Friends Ebay account
 

I am in a pretty big predicament as my account that had decently large limits (around 5-10,000 items/$250,000) was restricted indefinitely today.

I had over 2000 items listed and this is how I make my primary income.

I'm curious how to proceed with using a friend's account who actually lives with me but isn't one of my connected accounts as of now.

want to make sure I do everything by the book as his account currently has 100% feedback and I am in desperate need of an account with 100/$5000+ limits.

I know this may be a stupid question but if I was to start listing on his account could I use my paypal email for payment purposes or would it have to be in my friend's name?

in advance for all your help in this stressful time.

Not recommended to use your friend's account.

If his account has been used with the same computer, you are now linked.

Just will not work.

One word you must learn quickly is LINK. If you use that paypal that was on your suspended account, you are linking yourself.

Everything will fail. Avoid this.

Dont use your friend's account.

:nono:

You can't Mix and Match Ebay and Paypal accounts, this isn't Stealth. As GreenBean pointed out, using your friends info is a bad idea all the way around.

If you want to get back you need to learn that nothing can be linked and thus whatever you use for stealth must be NEW. This applies to either making your own stealths or if you purchase them from forum sellers.

Too many ways to sell items or liquidate them until you can get some solid stealth accounts going.

Whatever you do, do not use a friends account because one, you will lose a friend soon, two, they will end up getting a 1099 based on your info above after you sell 200 items and 20k and they will owe taxes etc on your sales.

Not a wise choice at all.

Horrors stories here prove this is a major mistake.

Are your friend's account(s) on the same IP? same computer? You could be linked MUCH worse than you think...

Read stealth and understand before going further
