First of all hello to all members, this forum is just what I've been looking for, for current situation, and possible future ones.
Already found some very useful infos here, but I would like to hear more about a specific situation.
So, I have products I'm planning to sell on eb-ay an et-sy. At this moment inventory is not huge, but could grow in near future.
I'm having an aged ''vanilla'' pay-pal and eb-ay account, which was used only for buying. Never had any problems with it, and would like it to stay that way. It has name_surname e-mail attached to it as only e-mail. I'd like to have shop_name e-mail, not a name_surname e-mail for transactions with buyers. Do I just need to add new e-mail and/or make it primary?
I've read a lot about suspensions on both eb-ay and et-sy, so what would you do if you were about to start selling? I would like to keep it maximum legit for a start (I will not sell high risk/copyrighted items), but also to ''prepare field'' for future, if I get suspended for any reason (and the more I read, I see it just must happen, sooner or later, if you're doing any good).
About eb-ay, I know it is linked from the start with current accounts, but what about et-sy? To make an e-mail just for et-sy, and not to make any payments (bills and fees) with pay-pal, and rather use gift card? To use pay-pal just for withdrawals. Will it be suspicious for them?
I know there are some noob questions, but I just want to know more from experienced sellers and stealthers, what's the best way to start. I'd like to keep stealth as a backup plan, but also not to make it somehow harder now. Any tips would help.
