Got my selling limit lifted!

[holyhell]

This account is only two days old, obviously zero feedback. I had 5 things listed and it was saying "you are close to your limit."

There was a link to lift the limit, so I shakingly clicked it. I had the option to verify personal info, or give the user ID of a 90 old account. Again, shakingly, I clicked on verify personal info.

I used an intense degree of craftiness when creating this particular stealth account, and prepared myself for possible future questions. I don't know how much I am allowed to say, or should say, but I answered all 5 questions dead right (smart planning), and immediately was allowed to list 100 items/$5000 a month.

I have learned a lot through trial and error, and obviously from you all, and it's nice to have a small victory every now and then.

Grats... I am 0 for 2 so far :( 1st one answers wrong... this last one it said to verify personal info. I clicked through it.No go. I have some ideas on beating the system on future stealths. eg... lot's of "spokeo" research etc. I'd laugh if egay uses Spokeo or something stupid like that to verify mis/information

I saw the link too, but when click on it it said that the account is not qualify or something

can you shed some more light on how you did it?

[kris]

Yes please! And what questions you were asked, if you dont mind.

[holyhell]

#1 Birthday
#2 Birthday of a different household member
#3 What city that member has relocated to
#4 Previous city lived in
#5 Nearby major attractions

[kris]

Ok... Numbers 1 and 5, I can see being simple. But 2 and 3? I'd have no clue how to go about answering that one. Well... except from the words of the forum, I guess. None of the above?

[DAILYHUNDRED]

PM us how u did it haha Good stuff congrats on the success!

Had you chosen any of these as security questions or were they all background checks they had done into your stealth identity?

[DAILYHUNDRED]

Interested in knowing how you got trough the stealth questions.

[mememe1972]

if you use a real persons name and birthdate you can do a people search and that basic bs shows up like family and cities lived in. But if I pick a random name and bday whay am I to do.

[DAILYHUNDRED]

Do you guys pay for spokeo or any other people search you guys can recommend? I got 2 new tracfones waiting to go onto stealth accounts

[oompaloompa]

you are using other peoples info? would you like it if someone did that to you?

are you using occupied owner-residential addresses and then answering questions on their dob etc...what happens when you have to provide ID, that isnt like some made up mickey mouse thing, that the sort of ID paypal deserves to get, you are messing with real world issues, its the sort of thing you can be traced for, and most of you CAN be traced, mainly because of attached bank, if authorities get involved, I mean these people are idiots for putting the info out there on say facebook but I just think its wrong choice..in terms of residential, the only thing I would go for is rental accomodation and random name.

tis kinda messed up if your using someones info without getting permission,when you dont have to do that anyway!

[ebayerOG]

defo not a good idea using some1 you no's name etc :(

[shogun1]

technically,wouldnt they have to have the persons social or photo id for the persons name your using to ever get in trouble?

you could have just gotten lucky and guessed the answers,im sure its happened plenty of times
