Paypal and smartphone linking
 

Hello,

Is it safe to connect my new account to the smartphone that had been previously connected to an old limited account?

How to properly do that?

Thank you for your answers!

I'd guess depending on the permissions set on the PP app, it would likely have access to the mobile IEMI/serial number and a few other things that make your mobile device unique. Once PP has collected that info, it's best assumed that any account(s) your use on that same smartphone would be linked.

Is there anybody that knows for sure?
Are there anybody who uses stealth accounts on their smartphones?
If not, how do you guys keep up with multiple accounts and do the correspondence and take addresses?

What I want to say, that it's the best way to have your pp account on a phone, since you can get a real-time notification when the payment is made, so it's easy to keep up with the sales

As long as you use browsers and not paypal app, you are fine. Also log your IPs.

Never use an EB or PP app. They pillage your phone for info and mark it.

Web browser is okay.

what if I already did use the app?

My phone is kind of infected right now and that means I cannot log in to the another account even through the browser?

If I had already used pp app for an account which is limited right now, can I log in to the other pp acc through a browser? Do I need to make a factory reset or smth?
