What if ....
 

Simple question ....

How long will it take for Paypal or eBay to find out if I was to link Paypal account to an eBay account while each of them having different names and address from each other?

Is there any way that I can change info on eBay account to match my Paypal without being flagged?

The very first day I list on linked accounts they get suspended.

And that's Fandango's experience on this matter.

i have a different experience than Fandangokango, in my endless experiments days it worked, but it doesn't last

Well I think I should try and see if it works, right?

Yea, try it just don't invest alot in it since it will go down.

Sometimes it is best to let sleeping dogs lie. I have been doing something interesting. My paypal account has several different email addresses. I make it a point to clear my tracks after using either ebay or paypal. I have found that just giving the new email address to ebay lets me continue to use the same paypal account that was associated with a no longer registered ebay account. Should I be waiting for the next shoe to fall?:boink:

You might get away with a mismatched address (no guarentees), but a name match is a must.

It could last for some time but (like Fandango said), we have enough `what ifs`to deal with on eb platform so why more?

i second the different emails approach. It works for me too.

Name match is a must - Not really
 

Try this.
Create a new email address.
The true test is to have access to a premier/business paypal account with a different name & address (not different country)
Add this email address to the premier/business paypal account that was associated with a suspended ebay account.
Confirm email address and assign it in paypal as your primary email address.
Do the usual cleaning of cookies, super cookies & cache.
In ebay account settings, change the paypal account email address to the new email address.
List an item for sale.
