Do I risk it?

[Elisek]

A little confused on this one.

My sisters have eBay & PayPal accounts (just buying, never used for selling). Their accounts are running with no problems and they frequently buy things from eBay. In fact, if I see something I like, I go through them and just give them the money!

I'm confused because I thought their accounts would have died long ago when mine did. They're on the same IP, same surname & the same delivery address. The only difference is the computers they're using.

Ideally, I would like to create my own buyers account, with my real info but I don't want to damage/draw attention to my sisters accounts, who are completely innocent.
The purchases I would want to make wouldn't just take place on eBay, it would be other sites too, but these sites only accept bloody PayPal!

Trust me, if their accounts go down because of me, I will be in for a world of pain!

exactly, they know there is a difference between accs and the different people are verifiable. Families are hardly an uncommon scenario for them.

You can make a new acc just for buying, you know there is a risk, if there is any way you can vary the name and address and it still gets to you, that would be better.

Is there no way you can get your own ip for yourself, just tether to your mobile for a different one.

I have never had a buying acc go down and it is down to clever thinking.

You could just shop from your phone.
But I do understand how that may get tedious.

I've never had shopping account banned even with burned info.
most of the time - doesnt eBay allow you to continue buying? they just remove selling privileges.

but if you are really worried - then dont risk it.
since a world o' pain is doesn't sound too amazing
