Quick Question PayPal

[afrost]

I'd like to open an eBay and PayPal stealth account and had a question regarding the verification process. For the PayPal account, can I enter my address as my actual address and just add an extra letter or delete a letter from the street name, so a post office worker could tell but the computer could not? If I add a Prepaid Gift gift card and have the info exactly like the account info including the new misspelled street name, would that work to verify the account? Or does PayPal check the street name against a database?

Any help would be great!

How about turning your home into a bedsit/flats. Wouldn't flag up on any systems, even if it was actually done.

1A street name
Flat 1a street name

Will this work or will it link the identities?

I wouldn't enter your real address you have used before.

I would get a real address but just add a house number on the street which does not exist that way you know that address has never been used on PayPal before.

To verify my account I use a bank account and VCC my bank account and VCC I use will verify my PayPal account with whatever address I use on PayPal.

I'd like to eventually pass the 20,000 mark and add an EIN to make everything legitimate. When that happens they will check the address. Would 1A street name or
Flat 1a street name work in that case?

USA PayPal accounts are completly different to UK PayPal accounts.

What I know is if I tried to lift the receiving limit per year by entering my stealth information manually it will be rejected as the address and name will not be ossociated with anyone at that address so that's when PayPal ask for ID and proof of address

NOT 100% sure hope someone chips in but I assume it will be similar on a USA PayPal account so their try and verify the address when you reach the 20,000 mark and as nobody is ossociated with that address their then ask for documents (I assume)
