Setting up a new stealth account

[drphilly]

I'm looking at setting up a new stealth account, with the same name (maybe a slight variation to first name), but different contact details etc. Could this be linked to another eBay and PP account considering similar items will be sold?

Thanks in advance

Recently I have read around that it is notwise to use "slight" vartiations of real name and it is better go with a brand new one but I do not have much experience. I just started my first stealth and I also was wondering if there is someone willing to give some light to this question.

The issue here is to keep link possibilities LOW. If everything else is different but only the name is varied, chances of linking are low.

If you are selling similar items and account comes under manual review...you could be under some fire. Best way is to rotate pattern of activities - maybe if you were selling 4 items - split them among couple of stealths.
