am i allowed to have 2 ebay account?

jazzconfused

Hi all!

I am fairly new to ebay and im thinking of having 2 accounts, 0ne for buying as i sometime buy stuff from ebay and recently, im trying to downsize my stuff i.e. clothes and bags and shoes (didnt know i accumulated tons of it thru the years and some of it still have their tags on!)and another account for selling... Can i do that with my one paypal account? (i have a paypal account)

Really appreciAte all your opinions. Thanks.

You can have as many ebay accounts as you wish, they only need a unique email address and user ID.

However you can only attach 8 ebay accounts to one Paypal account, although it is relatively easy to remove and re-attach as needed.

As long as the two accounts never interact with each (shill bidding, BIN feedback padding etc) then there is no issue with it. It actually makes good sense to have multiple accounts for the very reason you asked.

I will try to make a new account for selling my stuff hopefully its a straight forward thing to do.

You may be better using your existing account to sell as it will have established feedback, and also new accounts are also limited to the number of items they can sell, and also subject to the 21 day paypal hold. Use the new account as your buying only ID.
