Linkage for using same picture?

[thebrigri]

I have a good ebay account but ppal was limited for some other reason.
I have setup a new ebay and paypal account but in the stealth guide it says I could be suspended by ebay for using same picture.
would this apply to my case as well? I mean it's only ppal and not ebay that has issues with my previous account. And I really hate to take 2000+ pictures again and watermark it. :(

You are probably a little bit safer, but it is possible that you could be linked in a manual review...

You COULD be - not 100% but the risk of getting suspended on picture link...is it worth the risk? Base your decision accordingly.

Yeah i wouldnt use the same pictures i agree with these guys. No point risking your account for a the of taking a few extra photos. Also to be extra safe be sure to strip the data from them.

Look - you have gone to all the trouble of new id, new address, new CC, new Bank account - why on earth would you use the same pictures?

All you have to do is take them into PS, alter them slightly, save them as Tiffs, then open them and save them as JPEGs - simple

Why would you want to use anything the same? Unless of course you like creating new accounts - then it's OK

Biggunn is right, you most likely wont be linked automatically but you can linked by a manual review. Happened with me once. The guy on the phone was telling me how "it seems the same pictures and documents was used on a previously suspended account we had "Mr. Richard" ". He said my name like i was caught red handed haha

Or just use 'BatchPurifier' to skip the save and resave step.
