credit cards used from previous suspended paypal account

steadfastcorporation · #1 08-24-2015

Accidentally tried using a credit card that was once used in an old paypal account(suspended some time by the end of 2014) into my new stealth paypal account.

Attempted to put in the credit card info, and got the message that the card is tied to another PP account.

Am i done for with this? Did i already link the two accounts?

By default they are now linked.....Will PayPal do anything to the new Account, Only PayPal really knows!

Why not use a Gift Card?

Will it still be worth doing activity in this account? Has anybody been in the same situation before? When should i expect a limitation/suspension if so?

Sure, keep using it like normal.

There's no exact answer for that question.....For all you know you may never get limited at all.

Been in that situation - nothing happened BUT I DID move my business to other accounts just in case.

That particular PP is only used for off-eB transactions now...just fyi.

Better to dump this account. Technically, one person can't use other CC details, as it is like guessing a 20 digit number (# + EXP), so not really possible without intentions. You are linked and your account will be dead soon.

You will be ok, dont do it again and take care of that account as it may have a 'small flag' attached to it, nothing major as you 'could' have typed the wrong number in.

I have done this myself a few times and everything was ok

Small flag of "guessing a 20 digit number", yeah! It causes a link, but when will it explode - nobody knows.
