Buying with Stealth account?

[thevoyager]

I am set up, been selling a few things keeping the peace, but want to buy something, what is procedure, because I have a different address, just take a number off my road so it's 5 instead of 55 etc..

Plus a different name..

So what's the score here...... Is it advisable to change to my normal address on the buy form? Cause I don't think buyer would be happy about sending to a different address... ?

Buyer won't be happy to see a different address and PayPal would be surprised to see that this account is related/linked to another one...

Stealth address should be accessible, make another stealth just for buy stuff (this one would not be much in danger even if linked to your eventually suspended account).

Did you not know that this might not pass any checks?

Sadly, ebay/paypal pick this up and link to suspened accounts.

Use a mailbox as a delivery address

Personally I would just use a dedicated buying account. Keeps things totally separated

so this means a whole new bank account, telephone number and everything else?

This new buying account though, what do you mean as a mailbox address?

Dont need a bank account for a buying account. Just a VCC

New phone number is pretty easy

Look at local rentable mailboxes

In my experience on IT accounts, buying only accounts are left "unmolested" by eB/PP.

You should not have big issues there. I am using same delivery address as mine suspended account and I can buy with no issues.

Bank account is not needed, VCC or gift card will do.

Where would items be sent?
I have a mobile i bought for £15 with sim, would I just best be getting another sim?
VCC, would this mean any sort of credit?

[JamesNorth101]

To the mailbox... That is what it is there for

You would need a VCC to pay for the items you are planning on buying

You can use another SIM if that works best for you

It's £30 a month for a mail box, that is way too much!

I need a better option than this.

I really need a certain item asap to help my business transactions, and stuck now... What can I do, I need to order it today.

Try amazon... No links there.

Order using click and collect. You don't need I.d.

You pick your item up from your local argos.

You can often get them for £10/15 a month
