This is a group that shares their links on Skype and gives fake feedback? If so, won't take long before ebay links your accounts and suspends any related accounts.

Be careful buying accounts from random people on skype, you never know what can happen.

Careful with this advice. Reps do have the power to add notes to your account or request even more documentation from you. It can definitely hurt to talk to the wrong rep. Call and get a feel for the rep first.

Asking to sell a fake item legally is like trying to sell stolen goods legally. They are by definition, protected and therefore illegal to sell.

Correct, there is no paypal linked to my 2CO, but I can still accept paypal payments. It is processes via 2CO's paypal and then sent to you.

There is no way to safely switch the paypal accounts. Ebay and paypal are constantly looking for individuals who try to circumvent their limitations by adding a new account. There will be some people who get away with it for some time, but the will eventually find and ban your new account.

Attaching a new paypal to an existing ebay account can work for awhile, but 99% of the time, ebay will catch and ban you. This type of behavior is common among ebay users and they have complex bots always looking for it. In the long run, it will just cause you more trouble. It is better to start...

Not true at all, I have 2CO active without a registered paypal account with them

2checkout fees are not too high. Similar to other credit card processors or standard paypal fees.

Usually it is paypal that holds the money, not ebay. Is this the typical 21 day hold or 180 day hold for being suspended?

Yes, it is fine to upgrade to a business account without a VBA. A VBA is an extra layer of verification, but not necessary if you have a VCC.

The 21 day hold is a paypal security measure, there is no quick way around it. However, they usually remove it after: -90 days of selling -25 transactions and -$250 in total sales This is just a guideline, the limit removal may become before or after this, but usually around this timeframe.

Be thankful they did not permanently suspend your account. Ebay views this as trying to avoid paying their fees, and have been known to permanently suspend people doing this. It is probably copying the item number that got you caught this time, but if they catch you again, the suspension will be...

You have little chance of winning here. Paypal almost always sides with the buyer, especially if they do a chargeback on their credit card.
