Okay so yesterday I tried making a stealth account and I'll explain my step by step process.
1. I picked a new random name and DOB
2. I created a gmail acc
3. Created a GV number
4. Picked a random near by address
5. Bought a Vanilla Visa Gift Card
6. Created a new User account on my computer
7. Turned on my Verizon Mifi hotspot (made sure IP address changed)
8. Registered my zipcode on Vanilla Visa website
9. Created a PP and Ebay account
10. Verified the PP acc via gmail. Also attached my vanilla gift card to PP
11. Confirm accounts via text messages I got from GV
12. I immediately started to sell on eBay 1 hour within creation of account. (Do I need to wait?)
13. I tried listing a used book. I entered the Pin # eBay sent to my GV account.
14. Then it said in red letters that I could not sell because my item limits were 0 and my selling limit was $0
I thought I got unlucky..so I tried doing the same thing again today. And I got 0-0 limits once again.
I used to create stealth accounts 2-3 years ago and did this same procedure and never had any issues. But now I can't seem to get an account created. I have the eBay
Stealth Book, but I think some of those things may be outdated?
For example, I've been reading around and it seems Google Voice is no longer a viable option? Is that why I got 0 limits? or maybe cause I listed immediately? Or maybe because I didn't attach a back account yet? Or maybe because I choose a random address and the name on file doesn't match the address? How am I suppose to get access to a new address.
