will etsy link my paypal accounts
 

Im back on ebay thanks to ebay stealth and was wondering i have an etsy site where i sell hand made stuff on and paypal is the way people pay me and it goes to my old paypal account which is linked to my suspended ebay account, i was wondering can i change it so that im paid into my new paypal account or will that link my new paypal account that is clean to my old one that is linked to my suspended ebay account

better to use your old paypal for your other goods and use new clean ebay/pp pair for ebay now.

was thinking about doing that but it would mean i would have to keep changing my ip address everytime i log on to the different paypal accounts and that would make the chances of me slipping up greater.
i was wondering if paypal know the purchase has come from etsy and from which etsy shop or weather they just see it as a payment from an email address and therefore they would have no way of linking the accounts

This is where that old paypal account can be used OFF ebay. No need to
link the new paypal at all.

with regard to ebay- paypal are not interested in your off ebay sales, you are avoiding an old pp acc because it is linked to a suspended ebay acc, thats all.
Your new ebay/pp pair need fresh info and IP, and do not share IP or any cookies/flash with your old account, otherwise there is a chance you will get linked.

ive got all new info, name address phone etc and fresh ip and new user on my computer so different cookies/flash so think i should be ok there, does that mean i should be able to use my new paypal account for my etsy payments if like you say paypal are not interested in my off ebay sales, or is it a case of trying it to see if it works and if not i will just have to make another stealth account

thanks for all the help guys can i just say its great that in where as on ebay everyone is trying to undercut each other there is a site like this where sellers are actually helping each other, ebay stealth rocks
