Multiple accounts

@nosenceleft.  Each eBay account needs to have it's own email address and unique user ID.

Thank you, How about payment method. Can two different accounts use the same PayPal account?

Multiple accounts

@nosenceleft  You can have more than one account linked to the same CHECKING ACCOUNT,  the accounts must all have the same EXACT name and address though to be linked to the same checking account.   PayPal is not an option for sellers to receive buyers payments.     Each eBay account must have it's own email address and user ID.

Here are some tips for setting up your seller account>

 

1. Make sure that the ACH routing number is the correct one to use for deposits to your checking account.  Sometimes banks have different ones for this type of deposit.

 

2 .The bank account must be a brick and mortar checking account, not a virtual one.

 

3. Your registered name and address on your eBay account must match your checking account and government ID exactly. You can not use a PO box for your registration but you can use it for your ship from and to addresses.

 

I had to add my middle name to my eBay account.

John B Doe is not the same as John Brian Doe.

You can confirm or update your eBay account information here:

4.  Enter your backup payment method for selling costs here: https://ppcapp.ebay.com/myppc/wallet/list
AND Select Manage under the method you want to use then select Preferred for selling costs.

Hi @nosenceleft 

 

No, the account only has ONE email address associated with it regardless of how many people use the email address.   The caution would be if the two people access the email account from different systems OR different IP addresses (like if one was traveling and used a public wi-fi system at a hotel or other location).

 

The other caution is to NEVER let other eBay account holders log into their accounts on your computer or wi-fi system via their mobile device.  If they do then the accounts become "associated" and can be shut down if one account gets a restriction or suspension.
