I tried to open up my first stealth and got hit with an MC169 within a few hours.
Lemme paint a clear picture.
I read the
stealth guide numerous times and went over it before pulling the trigger.
I went through PP first and followed all the steps
1. New name (made up)
2. New email address (gmai)
3. New address (local fast food joint)
4. New Phone number (prepaid phone)
5. New prepaid card (vanilla MC - took a few tries to add it but after registering zip code on vanilla site it went through just fine)
6. New bank account (Walmart MC - added fine - deposits came in good to verify)
Then I went over to eBay and followed the guide
1. Same name
2. same email
3. same phone
4. same address
went through the first page just fine, then they hit me with a credit card page. I wasn't expecting this at all as the
stealth guide didn't mention it. Anyways I entered vanilla MC and of coarse it didn't take it at all. Came up with the page sayin that ebay doesn't accept Gift Cards (kind of expected at that point)
I was not expecting a CC page to come up on registration at all. I know I did something wrong somewhere. I hope someone can help me out. I'm waiting for some VCC's to come in from a board member but I would like to make sure I am not skipping something here. Hopefully a nice soul can help me out. Shoot me a PM if info is "too sensitive"
I figure this account is done which is fine, screw it i'll open new ones but I don't want to keep burning phone numbers and bank accounts as I will not be able to use these again.
Is the Credit Card page a new thing? or was it like that before? either way how can I get around this? did I miss something?
Thanx in advance for any help offered.
