    On paypal do you know how they link accounts by? the same ip or same name or same address? or same phone?

    Can anyone confirm any of this?

    Can they possibly link you with same name but different address, same phone

    be nice if someone can tell me

    Probably the same back account I would say. It's unlikely anyone will share a bank account, but they could legitimately share an address, phone number or name with another PayPal account holder.

    Why not ask them about it ? You will get a real answer that way.

    When I travel, I will either stop using my Paypal account or contact them and tell them that I will not be using my regular computer in my home country.

    Well, that should not be the case. If you are travelling, just contact Paypal, like I did and tell them you be access it during the particular period of them from another country, mention the countries so that they can note the access. It works great for me.

    Yes , you are right... But , most of them dont... resulting in limitations..

    As eddy said , people should inform them.. But personally i feel , paypal never reads their emails... So a call would be fine :)

    They do limit accounts when accessed by IP address from a country from where they arent registered unless in special conditions.

    Well, Vincehelp actually had a couple of accounts which got frozen because there was negative balances and he wants to start a clean slate with a new account. He is worried about being linked to his previous unresolved accounts.
