Hey guys,
Seems like I have a question a night. Just want to make sure I know how to do everything before I go into this.
I understand that for each stealth eBay account, I need a stealth PayPal account that is linked to a unique bank account.
I've seen some people on the forum post that they have 50, even 100+ accounts. How does anyone possibly open that many bank accounts?
Thanks!
Matt

I never understood this either lol .
Or how they get that many different addresses. They probably use ⊗⊗⊗⊗ addresses since you don't need to verify it anyway (except if you want to remove your limits, but if you have 100 accounts, you don't really need to remove your limits).

Yeah, I'm almost positive that you would just continue using ⊗⊗⊗⊗ addresses (real locations, just not yours)
But walking into the bank every day or two and asking for a new bank account seems like it would get difficult after the first few

Lets clear up some things....
1. You should be using your REAL Name, Address, SSN#, etc to open bank accounts.
2. Paypal does not verify the Address on the Bank Account, ONLY the micro-deposits
3. We have discussed on this forum A LOT which banks work with Stealth
4. Most of those banks allow you to open several Checking/Saving Accounts
5. Example, If you can find at least 10 Banks and you can open up too 4 Checkings then you have 40 Separate Accounts at your disposal.
On this forum we have made several list of which banks work....This is where doing some research comes into play....
Good Luck.

Good Luck. | We understand that, but you do need to use an address right? Not related to bank account, but you need to file a new/unique address for each PayPal account. So I guess someone who has 40 accounts, uses ⊗⊗⊗⊗ addresses. There's no way he has 40 PO boxes or 40 real different addresses.

Yes, All the addresses on the Paypal/Ebay should be unique (different) from 1 account to the next. Everyone has their own method(s) for addressing this issue....Gotta think outside the box.

Thanks! 40 accounts seems like it would be a hassle, ugh. I had a decent amount of volume going through my legit account, so I would need closer to 60 accounts.
Someone gave me this idea earlier, so I'll run it by you guys:
I live with my parents, but will be moving out soon.
My dad doesn't have a PayPal account, eBay account, etc.
Could I reformat the computer, change my IP address, etc. Then open a PayPal account under his name (he knows about it), but put it under a different address than the home address my PayPal/eBay accounts have on them? Then obviously use the same other address for the eBay account in his name?
If we link it to his credit card/bank account, and I only use it once I've moved out, we should be ok, right?
I know I've run a few ideas by you guys already. My big concern is that I want to be able to build one account to a big status, which requires being able to go over the $20,000 in sales mark and receive the PayPal 1099.

lol I take that as a 'no'.
Just since I'm a dummy trying to learn this stealth stuff, could you explain why it wouldn't work?

what you do is decide how many accounts you will have.
You then select banks that allow multiple accounts.
Not as complicated as it seems. |

My other concern is you appear to be a good young man.
Learn business for yourself.

I just want to make sure that nothing would get us suspended. As long as it's a different address, they can't link his account back to mine, right?
Haven't ruled out the completely stealth way yet, and I don't mean to be discrediting it, but I want to pan out all my options lol
Plus I still have that "eBay is a jerk" thought that won't leave my mind..

Two things in life are a given.....
Death and taxes.
Third thing in life is ebay & paypal are not an easy game to play.
Never think you can not be caught, suspended or limited.
Rather, think how can I best use this forum to learn to make stealth accounts that will work long term.
Good Luck

Alright so sounds like the idea is...even though my plan might not get caught, true stealth and multiple accounts would mitigate the risk?
Sounds like I have more reading to do.
Thanks for all the help!

Well done, Young Padawan.
You are taking the best approach.
Kudos for doing the ground work instead of racing in & making flawed accounts. |

Spread out bank account creation - take your time - recommendation is not to operate with unverified PP accounts but as you learn more, you make decisions and gain experience to be able to flex your forte.
One account at a time.

One more question:
If you choose to have eBay draw their fees out of PayPal, are funds that are pending sufficient?
Say I sell something on Oct. 29th for $100. I'd owe eBay $10 which they would try to charge on Nov 1st. The $100 would still be in the 21-day hold though. Would eBay still be able to take it, or do you need new money?

Keep track of your bill and the amount and always leave enough during the month to pay for your fees.
Never withdraw more then you owe and leave some for some refunds.

Would eBay still be able to take it, or do you need new money? | Matt what I like to do is actually pay my bill with a VCC like rsot mention. Also when selling on eBay the "Turtle" wins the race. Take things nice and slow, and even more so when your first starting out on a fresh account. I might be over doing it, but I like to wait 8-15 days after the 21 day hold on to withdraw my money out. If the account is Brand New I make sure its at least 30 days old, and I also only withdraw 1/3 of the money. Leaving enough for a few refunds just in case. It also doesn't scare paypal right off the start line to limit you.
Once you understand how to run your first stealth account, you can start opening up new ones. Spreading your sales out, and also helping you lower your risk. Of course there is always risk involved, but that's the game you play when you sell on the eBay Platform.
Good Luck!

Good Luck! | Gotcha!
Can I pay for the same account with the same VCC month after month? I'd be limited to selling about $1600/month (to avoid the 1099), so it'd be cheapest to load up a gift card for $500 and then just keep paying with that for one account.

Alright so I was looking through the forum where we can buy accounts and whatnot.
As far as VCCs go, most sellers list "Paypal VCC" and "eBay VCC" as separate products with different prices.
What's the difference between them, and why wouldn't one work for the other purpose as well?
