can you link multiple ebay accounts to one paypal
 

hi someone have experience with multiply ebay accounts using one paypal account?
for example if i use 5 ebay accounts and adding 5 emails to one paypal accounts.
that would work?
If one of the 5 ebay account would get suspended ebay will link the other ebay accounts as well?
i use different IP and setup for each ebay account.

You can add them but you really shouldn't.

Just stick to a single eBay to a single PayPal

Thx for the quick response.

But did you test it. Adding for example new pp account to a old ebay i run one since 2-3 years not an issue. But already a used pp adding new email then attach to a old ebay account where the pp got limited.. should work?! On top adding 5 emails for 5 different income stream from 5 different ebay accounts.

Don't recommend doing it, better off just keeping it separate.


If PayPal sees 5 different payments from 5 different eBay accounts they may find that suspicious..

Might work, no telling for how long though.

It’s been tested many times

It works fine for a while but eBay do limit accounts or split the selling limits when they see the accounts are being run by the same person

Another problem is if you get suspended in one account you get suspended on them all

Quite a few posts on the forums about the impact of doing - you know that this is not good stealth.

Doing this causes natural linking - will it be good for longterm? Never can be 100% sure - better to operate linkfree

Thanks for the answer. Yeah paypal is wired at the moment or i doing something wrong.
They just shut 4 accounts down within one week for 0 reason. 10-20 usd sellings.
I have of course different set up. Didnt transfer any money.
Will make another post about it. I have a feeling they have a good system now behind it to detect same habits.. or something like that...(machine learning)

Usually its a pretty basic error that you may not even realise your making that is the cause of a limitation

I have done it for 12+ years now without issue. Friend is at the 8+ year mark doing it. I have 3, he has 5. All linked to the same PayPal.

I'm not saying its a good idea but in some cases its fine.

Just because you haven't been burned yet doesn't mean the fire isn't hot.

PP's can accept funds from multiple emails, true.

These accounts are now all linked forever, also true.

When one fails, the rest will burn as well.

Just a side comment, in the old days when I was able to use the 'real me' on EB & PP I had everything running into one PP. Guess what happened when EB burned my first account? So I know personally what will happen.

Yes, if one ebay account is nuked then all other ones linked to the same paypal will be nuked too. Even if it doesn't happen now, it'll happen soon or later.

There's a reason why the ebay stealth guide never tells you to do this.
