Created Ebay UK and asking to link spanish paypal

gcman · #1 12-07-2013

Hello!
I wanted to ask the following questions regarding ebay / paypal. Let's see if anyone can help me.
I have created an account on ebay UK (VPN)
Can i add in this account a Spanish paypal to receive payments?
I have made payments for example with Spanish card through paypal (no signup)
I could use that account created in uk with uk ip used in the future from a Spanish IP?
thanks for your help

Don't use VPN for eBay. Use VPS.

You will have an issue if the PP address and personal details do not match the EB address and personal details.

I would avoid ever using a UK EB with a Spanish IP. It can only ever lead to bad things in the long run. If you want a UK EB, you need a UK IP and a UK PP

thanks for the vps
We will give an example, a person who changes and decide to move to another country can not continue using the account of the country of origin? I have sold many residents in united states and accounts created in other countries.

If you're goal is to receive Spanish currency, you can ADD that currency as a receiving amount on the UK pp...

My objective really its add spanish paypal to receive payments (because its more easier to me create spanish paypal).
I want sell from my uk account on ebay.uk or ebay.com but receive payment in my spanish paypal.

As we have said, to do this you really need a UK (for EB UK) or US (for EB US) PP

You can create a Spanish EB, link it to a Spanish PP and then list on EB US and UK, but you will be subject to international listing limits.

Are you Spanish or a UK expat now living in spain.

gcman · #9 12-08-2013

im spanish living in spain!
at the moment im working with spanish accounts for selling around all the world! and its ok! only now more estrict paypal hold payments.
i have united states accounts too using to buy with spanish credit card and at the moment i dont have problems (i have 3 united states accounts) in future im planing have united states accounts for selling with them.
And im planing to have different countrys accounts for selling with them! my intention its selling with ebay accounts created in different countrys and use them with spanish ip (its not necesary link paypal accounts, i think i can link spanish credit card to PROCESS MY PAYMENTS TO EBAY) and include spanish paypal to RECEIVE PAYMENTS FROM CUSTOMERS.
The items I selling are "conflicting" and there is a lot of sellers competitors!** My real intention is that my competitor sellers and buyers does not detect such that all my accounts are "Spanish" because im selling similar products in all my accounts!

**if the problem was just ebay not think there were so many problems. The vast majority of the problems are created by own competitors!

You will into problems straight away using a US or UK EB with a Spanish IP

You also have to accept PayPal when selling on EB UK, so you will need to have a PP UK

gcman · #11 12-08-2013

normally in all ebays you will have paypal to accept payments! but to link on ebay its not obligatory (in spain for example) in state of paypal account can link credit card

I operate a Spanish Paypal with a Thai eBay and have been for about 12 month and had no problems, I was asked for ID at one point but having lived in Spain for 20 years before Thailand it was no problem - all stealth by the way.

gcman · #13 12-09-2013

Sausage thanks for you answer!
i will try to do it with other countrys ebay accounts! (if im lost the accounts, will not be a problem hahaha just have to create new ones, and learn about the experience)
And normally i had a lot of customers buying from me with accounts differents than the country they living.
I will imagine always have to keep some kind of cautions (but for that will try the experience, sometimes you have to learn to swim in quicksand, and for that you should get into it hahahaha)

No you don't. I use a UK eBay and Paypal account, list using it on multiple ebay stores (Mostly UK, US and AU) stores and sell worldwide from outside the UK and have done unmolested for years.

That is fine, what you cannot do (or at least cannot do for a long time) is run a UK EB or PP account off a Spanish IP address, or link a EB UK with an Spanish PP which is what the OP is asking

What you are doing (or I think at least what your trying to say you do) is use your UK EB to sell on other platforms, such as use your EB UK to list on EB US, which is something a lot of other sellers do and there is no issue with that.

JRaynor101 · #16 12-09-2013

No, I do that. I rarely visit the UK, I've not been in years - my UK EB/PP are operated exclusively from a non-UK IP. Or is there a particular issue with Spanish IPs and UK accounts?

JamesNorth101 · #17 12-10-2013

@JRaynor101 - if you are not in the UK then you need to change your flag to your actual location. Leads to misunderstandings otherwise

with experience, I think there is the possibility that the IP control is less demanding than ebay some time ago now, but not mean it's easier, it complicates least one side but the other more complicated.

i think this information its really a truly informative news : )

JRaynor101 · #22 12-10-2013

I should note I use the account exclusively outside the UK. There's no UK address anywhere attached, despite it being an eBay UK account and linked to a UK paypal, which does have both a UK address and foreign.

I can't add foreign cards and banks to the UK paypal account, but I do have a second Japanese Paypal account for that purpose.
