Ahem. I already have two ebay accounts to one paypal at the old address. Frankly I seem to have bodged it all up. Certainly compromised the new address. Now I wonder if I should completely cancel the new pp and eb then change the address on the old ones. In view of what I am selling do you think this would get the account flagged?

If all the infor is real then ring PP and explain it to them.
If you cancel without any explanation your other accounts might get red flagged.

By the way what were you selling?

Branded shirts. Perhaps I should just let sleeping dogs lie. I'm using the new account to buy the occassional item anyway

once they have the info even if you change cancel it they will keep it forever

think about it the answer is simple

Not to me, but I've already proved that I'm stupid!

OK fellow members, I give up, I'm useless at subterfuge. I need someone with a devious mind to help me out of this hole I've dug for myself. The options open to me as I see it are:
1. Close the new pp and eb accounts then transfer my old account to new address
2. Let the new accounts to rot and transfer my old account
3. Leave the new account to rot and leave the old account where it is
4. Use the new account for purchases only and leave the old account where it is
5. Ditto but transfer my old account
6. Telephone pp and explain I put the wrong date of birth in TWICE. Both when I filled in the initial application form and when I confirmed the details

The most important consideration is to aviod compromising the old account which is my bread and butter.

old acc is in real details - right? so leave that alone, assume you lifted limits on it already

second account is in new address, real name, another dob, you can either submit info for this one or leave it to reset limit yearly, sell on it a little and use it to buy.

do not call and draw attention to yourself, no need.

as mentioned, there is one element you are not considering and it is simple.....you have to get more sneaky mind-set.....

new future stealth accs are an option.....

You've got it. The old account dates back to before 2007; went abroad for a few years and stopped using it; came back and traded immediately without any limits, no questions asked. I just worry that something will happen to upset the apple cart and I'm stuck without income.

your whole income rests on these 2 accs? it is a bad idea to let ebay be your only income regardless...but certainly some back ups would help...
