Stealth Accounts, pro's, con's, how much are they?
So I'm happily selling on eBay, over 500 transactions of over £14000 worth of goods. 252 positive feedback, and 2 negative, 1 from o account newbie and one from a competitor.
One of these two delightful people contacted Paypal and said they were concerned what I'm selling isn't within their allowed to sell list or however they worded, ''please remove all items before 27th March or we will limit your account''
So, I duly removed all items, 27th march ' we have limited your account as you have not removed all items'' or words to that effect. I sell 6 or 7 items at a time, I screen shotted that I'd removed them and that Ebay allowed these items to be sold.
I sell virtual products and children like to make brand new accounts and buy it then say they never received item, and even with screen shot proof of item being sent to their email address paypal always sided with the buyer, so I decided to only sell to people with 30 feedback or above and instantly cancel the others and send them a nice message saying sorry and explaining why etc.
So now I have no way of making an income and have been pondering a Stealth Paypal account.
Anyone here have any experience with these, after reading about them I've heard some good and some pretty bad stories.
Questions;
I'm guessing I'd need a VPN to run my paypal from as this would then flag their warning system or whatever it is.
My ebay is still in perfect working order - could I attach it to this?
Would I be able to add my bank account to withdraw money or will this flag up on their system?
If so could I open a new bank account, obviously would have to be in my name still. Or would this flag up on their system.
How much do these stealth accounts cost? What are the cons?
Thanks in advance
Mark
