PP/eBay business address
 

im coming to the 1900 limit on an old stealth account that i forgot about for a while and been listing for a month or so

need to send docs in soon

silly me when i set it up i did it with a name variation and a business address

for example unit 7, stealth business park, stealth town

what do i send ?

business bill for proof of address and ?

driving license would have my home name on in reality

or do i send them DL with business address ?

or passport and business bill ?

I would send passport an business bill :thumb:

Not many people have their dl address at their place of business.

Doesn't matter what the address on the DL is. Photo ID confirms identity, utility bill confirms address.

The DL is fine so long as name and dob match pp info. Utility bill will need company address on it.

but wont PP check the DL name and address against electoral roll if it doesnt match ?

No. They check that the info on the docs matches what is on the pp account.

A DL is a perfectly acceptable form of ID to confirm identity. So what if it has your "home" address on it?

What does DL stand for?

driving licence :boink:

I need some coffee me thinks.

:ranger:

lol, schoolboy

I would stick to business bank bill and passport, why give them an extra home address to scrutinize...

Exactly my reasoning. As we know they retain all information, no need to waste an address.

DL is just as good and you will just need a business bill to partner it, will be fine as EBAYORBUST said.

You could always use the DL

Yes dl is fine for private accounts, but for a business account?

Would someone really have their dl address the same as their business address?

Possibly if they work from home but that's not the case in this instance.

My thought are always that info should all seem 'real' nothing unusual to draw unwanted attention.

Also, most eBay sellers work from home so having a business account and your 'home' address isn't unusual but can see what problem the OP has seeing as they have used an 'outside' address as such

Exactly, In this instance as he said in his opening post he has used a unit address in a business park so passport and business bill would be most appropriate.

If you work from home ant that is your registered e/b business address then a dl and utility bill with a home address would be fine.

As I said it all has to appear 'real'

its a good account

no selling limts on ebay

once the PP limit is lifted its a real flyer

needs to be done right thats why im appealing for folks to chime in before i make the step

Keep it all 'real' now and you've got a golden egg.

Good luck in the future with the account. Remember to stay under the radar :thumb:

As I said earlier a DL is just as acceptable on a business account as a passport is. Photo ID is used to confirm identity NOT address. The address on the DL does not matter as eBay would see it as a home address. So long as the utility bill had the business address on it, there would be no issue.

I'm not disagreeing with your point at all, just don't see the need to give p/p an additional address that could well be useful at some future time.

It's a pretty safe bet that they will retain all information from submitted docs so by submitting a dl and business utility you have effectively given them two address.

account limited at exactly 1900

docs sorted

and we wait

1200 in paypal

Good luck with it.

Be interesting to hear how it pans out.
