    Absent any intent to defraud, in general, you can use any name you want to.

    You can be sued/prosecuted under that AKA, if you break a contract or tort
    somebody. You could also, thus, be sued under your "other names;" including
    your "real" name. A judgment against your alias, properly obtained, is also
    a judgment against your "real" name, and could impact property you hold in
    your "real" name.

    On EBAY.........

    Under their TOS, it is generally accepted that "Robert Smith," might have another
    account registered to "Bob Smith."

    You simply register using the pre-paid debit card in the name it is issued under,
    and list the addy that the card-issuer has as your AKA's addy. (You need a new
    email addy, too.)

    You can open an online checking account at HUNDREDS of banks, using your EI#/SSN.
    Once your PP account is open, such a checking account can send/receive funds to/from
    PP. The addy on the CA and DC should be the same and will become your PP "confirmed addy."

    You will need a new gophone ($30.00) to make the "new you" the best that it can be.

    A Recipe For Fraud. And, the reason that EBAY will NEVER be a safe place to operate.

    There is a way. It is detailed above.

    There is NOTHING wrong with using a prepaid-card to register on EBAY.
    They encourage it; especially with their new ban on paper-payments.

    Sellers are being told to inform buyers about prepaid-cards, if such
    buyers claim they cannot pay via PayPal because they have no credit card
    or checking account.

    WMT and greendot make BILLIONS on folks who have no checking accounts;
    MOs and prepaids are HUGE BIZ.
