From what I've observed, a lot of people are getting their accounts burned from using over-abused VCC and VBA providers. If PP can't see my info, why wouldn't it be better to open accounts in legit banks on my name and use the visa cards they issue to confirm my stealth name accounts? Could anyone shine light? | You're slightly off on a few of the fundamentals.
- You don't want to use your real, Paypal-attached bank account to pay for purchases on a stealth account. It's fine to use your bank account for Paypal withdrawals, but the consensus around here is that Paypal can see your real name if you attempt to have Paypal draw money from your bank account for a purchase.
- If you're just using it to make eBay purchases, you DO NOT attach the prepaid gift card to Paypal. You would choose to pay without a Paypal account at eBay checkout, and put your card details there. That way the card is debited without it being associated with your Paypal account.
- The reason prepaid gift card are favored for stealth account creation is because they make it extremely easy to "confirm" your Paypal address. They serve no other purpose in regards to stealth accounts unless you choose to make purchases or pay your eBay fees with one.
To summarize, you don't add the Vanilla card to Paypal. You use it to pay for your eBay order without involving your Paypal account.
