I am guessing everytime new paypal account and ebay account are made, some kinda hidden number goes into the files, that shows something like so

ebay account---- 12345654321 is ebay id Ratting1982 for example

paypal id----- 12345654321 is primary email account Ratting1982@aol.com

I am just using those numbers as example though... they insert payment tags into the files for those accounts and whenever can just bring up a history of all that crap.

I figure there security system because active back in middle 2005.... I first found out about the linking when it came to paypal. I got my paypal id banned because I was scamming the hell out of people by having them send products to me and if they did not have tracking, I disputed it. after awhile paypal got pissed the hell off and banned me. I had a perfectly working ebay id with excellent feedback. So I used my girlfriends account.... well they banned her too, all because of one ebay id. today, I am much too slick for paypal, I hit them pretty hard now adays, they dont bust balls because of the finacial hit they are gonna feel

The part that scares me is that the primary email is the one that goes back to the other ebay acct. I went in to change the primary and was asked to prove I was the account holder and enter the BA number. I have switched primary emails on other PP accounts but have never been asked for this info, but none of the others were ever tied to a bank account. I am thinking that this is just a safeguard to protect accessing my BA through PP and actually a good thing that they have in place.

Anyone care to elaborate or offer any insight.
