How quick will paypal limit another account?
 

Hi, basically my paypal has been permantly limited, but my ebay account is fine.
Im stuck with about 80 items that i want to get rid of. As soon as ive sold them, i wont be selling any more stuff, havent got the time, and cant be bothered with the hassle. Will probably take 2 months the sell them, maybe a bit less.

My question is, if i linked a new paypal to my existing ebay, do they cotton on pretty quick to limit that, or am i better off making a new ebay and new paypal and try seling them that way? Basically, which one option will give me the most time to sell my remaining stock?

Recycling accounts is a risky approach. There's no strict time frame. For some it last hours, for others it last weeks.

New ebay, new PayPal is most recommended option, as its the safest long term solution.

I should also add, when PayPal's are linked to previously suspended accounts, getting money out after the 180 day period becomes even harder.

A new ebay and paypal is your best option. If you 'recycle' accounts you really need to know what you are doing to give yourself the best chance of it lasting long term.
