Disassociating from an eBay account - advice needed!

The eBay accounts are of secondary importance here as I said because I’m not able to do much with them currently, but I do buy things on there so I don’t want to lose my buying account. Without going into too much detail, I have been ill for a long time but hoping to regain a level of health to be able to sell a little bit in the future as going out to work a full time job may never be on the cards. So it’s really just safeguarding that. I don’t see why I should get banned or suspended because someone else is prepared to risk it. So that’s the reason for that. I realise you’re suspicious of this thread and I’m not surprised to be quite honest, I fully realise how dodgy it sounds. Just imagine being involved! Im not here for the same reasons as everyone else I’m actually trying to avoid getting banned and going down the stealth route ideally but mostly, as I’ve explained, to dissolve any dealings with the other person due to legalities as we’re on very different pages.

I am getting legal advice yes, the rules around eBay and PayPal however are different territory so I’m trying to get a full picture so I can make an educated and informed decision.

I appreciate your feedback.

I don’t particularly want to get suspended from eBay either it’s just more hassle I could do without and especially not for the sake of someone who clearly couldn’t care less about me. I am seeking legal advice also, but it’s a difficult one as none of it is particularly legal.

If I thought closing it all down would be the end of it, that’s 100% what I would do. If letting him have it relinquishes me of any involvement, I’d do that. Not sure that’s possible though given the whole thing has been running through my PayPal for 3.5 years. He knows there is a chance the business account may get shut down if he takes ownership of it but he hasn’t acknowledged the fact that I may be penalised by eBay and get any future accounts banned (this is what I have read elsewhere) I’d like to avoid any comeback at all ideally as I’m basically just collateral damage.

If you dont want hassle later with regards to eBay, then most definitely take that back too. Unless they are willing to perhaps give you a share of their business, at which point you could work something out together where there is incentive for you to allow them to use your account.

If the business is running smooth, receiving 10 to 20% of profits each months doing nothing but letting someone use your eBay account isn't a bad deal. If they don't agree to that, then clearly they don't care for you, just take the accounts back.

I really don't get it.

You said you have a new surname? If you do not want these accounts to be used or continued, just close your PayPal and eBay and start new accounts under your new name. Forget the old ones existed and then you have what you want?

What is all this 'investigated' concern, are you being investigated? Is that why you are really here?

Do you have access to these accounts?

You can ALWAYS buy on eBay, they very rarely stop that.

You can close any account you wish, there is even a 'close' function in PayPal and eBay.

When you start your new accounts they will be 'soft linked' within the eBay realm - the same way a family member would be who uses the same network/computer to log in would be, but thats no different than people in shared houses like at university. (Unless you change IP addresses and format your computer etc, basic Stealth principals)

Just close your accounts and start afresh or do as Play says above, take the income. If its been running for three years like you say, it's probably a successful operation.

For once Tincan is right, you can't officially 'transfer' your PayPal I dont think anyone has suggested that, but you could let it continue and take a profit and still open a further one in your new name for your own personal use. If you don't want the vague liabilities of doing that because of your 'investigation' issue, then close them down and begin new accounts and start using them to build up history.

I think everyone has now said just to close them.

Mikey can you just either whatsapp me or ring me if you wish to discuss this? I think it’s already been firmly established this is you, I did wonder if you’d be able to help yourself in light of the recent advice. Stop gaslighting me, it’s the worst form of manipulation and you are exposing yourself to all on here. The mind games are exactly why I’m being thorough and trying to cover my options. At least have the balls to admit it’s you.

You know exactly why I wouldn’t go into business with you, aside from the fact I am claiming benefits, so are you. Its also the many other things you are involved in. You’re a liability and you lie through your teeth - as you are proving right now. If you really insist on catfishing me here I can go into detail with all the facts? Shall we do that? Because if you keep this up I’m happy to publicly talk about the lot. Now stop being a jerk, man up and speak to me directly. You’re not as clever as you think you are. I was actually going to contact you today to sort this BS out once and for all but I keep forgetting I’m not dealing with a normal person. Sorry to be so blunt but it seems you can’t take a subtle hint.

I don’t want anything to do with him he can’t be trusted at all. I don’t know if you’ve read the thread but Pathos here is the person I’m talking about. He’s trying to manipulate the **** out of me and thinks no one has noticed.
