Home Confirmed / can i use real address?
 

Hello im a long time ebay/paypal suspended victim.

lucky enough to have a friend who went through all the verification ropes for me to set me up with his accounts. (i then went and added my checking account(s) and withdrawal money to myself.)
i noticed that paypal lets you "add" shipping addresses and will even let you confirm them. but now when you add the address they dont give you an option to change the name. so my name is tony and my friends name is Matt. if i paid for an ebay item using my address, it would HAVE to be using his first and last name

my question is can paypal shut me down, sniff me out via a ship-to address?? my REAL paypal is gone. i used a family members account and they ended up Killing that one too because of the registered addresses matching. but what about ship-to address, do they even care??? i ask because im interested in buying things from ebay, normally im just a seller. i guess the real question is how do i get stuff from ebay sent directly to my completely FRIED w/ ebay-paypal house address? does anybody know for sure?

some say yes but some say that is a no-no. i personally tried this and everything went fine (touch wood). had been using this method to buy stuff around 5 times.

but that is provided you can change the name. here in aussie, sometimes parcels are missed and you need to pickup in the post office, if you dont use your name then you could ask your friend to pick that up for you, just make sure they dont ask for proof of address.

i also used a name variation and address variation, say my name is Tom Harry Peter, I write Tomh Peter, and my address is 1 daisy avenue, i would write No.1 Daicy AVE, normally there is no problem.

The question you want to ask yourself is, why do I want to give them ANY POSSIBILITY of linking any of the accounts I ever want to use? Then act accordingly.

And stop asking these kind of stupid questions.

awesome response stillselling. i can see its all about you isnt it?
