Purchase new acct but then what? Bank?
 

I am wanting to buy an account --now I guess I am very confused on once I do that and I want to get paid, and the pay pal is already set up--what information does PP have bank wise, and if I open up a new bank acct, it will have to have my true address--so wont that flag pp that hey wait the ebay acct is suspened and then will be linked?

No they will not. You only put your account number and sort code that you input on paypal.

They only see your real name if you let them take money from your account.

You keep the stealth name of your PP account when entering bank details - PP wont know true details unless you give it to them...

You do need to make sure though that the bank account youll use to withdraw your funds doesnt have an issue with mismatched names on deposits made into the bank account.
There are several threads that discuss this exact topic so do your research as to which bank you should and want to use.

Chase, BOA, and PNC are good for mismatch names

Santander is not one of them fyi, I learned this the very hard way.

On the contrary Santander current accounts work perfectly, no mismatched name problems, haven't tried any of their other accounts but I know the current accounts, or at least the 123 type, have no problems at all.

Just realised u are in US, my comment obviously for the UK, didn't even know you had Santander in US and realise it will be very different to the UK version!
