Re: Another first with Paypal. Stealth doomed?
Public IP addresses should be avoided like the plague. So should any VPS or VPN providers that are large and well-known, as well as all of the $5 per month wonders. Most of them are HIGHLY OVERUSED and eBay/Amazon/PayPal know about them and have their IP address ranges.
I have never been a fan of these services and have also avoided anything FREE like the plague, such as Google Voice. The problem is, too many people use them and they are quickly flagged as potentially problematic. Aside from gmail, which has a level of respectability associated with it, I also avoid any free email addresses such as Hotmail and even Yahoo.
It is worth a little bit extra to me to use services I know are not attracting hundreds of people trying stealth for the first time. It costs a little bit more, but the longevity of the accounts makes it worthwhile.
