Shared Paypal Account

flipstardirect · #1 09-09-2009

Just a quick question, most of my accounts have one paypal per ebay account, but my really old old account just got recently suspended, and it shares a PayPal with another eBay account. Now both these accounts are really old, and that's probably why they use and share paypal. However they both have different personal details, and run off different IP addresses. My question is, now that one eBay account has gone down, can I touch the other eBay account the shares the PayPal linked to the suspended account; assuming the PayPal account is the only thing in common in regards to personal information?

It's just because this old account has around 5000 fb, and is my main base of 'legit,' non-vero, good record, no listings taken down, selling operations. It had been a few hours now, and buyers of the account sharing a paypal with the suspended account are piling up, and even though I'm managing to process and ship out these items; eventually I will have to login to the account to manage it.

Thanks everyone in advance!

Bad news is they are linked. You know that though.

Good news is you may get away with using the account for several months or possibly longer?

I was in a similar situation until I asked T&S to raise my selling limits on the good account and they discovered the suspended account. I was going great for almost a year before that.

Moral of the story is: If you continue using that account is not to rock the boat, but expect what will probably be coming.

How about if I change the PayPal address linked to my good account? Would that help, or would that act as a magnet to the eBay robotos? :D Thnx

Changing information doesn't erase whats already on file.

If only it were that easy.

Oh lol, I totally forgot the fact they record everything and anything, haha. Oh well, I'll hopefully siphon my business activity slowly and shift it to other accounts over time. Thanks so much for your help!

You know a chick-magnet or flies at the BBQ? Bots jump on that/ Changing info on the account will be very risky.

^^^^^^

Yes, changing info would definitely be rocking the boat and unwanted attention.

So I take it, best course of action is to login/logout, list safe items, avoid buyer complaints, etc . etc.

So in effect kiss up to eBay on that account and don't change anything then. Sigh...

Best course of action?

You already said it in post 5, start moving to another account. The sooner the better instead of slowly.
