Bought a friends eBay account
Okay so I am new to the forum and I am glad I have found it. I am from the UK!
I have had about 3 ebay accounts banned in the past, my most recent one was the weirdest. 200+ positive feedback, was in my mums name so no ties to me and was over 2 years old. Suddenly get them asking for invoices, provided them this and they decided they would ban me from selling. Makes no sense!
Anyway, I am back and am wanting to sell again. I have just purchased my friends eBay account which he has sold on in the past and is approx 7 years old.
Am I right in thinking that I can go ahead and change the details, email/address etc to my details and start selling normally again? I have a few questions...
1. Should I keep his name on the account or change it to my details?
2. Can I link my PP to it or should I use Managed Payments?
3. I see people using IPBurger. Do I HAVE to use this every time I sign in? What happens if I sign in using the app on my iPhone? I will be using the account at multiple locations/addresses due to work.
4. Should I create a new user account on my MacBook, or will it be safe to sign in on the same user account?
I have read many posts on the forum saying this is a bad idea. What about if I were to just keep everything the same but change the email and bank details? Surely that is not suspicious?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
