Re: how long can your stealth account last?
I have had accounts that have lasted for more than 4 years now. But I sell mostly low risk items that don't draw any scrutiny. I also stay on top of any customer issues and I don't mind issuing the occasional refund.
If you ship quickly, act in a professional manner and don't rack up customer complaints, a stealth account can last indefinitely.
On the other hand, if you plan to sell counterfeits, behave like a teenager and fight any return requests to your last breath, then you can expect to go through dozens of accounts each year.
It all depends on how you handle them.
Estimating sales can be tricky until you have a track record of selling specific items. Sales can vary for all kinds of reasons, from your competition, to the season of the year, to the economy and several other factors. So it is not easy.
