How to have a buyer account?
 

Hello all, recently my seller account has been banned/suspended permanently. Both Paypal and eBay.

I thought you could still have an account for buying only, so I opened both a new eBay and Paypal account with the same info. The eBay account is fine, but the Paypal is closed for being linked (Didn't even try to buy)

So my question is, how can I still pay with Paypal and buy on eBay (or other sites?).
Should I try to create a Paypal with slight changes in the address so the stuff can still get to me?

ex. Higgins Road = Higgin Rd.?

I mostly want to have an account to keep buying my inventory that I will sell on stealth accounts. I heard you shouldn't buy and sell on the same account, so I figured this was a good solution. I just need a way to have a Paypal account that has my actual address when I buy stuff :S

Any help is appreciated, except for always asking sellers if they can ship to a different address than to my Paypal account, because some just say "yes yes" and then ship to the wrong address anyways.

Thanks in advance!

I made a buying paypal with all the same info as my banned one and had no problem just take it slow, make it one day verify it in a week add a credit card in another week etc

Yeah I know what you mean, it's just that I made it and didn't do anything at all, maybe didn't even log in...Then suddenly 1 -2 days later it got permanently limited.

I would [and do] make the buying account stealth as well. But with an address I can get at naturally. Nice thing is down the road the account can be turned into a selling account when it has some history.

Its a pain, I know. But once these clowns kick us to the curb its stealth action all the way even just to buy.

Paypal and eBay rarely targets accounts that are used for buying only. Just sign up for a personal account and use it as you normally would

FWIW I made a buyer account with blacklisted info as well, and I've already been buying things with it for well over a year.

me too, banned info just for buying, started it 3 months after ban, I did change name to relatives name, doesnt stop post getting there, I would fully expect it to be hit if I sell on it, so I wont

But by making a buying account under banned info you can never turn it into a selling account. Why waste the history? Turning a buyer account into a seller account down the road can be way easier then starting fresh.....
