    Hi. You can always try eBid

    Not as good as eBay but it is growing.

    No, I was quoting from your statement that suggested that everyone who was previously suspended was signing up with false details to continue to use ebay.

    There's no need to use false details to get back on ebay.

    I am therefore suggesting that people who break the rules by trading while suspended are more commonly the scammers.

    Do unfair rules need to be heeded?

    "more commonly" = "only"??

    Brooker Dave, I appreciate your help, but I am going to wait until the ban is up. To be honest, I'm 17, so I'm not actually old enough to have an account at the moment, so by the time I'm 18 (Well 7 months after I'm 18), I can have an eBay account that is fully legit.

    I don't want to risk being banned for life. eBay is a great place (Except the fees), so I'll wait it out and spend the next year saving money instead of spending it on eBay. :D

    Many thanks

    You can have any number of ebay accounts linked to one paypal account.

    I thought that if you had more than one ebay account linked to a single ebay account and one of your accounts got banned then they banned them all by using the paypal linking to identify you as the same person. Or has this changed?

    There are lots of things that can link your ebay accounts together... and you're not allowed to trade while suspended anyway.

    The question was can you have multiple ebay accounts linked to 1 paypal account not how can you avoid getting all your accounts suspended.

    I thought I'd give an update on this. I've been in Australia for a few weeks and came back yesterday to receive an email from eBay that informed me that my account had been reinstated.

    I'm glad I decided not to create a new account and wait out the suspension, as it lasted 2 weeks and not 1 year. :D
