due to selling counterfeits or replicas (which i do not) . I have been selling the same items now for 3 1/2 years and there would be no way i would be able to have the feedback if i were. I do get an average of 5 chargebacks a month but they are all for unauthorized credit card use and i always win them, i did recently recieve a case on paypal for unauthentic item which the buyer open on paypal instead of ebay which i think triggered a human review of the account. But this was the first time an unauthentic case was opened on paypal with over 20000 transactions . When selling anything in high volume customers you will always run into a customer that says the item is ⊗⊗⊗⊗. In my case its an extremely rare occurrence but i guess paypal determined that i was too high of risk .
so here i am on this site, i have already purchased the
Stealth Book and am in the process of reading it. i have also been reading alot on these forums but its hard to tell how much volume people make on they accounts. so i have alot of questions.
1. i understand that its better to have multiple ebay / paypal accounts but for me to be able to do that same amount of volume i would need accounts that would be able to go over the 20k / 200 transaction threshhold.
which would mean that i would need a new po box / llc / phone number / bank account / ip address for each one of those accounts?
I am also a little confused on the withdrawing of the funds , i have read the stealth part if withdrawing and also read the forums and i have seen alot of mixed answers, some transfer from paypal account to another some use the paypal accounts to buy things. What i need is to be able to withdraw straight to my bank account
2. i currently use go daddy book keeping would i be able to continue using it for these stealth accounts without linking them all together?
3. i currently use shiprush to send orders out would i be able to put all the ebay accounts together and bulk ship without being linked by paypal?
4. my wife and i's ebay accounts are both in good standing, would making stealth accounts for ebay jeopardize the ebay original accounts? i do not want to get banned from ebay as well
5. My wife has a good standing paypal account that she has used for 3 1/2 years for her ebay account. i know i should not link that account to my ebay account but what if i create listings on her ebay with her paypal account would there be a way that paypal would know? i understand that there is no long term with paypal since they can limit you whenever but i am looking for a short term solution until ebay implements ayden.
i know this is a long post , i just wanted to ask them all in one place instead of making multiple thread . i am hoping most of them can be answered here
thanks for your help
