Hi
I did some research it seems like it is ok to link two ebay acc to one paypal. But I have a stealth acc, is there something I need to know? Some possible obstacles or reasons why I shouldn't do that?
I just think that a second acc could be good because it is another selling channel. And I don't have o pay for it (maybe for new VCC because the current one is expired).
I'm afraid that that activity can flag my account. And it is totally against stealth principle. From my experience ebay never says real reason why your acc was flagged. They always make up some BS reasons.
 
Rip man. i thinks they will spot and limit and sup you account
People sound like programmed robots. Spot what? Link to what? Don't think that having more than one account with the one name is the same as having a few accounts with different names. Ebay allows it. Below I' ll provide ebay policy and a link. But if I know ebay allows it then why do ask community here? Well, some actions ebay seems as suspicious and may ask you for additional documents, additional veryfication, maybe something else, I don't know. What you are doing may be allowed but can create problems especially if you have a stealth account. But having another account for me know is great opportunity, it may help me to save money. I won't need to buy another ip, another account etc. I'd like to know what community thinks here.

Policy overview
There are many reasons why users would choose to have more than one eBay account. For example, users who like to buy and sell may want separate accounts for each activity. Other users who maintain businesses on eBay may prefer to manage separate accounts for different product lines.

Whether you have one account or more, eBay expects users to manage each of their accounts effectively in order to meet the highest buyer and seller standards. These standards and rules regarding performance, risk, and best practices are applicable for each account and help ensure a safe and positive experience on eBay.

Users are expected to resolve issues as they arise, and follow the steps provided by eBay to bring accounts back into good standing before continuing to buy or sell with other accounts. Learn more about how to increase limits on your account.

Make sure you follow these guidelines. If you don’t, you may be subject to a range of actions, including limits of your buying and selling privileges and suspension of your account.

What are the guidelines?

Allowed

Users may have multiple accounts on eBay. We understand that there are various reasons why someone would choose to have more than one account.

Not allowed

Registering new accounts or using other existing accounts to avoid buying and selling restrictions or limits or other policy consequences.

I have two eBays to one PayPal since you did pointed out that eBay does allow it. Allows me to sell more using two accounts. It is good if one account gets a 7 or 30 day selling restriction, you can still sell on the other. Haven't had any issues yet. Been following the stealth guidelines to avoid drawing attention as well.

So in that particular scenario ebay account can be suspended. But for any other reasons? Not for the fact that two ebay accounts registered on one name are linked to one paypal account with the same name?

I'm still afraid! Some people link ebay account to paypal account with different name and sometimes it works, sometimes doesn't. If they ask me for additional verification, I don't have utility bill or SSN now. Also, I think I can spend time by adding more products o my amazon maybe?
I will wait for some other recommendations here and experience :)

There is a lot of conflicting info about this so I called in once and got it straight from a eBay rep. This was more than a year ago so policy may have changed since then, but AFAIK this is still valid.

1. You ARE allowed to have two eBay accounts on Paypal. You can have more than two if you really want.

2. However, if you sell on multiple accounts, you can not use them in any way that can be construed as trying to get around eBay policy. For example. If you have a category listing limit of 10 items, and you list 10 items in the same category in one account and try to list in the same category in another account, that will get you banned for trying to get around selling limits. If you buy something from one account that another account is selling, that will get you banned for feedback manipulation, etc. But if you sell jewelry in one account and auto parts in another accounts, that will be allowed.

However, if you have mulitple eBay accounts, the correct thing to do in the long run is to set them up as separate stealth accounts, for various reasons.
 
I've done this before. You might get away with it for a couple months but eventually they will find out and ban your account especially if you are selling alot.
