Creating new account similar to banned one?

[Burger Box Man]

Hi I was just looking some opinions. So I had my personal account banned a few years ago.

Would it be possible to create a ebay and paypal account with a variation in the name (i include my middle name). Address just change street name slightly but keep postcode. So i could use real docs to lift limits?

Thoughts?

Name and DOB would need to match the real docs

Just the name and the DOB would be an easy link for PayPal or eBay

Ok so a no go there then, thanks for the reply.

You could use your exact name, but everything else would need to be different to prevent linking

You can use the same name and DOB but your address would need to be completely different.

If you have an ID like a passport you use that but they will log the passport number so you won't be able to use it multiple times

A name and a DOB itself is nearly totally unique combination.

Even a common name like John Smith, there is a very very slim chance 2 were born on the exact same day.

Yep, name and dob alone is enough to create a link.

Just had a quick check, there are on average 13 John Smith's born in the UK everyday.

Wow... That is a lota John Smiths! I am pretty amazed by that

The British public needs to be more creative!
