Opening up a new account question
 

I had my own ebay account which I opened in 2004 which I used to use for mainly buying and selling the odd thing or 2. I then opened another account via a friends name and address as we were both going to sell things from that account (this was in 2005), we stopped selling and that account lay dormant for a few years.

I started selling ebooks (when it was allowed) on my personal ebay account and someone vero'd me a few times and stupidly sold a personal item that also got vero'd so my account was suspended indefinably.

So I thought ah its ok I have another account, I logged into the account me and my friend had made and changed the name and address to my own, but I only put an initial as my first name. (i did all of this before I came accross this website, i didnt change ip's or anything, god knows how they didnt suspend that account too)

So I still have this account to this day, It needs to have a "cool off" period as I received a few negatives over christmas and I have been put on a 50% selling limit.

I was wondering, would I be able to open a second account using my address and the initial? and link to the same paypal or would I get caught out?

My brother has tried to open a new account from this house and it got shut down because it said it was linked to a suspended account.

If you are going to be opening any more accounts I would follow the full stealth method.

Doing anything else would be severly pushing your luck!
