can I login to different paypal account with same IP and User account
 

Dear All,
recently I asked my two friends to setup their ebay seller account for me, they have successfully linked their ebay account with paypal account, and start selling my staff. my question is becuase I have to process all the packaging and shipping, so can I just login to their paypal account doing printing shipping label from my own computer. ( I have New IP and computer that never used on ebay, and I will not login to their ebay account, just for payapl shipping, can I login two different paypal account with same computer account everytime, will ebay find out?)

thanks for sharing your experience.

I don't think it is a good idea to log on 2 different paypal accounts on 1 IP x-P

Not a good idea. Your EB/PP needs to have there own windows user and there own IP's Think of it as EB/PP are all the same people with different names.

The right way
EB1/PP1 on its own windows user account and ip
EB2/PP2 on its own windows user account and ip

Do not do it like this
EB1/PP1/PP2 on the same user account with the same ips
EB2/PP2/PP1 on the same user account with the same ips

I know you're not supposed to do it, but I do. I have 2 accounts that I go on my husband's computer to do paypal only for printing out labels. In my mind, my justification is what if the accounts are 2 different people on a library computer?

Both accounts are active (knock on wood!), so I don't know what would happen if one was banned, if they would ban the other one for being linked.

@Slick,

That's the (potential) problem. The accounts have been linked. If one account got into trouble, the other could get into trouble as well. Guilt by association :tears:
