Some tips for linked paypals to ebay?
 

So I have an old paypal that was linked to a bad ebay account, but i unlinked it from that old ebay and 1 month later i linked that old paypal with a new email address to a new ebay and now i got an mc999 letter after putting 1 item for sale that its linked to an old ebay of mine. What are tips to make sure that paypal doesn't link? Change everything or what exactly? Or its no good for use on ebay nomore? The paypal has no problems.

My usual practice is to really take the mickey out of you. I pass today. :pout:


My golden rule is to never put an old paypal near ebay again. EVER.
You should not have done that for long term success of a new ebay account. Ideally everything should be new.

You just became one of the statistics of users caught with attempting to change emails & think that ulinked account.

Doesn't happen that way. In fact more & more ebay/paypal are 'linking' & suspending than they ever did.:deadhorse:

Links are forever. Listen to the GreenBean!!!

With only one PP and one eBay, I feel right a downright newb compared to you guys juggling ten or more accounts.

Well GB and ovidiu might not rag on you but I will ha.

Fandango, you're a member here for quite some time - you have discussed matters of stealth but then you :

That's an "epic fail" in stealth methodology - maybe you got lazy or "experimentation mode" but I consider that quite a nonsense move.

Yea, i love you too man. Go superbowl.

I remember a few months ago the linkage didn't get caught until about about a a month later, but now its almost instant. Well I'll move on.

Well I am sure that it can get through from time to time but why chance it? What I mean is it's all about risk vs. reward analysis. The risk? Trying to reuse old suspended info. Reward? May work for little bit of time but never know when it will go down. Actually, you should be happy it went down RIGHT AWAY - no holding funds, etc.

That's why the risk vs. reward of new stealth info is much better. I would not even waste time doing linking for old suspended info with the change of being suspended or worse.
