So, experts, IF eBay account is still good (Stealth Acct) and PayPal is limited...

celebrityphotos4you · #1 08-19-2016

...because Paypal wants a SSN or EIN...

If you don't want to give them either, is it best to

1) Start over with a new eBay/PayPal pair?

OR

2) Link up a new PayPal account with new bank information?

empirestate · #2 08-19-2016

You can either do any of the following.
1. Give the eBay account to me
2. Open a new PP and use it with the good eBay
3. Forget about the eBay and start fresh

But if you could ONLY choose one....

Most everyone will say you can add a new paypal long term. Could last a day or a few months plus it will have the same limitations as a new paypal account so you have to take it easy.

The answer is BOTH 2 and 3 of empirestate's chart with focus on number 3. 1 is 100% up to you lol

Nyco · #5 08-20-2016

DO NOT add a new paypal to your OLD ebay. they new paypal will be limited within 48-72 hours. the ebay & paypal account you have now thats limited, your options are to Supply the info they ask or wait 180 days for the funds to be released. you most likely will have to wait 180 days

create a new ebay & paypal and start over NEVER mix different paypal's with different ebays. they have to work hand in hand.

when Paypal limits your account. what information are they asking for. i may know why they are limiting you. I've learned the common obstacles as to why they limit the accounts

In my opinion, we should set only one Ebay with one Paypal.
Don't link to new Paypal with old Ebay.

Thanks for replies. I do have other stealth accounts, but I guess I'll just have to "retire" this account

applepbc · #8 08-20-2016

retire it for the rest of the year, use it again next year. or link a different paypal.

both options work well as long as your current paypal isn't limited

celebrityphotos4you · #9 08-21-2016

Nyco,

My Paypal was limited after upgrading from a personal account to a business account and suppylying them with an EIN account with genuine information. Granted, I still use that EIN because PayPal isn't the only form of payment I use (I have a merchant credit card account), but I'm limited for PayPal.

rsot · #10 08-21-2016

Why can't you do the EIN OP? Just asking for clarification...

celebrityphotos4you · #11 08-21-2016

For my situation, when I inputted information for my EIN, the next action for PayPal was asking me for the last 4 numbers of my SSN. There is no way to bypass that screen unless you cancel altogether or continue with the 4 numbers of SSN.

Then they ask you for the legal name associated with the EIN.

Less than 48 hours later, my PayPal acct was limited.

Is it even possible to get EIN for a stealth account?!

bjammin · #13 08-22-2016

This is my thought process on your situation:
You have a good ebay account, so why not add a new paypal and ride it out until they are both terminated. I believe that you will eventually lose that new paypal. But the question is, "how long will it take?" I have done this before and it has lasted 6 months. Others have reported that it will last longer; others will say shorter. But still, why waste a perfectly good ebay that is probably getting instant payments? If you do create a new paypal, do not use the same info as the other paypal (you probably already knew this, but just in case).

EIN is obtained via real info on the IRS website not stealth info - quite a few posts about this...when JUST EIN is required (Not SSN)

I think we should start with new paypal
but this is not the permenant solution for all

Thats why I usually don't like this kind of fourms, this is 100% bull****.
How many times did you experienced this situation yourself?

I did it 3 times, and never benn limited after 48-72 hours, never!

I understand the OP question, because my ebay is very strong, 20.000 feedback, top rated seller, etc, so start new ebay will need at least 3 or 4 months to get same sales. Is not that easy "just made new ebay" this probably is okay for young ebay accounts, but if you have very good ebay account, is not an easy decision.

My accounts have been limited after 4-6 weeks, but there is no way to know if it was related to ebay linking. I guess they have been limited because I sell "dangerous" items, not because I linked to same ebay account.

Greatboy · #17 08-29-2016

My ebay account is working good
but paypal suspended twice
now using third one it will be risky ?

@trepsig Your a ignorxnt young grass hopper I mean did you even proof read your post my advice is 100 % Good because Ive experienced it all through trial and error. you say " My accounts have been limited after 4-6 weeks, but there is no way to know if it was related to ebay linking."

you dont think ebay checks to see what paypal account the funds are going to? you dont think ebay checks what your selling and collects data about your account? And you Wonder why your accounts are being limited? hahaha. I follow a strict set of personal rules i learned from trial and error. and now my accounts NEVER get limited. and @trepsig what do you sale.. because Im sure you dont make 100% profit on EVERY Item you sale..

Oh young grass hopper you have much to learn
