Just an idea, as I don't know what you sell.

How many accounts do you have at the moment and how many products are you selling? Surely you could make listings look different and work on it, to try and avoid linking of the account?
Other people here do it, so perhaps its worth a shot.

It all depends how many accounts you are already selling on and how many products you are trying to sell I guess- Its all about scalability and how creative you can be, whilst pushing the limits and taking all the right steps in order to build sustainable business.


Just as an example, I can say that when I started selling on eBay I did it has a hobby and never took it seriously- Then I started making serious money and 2 weeks later I got kicked off.
I had 2 days to think about my situation and then I decided to learn from my mistakes and really imporve my business model as a whole. Been successful ever since.

These little problems are sort of reality checks for all of us- How well is out business set up and how sustainable the whole thing is.
Take it as a little learning curve and take your time solving the problem. If you take shortcuts, you will end up in a same situation or worse.

Solve the problem, don't try to avoid it.

I need a new bank account that won't be a problem.

You see, thats the real problem.

You want to keep everything the same without changing what you do, with hopes of finding a magic bank that will never question your business model and how you move money.
Every experienced user here is giving you very similar advice, but for some reason you can't take their advice.

You can't make an egg without cracking some chickens.:coffee:

no that's not good advice

and no i want to change what i do. I want to use a business bank

Other members mentioned UK business bank accounts as being the way forward. good advice.

But I want to ask them what banks they use and if having multiple business bank accounts is a problem? As natwest would not entertain the idea of me holding another business bank elsewhere

Hello there,

I have been withdrawing on a daiy basis around £450 to my bank account for the last 4 months from various different stealth accounts.

Today, I have received a letter home regarding the transactions like where do I get the money from and what business do I own.

I was going to say, I have a business in another country but they send me the money through Paypal then I withdraw through the bank. Which is basically divident. But the stealth ebay account names are different and Im sure it will show up on the each transactions.

So can you guys please advise, what can i tell my bank about the business i own and where the money comes from?


Thanks.
