Is it safe to open more than 5 Paypal accounts
 

Just wondering if it's safe to open more than 5+ paypal accounts? Like wouldn't PP be able to link them all because of the same name provided etc?

It's for the purpose of having one per stealth ebay account and want to stay away from the linking process they have

Have you read the stealth guide? If you so, you should know how to make the accounts in the correct manner, so linking won't be a concern.

How is opening 5 accounts with all the same info in any way shape or form keeping with stealth principles...?
Yes they'll all get linked. Doing so with 2 accounts will get them linked.

yes, that's not allowed in their terms of use. You can have one personal account and one buissnes account. Use different names and do not log in from the same device or from the same IP

I run 18 ebay+PayPal accounts currently

Yes some accounts may be blocked sometimes. And you have to start again

You can have hundreds of accounts without issues if you manage them wisely.However, although PayPal would not link you solely based on the name, I advise you to put different names.

How would you know if they'll get blocked or is that random? Like, after you create the account would you get an email saying it's blocked or maybe when you get to the threshold verification process?

And what would happen to the funds on the account as well?

By wisely, do you mean not bring any problems with the other accounts as well as no issues with transactions on ebay?
