I been operating for over 3 years now, and it works great, you need to be determined, and if you are the type to throw your hands up at the first speed bump than its not for you, the first year and a half was rough , a lot of learning , a lot of mistakes, but now operation is nice and smooth
Stealth accts definitely work done correctly..Ive made about ten so far thats how i learned on here. I purchased an acct on here in an emergency but that was the first acct i every purchased and ive been a member for years . Its easy to make your own read read read ..And u will have no problem making your own.All the info u need is here . This forum is amazing

How long have you had yours for? i'm thinking of creating one since i've been the latest victim of ebay suspension for no apperant reason.
Also do i need to create a new paypal account for my new stealth account? or can i just create a new email and then add it to my existing paypal account and then link that new email to my ebay (paypal allows 6 emails per account) so that way it looks like my stealth ebay account has a new paypal
yes i did this last week. Opening additional pay pal accounts is almost impossible. you can have 2 pay pal accounts. one registered as a business if thats what you would like and then a second personal pay pal account. when you go to your pay pal account add another email address then you can make this primary and keep the old email address on there or delete.. DO NOT LINK YOUR PAY PAL TO EBAY WHEN PAYING EBAY FEES... MOST IMPORTANT. Use a prepaid credit card to register on ebay to pay your ebay fees... DO NOT LINK YOUR PAYPAL BANK ACCOUNT EITHER WITH EBAY

Yes stealth accounts work perfectly well. I've had quite a few and I know many users of this forum operate many all at the same time. There is a quite bit to learn but its definetely worth doing if selling on Ebay is crucial to your income.
I know people on here sell accounts and for some people that might be a quick solution although I'm not sure how well they work because part of operating stealth accounts is understanding the processes that cause your new Ebay account to be linked to your old suspended Ebay account and hence get suspended again.
When you go through the steps to set up a stealth account you will learn all about the ways that Ebay / Paypal monitor your internet access / account details and check if you have logged in to a new account from a computer that also accessed a suspended account. Things like website cookies / IP addresses etc can all cause problems in linking your accounts and when you learn how to create a stealth account you find out how to clear cookies / renew your IP address etc.
Depending on how tech savvy you are then all this knowledge will be easier or more complicated to grasp. However its not rocket science and anyone should eventually be able to get to grips with the process. Plus once you've done it once it becomes easier every time. Just be patient and methodical how you do everything when creating a stealth account.
I'd say one of the most important things to understand is that the slightest mistake can bring the whole lot crashing down around your head sending you back to square one, so taking your time and being ultra careful is essential. Yes you can start again if you mess up your first stealth account, but it gets frustrating if you find you've gone to all the effort of getting a new bank account, VCC / mobile phone number / email address / created stealth name / address etc only to find out your new account has been linked / suspended with your old one because you accidentally logged into your old account with the same cookies as were used with your new one.
Plus make sure nobody else is using your computer or logging into suspended accounts from the PC you are using to create a stealth account. I've heard so many times friends tried to create a stealth account, only to hear the missus was carrying on logging into the old account so its no wonder the accounts were linked...
Anyway its New Years Eve so Happy New Year!!!

Was that just advice to heikki10 or am I missing something?
What is the problem with linking a stealth PayPal with a stealth eBay when they both have the same details and are not linked to any other accounts in any other way?
I understand keeping funds in stealth PayPal to pay for eBay fees because if you have a bank account attached and money is taken from it for fees then your real name attached to the bank account will be visible to PayPal which is a big mistake.
Also, if you don't link a PayPal to your eBay account you can't subscribe to an eBay shop (which allows Good Til Cancelled listings) as that requires a linked PayPal account in your eBay to pay the monthly subscription fee.
Guys I have a main account and everything is fine with me and paypal and ebay but I have a seller limit of 5 items/$100 (item defect rate, my feedback is 100% pos) which is unbearable. What would be the best option for me do you think ? I am looking at some sites and it offers 10/1000 accounts for about 50 only thing is, will this conflict or start a problem with my regular account i dont want to get both suspended.
IF you operate LINKFREE, then buying an account should have NO ties to your regular account. You need to make sure that no linking occurs (new photos, different listing, try to vary the products, etc.)
