where do you get real addresses from

morganstern · #23 11-19-2014

If you are going to make up an address, use zillow or trulia and find an apartment building. That way it is a real address and there are multiple people living in the complex.

You can also add a virtual address (google it, it's a service) and / or a virtual office address.

I do this also. Or get a Apartment magazine.

I created a stealth the other day and used a local UPS store with a variation of my own name. So obviously it would not pass a white page check. And I have a pretty unique name. I took my time however. First bought a few items before I registered as a seller after about 2-3 weeks. Got 100/5000 right off the bat.

In my experience as GreenBean said don't go get a random address and name from the white pages. Take your time and create a solid stealth. I don' know how ebay checks (who does) but perhaps the purchase history to a deliverable address count for some verification when you eventually register as a seller

but then again ebay is unpredictable and I perhaps just got lucky

Great job! I have a few questions. What did you buy, and how many items did you buy? Have you sold anything yet? If so, what did you sell? Thanks.

if you know what your doing and do research it does wonders.

Google Real Estate brokers in your city. Go to their websites and check if they have a unit for lease/rent that you feel would fit your needs if you were to rent an office or small warehouse. Get on Google Maps and take a look.

This unit is currently empty or it wouldn't be listed but it's a good idea to call up the agent if you want to confirm that although it is not really necessary.

Now you have an address that you know no one is at. That's your new address.

Then go to the post office and pick up a few Mail Forwarding packets. Fill one out using your new address and forward the mail to wherever you want.

They are good for one year - however - DO NOT REQUEST THAT YOUR MAIL BE FORWARDED FOR ONE YEAR!

If you do the post office will notify anyone who sends a letter to that name and address of your forwarded address. Instead, only request that your mail be forwarded for a few months.

Then sit right down and write yourself a letter, to your new address, and see if it comes through OK. Unless you missed something it will. That will also test that the post office will NOT notify (you) of your forwarding address.

After a few months just "move" to another free new address. You can keep this up indefinitely.

I would stay away from this

usman · #30 11-20-2014

So do sellers on this forum all use PO box's.

a311hanna · #31 11-20-2014

That's what I am wondering thanks for asking.

No they don't. Just think out side of the box. There are many way to get real address but you need to pick the right method and stay away from all the illegal one (~id theft, mail forwarding stuff)

I agree
I know its money to pay out and that can be daunting if account goes down.
But since joining this forum, i have correct addresses. Id rather have them now in the beginning and risk it...than to go with one you dont have access to and then go and get limited for changing.your address. A major change like an address could end up being a downfall :-)

There is every possibility that you could address change and be fine but i personally wouldnt want to do that. I would be so angry with myself if i got limited for doing it lol.

So what's the best way to get a good, legal address to use that will pass the database issue? It seems that all suggestions given have been shot down.

Perfectly legal to obtain virtual addresses, mail.forwarding. storage facilities with mailbox rental.
There are plenty to choose from. Most will ask for id straightaway, some will ask that thwy receive within a couple of weeks some id....and i have one that didnt ask.for id
Either way...you have obtained a perfectly legal address. You are paying for that service :-)

Asking what they sell is frowned upon here - just fyi

trosky · #39 11-21-2014

And again no one with a straight answer, looks like people don't want to give up their methods, and it's not like you're giving up YOUR addresses. What is the point in helping in all other areas if in a crucial area like address everyone is lost on what to do?

Not everyone here are using accessible addresses and those instances are where the info is needed for

TonyAlmeida · #40 11-21-2014

Everyone have to do their own homework. You just can't ask other people doing your homework for you. The method and direction are all in this forum and you just need to pick the one that fix your need.

It is always advised to not give out information on addresses because they can lead to overuse.
As last poster said....do your homework. There are plenty of addresses that you can obtain. Some cheap, some reasonable and some pretty expensive....but they are plenty out there

trosky · #42 11-21-2014

I'm all for doing the homework, but people here are not even pointing in the right direction.

White pages - No
Random address - No
Google maps - No
Business address - No

We're not asking anything handed to us, only which address TYPE is the best to use and LEGAL, we'll then find ways to get them

Ive mentioned in a previous post to.search for mailbox rental, storage facilities, etc.....All legal. You use your.real info to sign up and many allow additional names...hence, throw in your stealth name.
Ideally you need an accessible address to handle returns.

Just in this thread alone, there are a handful of information provide already. Need to look harder and read between the line carefully.
