A lot of confusion on this post and I have some, too. It keeps getting asked how he verified information, such as sending in an ID for a person that doesn't exist. People are saying to read the post or the stealth guide, but neither of those things mention this. This is the confusing part-
"I would have to send in documentation verifying my identity.
I decided to get on -- and work up a pretty -- that I then roughed up and uploaded to the provided link."
Not sure if it was mistyped or what, but the words in this order make no sense to me lol.
Is there a way to "get on and work up a pretty, then rough up"? WHat does this mean?
The question is, how do you provide ID and other documentation for a person that doesn't exist.
lol my thoughts exactly. That combination of words in the OP doesn't make any sense to me. A little clarity anyone??

If your life depended on it could you not send in a picture of your id with altered name and address?
There are programs that help you do these things.. It is not easy and takes some time but its doable

You can make anything. It does take skills with photo editing programs. Knock on wood but the last time I had trouble with my accounts in 08-09 this was pretty easy to do if knew somebody. I don't know the extent now eBay can check public records but I have always had a policy of starting stealth accounts in College towns and listing things like I am a teenager/early 20's struggling for money with my items. Explains the public data base, etc.
