Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

I am just wondering if it is possible for my partner who lives at the same address as me to open up and ebay business seller account without any issues?

Please bear in mind about 5 years ago I go permanently banned for life at this address.

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

There is no reason if her name is different to yours. If she has the same name it's quite possible they will connect you although if you've not had an account or used your current address at any time during those 5 years you might be ok.

Was the paypal account suspended too?

If you are requested to call ebay ensure your partner tells them she is not connected to you and the same name is coincidence

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

We both have the same last name and lived at the same address as when I got banned...

However she has got a separate Paypal account which is active and been active for years

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

Its problematic.

Same IP still being used? Change that, and it will help.

Why not just open a Stealth account and be done with those worries?

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

Please, do not expect eBay UK to go along with that. eBay will totally ignore this . Too many others have tried and joined the banned group of sellers.

I agree with Greenbean. By doing this, your partner is putting a PayPal account that is aged at risk. It would be better if they used a new address.

If the names were totally different and the IP was also different, then maybe it would have a chance of working as your partner could say they had no idea who you are, maybe a former tenant or something. But same last name and same address is problematic.

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

same last name? then she is your wife, right? why do people interchange with partner and spouse (partner is inferior status)....

real identity is valuable, we all have found out after the fact when banned....needs protecting. Same last name and address seems dicey, keep seperate.

Inferior amongst Sloane Rangers you mean?

:FF:

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

Yes she is my wife.. What is wrong with that?? lol

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

Your better of buying an account off this forum than messing around with a genuine account (your wife's, spouses, thai mail order).

Quick tip: learn stealth, make sure not to link the stealth account with your partners, as that has probably already been linked with your suspended account, i.e. make sure IP is distinct.

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

Best to use fresh SEPARATE address e.g. po box

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

no nothing wrong obviously! (in fact well done for buying the cow).....just pertinent to same name or not on OP, not sure why people use interchangably..not the same thing.....

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

Did you speak to the seller?

Worth noting documents dont have a 100% success rate. If one has failed, try a different seller, maybe one who is more reputable. Theres many to choose from.

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

Stranger things have happened.
Even if she gets initially banned she can present ID documentation and Ebay have no way to 100% confirm she is married to the banned seller.
Imagine if their name is Smith.

At any rate it might be worth a try before doing stealth properly

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

Instead of shelling out for an account that might close , open the account yourself and spend less by just buying the documents from someone off here.

If someone in your family has no ebay account open one in their name using all their real details and then you could even pass the Electoral Roll check with no documents.

There are varied options before needing to buy an account.
Obviously you need to ensure that your IP, address etc are not linked to your old account.

And just out of curiosity- have you tried to open an account under your genuine details again?
As its been 5 years since you lost that account you might get away with a new one going undetected for some time.

Over the last 13 years I've had at least 5 account using my and my wifes genuine details and in the best case the account lasted several years.

Ebay may catch on eventually but you have nothing to lose by trying although its important to remember that every Paypal account costs a new bank account so if you don't have additional bank accounts ( savings accounts , individual , joint) then you'll need to work things out.

I find the most difficult things to acquire are fresh credit cards and bank accounts that I don't want to pay for

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

Does the paypal account have the same telephone number as the banned account?

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

This does not work.

Stop thinking it will.

OP needs to check his own selling practices and what caused suspensions in the first instance.

:deadhorse:

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

Agree with GreenBean on this one. OP needs to go back to the drawing board and rethink his strategy. :)

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

I think on other posts I have already explained what caused and it why it could not be reactivated. Or do I need to go into it again??

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

No different mobile number

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

Bottom line is, your previous account got suspended. Your stealth got suspended. You want to use your partners account? It too will be suspended if you continue to do what your doing now.

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

There's quite a few things quoted on this website that apparently don't work but do - at least for a time.
When I opened a new paypal account after the last one was limited I was advised to use a new ebay account too.
I didn't.
That was months ago.
I accept that they might catch up at some point but if you get months use out of an account and don't follow your instructions that's good enough to make your assessment of certain things not working wrong.

So saying "this does not work" isn't good enough.
You could add "in my experience" which would make the statement accurate.

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

There's plenty of examples on here of accounts going quite well without following every single step you would usually follow , just as there is of suspensions for people who do everything they're supposed to.

Nothing is 100% set in stone

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

You've taken things out of context and proportion.

The advice I give is based solely on the OP and cannot be generalised nor extrapolated in other circumstances.

I understand what the OP is trying to do, hence I am giving him advice. This is based on numerous factors, including but not limited to other threads the OP has opened in relation to this matter.

Further to your previous post - most people on this forum are here for accounts which will last as long as possible, years, if not longer. Trying to rinse an account out of a few extra months is not the ideal goal on the forum, hence why nobody advises that. Though it is an option and can sometimes work. For others who tend to get themselves into the mess purposely, wont work so much!

Hope this helps :)

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

Linking in a new PayPal to an eBay that is already linked to an suspend PayPal does work for a while. The problem is that it will nearly always eventually get shut down.

So you would be using a bank account on an account that will 99% of the time get shut down after a few weeks or a few months (if lucky). As a long term solution its not ideal.

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

go back to drawing board ?? is the OP Rolf Harris ?

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

I think the same address is an option to use further down the line for the wife....just not soon after banishment of OP account.

she could start with a buying acc in the future and then switch it to seller...just not right now....

I have seen it work out a year or more later......depends how serious the transgressions were or if money is owed etc....

Re: Can My Partner have a Ebay Account?
 

A long term account is what we all want but what is the problem with lengthening the existence of a perfectly good ebay account that has good feedback.

No point whatsoever in throwing it away.
If the new paypal account ends up being closed along with the new paypal account it doesn't matter as he can start again with both.

My ebay account had more than 200 feedback when the paypal account was limited so I decided to open a new paypal account and continue with the existing ebay one. 6 months later I have over 400 feedback and things are still going smoothly.

Presumably at some point I will need to start again but I'm glad I didn't just abandon the ebay account which has brought me in several thousand pounds since I changed paypal accounts.

And if multiple paypal and ebay are the way to go then nothing wrong with opening new ones while keeping the old one going as long as possible
