Tricky question

[DegenerateG]

I am left scratching my head re the following and uncertain of its significance. Was hoping someone could shed light on the matter please -

After creating a paypal stealth account successfully and adding a VCC and confirming the VCC all was well. I have then added a bank account obviously not in the stealth name and confirmed that as well ( something I am thinking I shouldn’t have done).

Will this cause problems now - having a confirmed bank account? Which is not in the stealth name. Any advice would be very much appreciated .

That's what you're supposed to do so you're alright.

Confirming your bank account will not give away the name on your bank account.
Your info may be given away if PayPal has to dip in your bank account to recover funds so make sure to leave enough balance in your PayPal to cover any eBay fees.

This topic is covered in greater details in the stealth guide.

Okay from my understanding just don't deposit money from your bank to the paypal to avoid getting your name potentially in risk. But when you connect your paypal to ebay for automatic monthly fee payments would your name not be seen then, suppose you don't have sufficient funds in your paypal balance to pay your ebay fees, then paypal would automatically withdraw money from your bank account linked in order to pay the fees? Hope that makes sense, I just don't want to compromise my real accounts and get them suspended.

What if you pay using the attached VCC which is linked with your bank account. Does that give them access to the bank account name etc?

No - paying with VCC is very different than paying via bank account
