Hello All,
I just downloaded the Stealth Book, read over it, and it looks like it's pretty comprehensive on everything.
But, it did not answer one of my questions, and I have poked through this forum a bit, and haven't found the exact answer either.
Anyway, I used to sell on Ebay 4 or 5 yrs ago. Sold for a little over a year, had good metrics, and then they dropped me due to dropshipping/seller metrics.
Anyway, at the time didn't think much about it, just thought "oh well, other fish in the sea"
Then a few months ago, I decided to re ask for my selling privileges to be reinstated as it's been several years... got the ain't gonna happen email.
So, I have been thinking about a stealth account for a few months, and I thought "wth, let's give it a shot. I learned my lesson and no longer dropship, it should be fine."
So, the issue is that for my current business, I buy A LOT of supplies from Ebay, as some of my main suppliers are Ebay sellers. Several thousand dollars a month worth of "goods/supplies/parts" for my products that I manufacture/sell.
My original Paypal account never had any restrictions placed on it, and I have continued to use it to BUY off of Ebay.
My current PP account has all of my CCs linked to it that I use for my business BUYING.
So, my question...
Can I just set up my new Ebay seller account using the Opera web brower and the VPN option w Opera, and then do by buying through my existing Ebay and linked PP account using Chrome?
So, basically, do my selling/listing through Opera and my buying through Chrome and keep the same PP account?
If not, then how do I set up a new selling account AND new PP account, and then link all of my BUYING CCs to the new PP account?

1. You can make a new buying ebay account with a new PayPal with a P.O. Box address and it be good to go.
2. If you can, get new cards from your bank or whatever institution your using and have them send it to your P.O. Box and make that the new address for the cards. Not 100% sure if the bank will issue a new number on the card but I think it's possible.
3. Add the cards to PayPal, do your shopping.

Thanks for that..
You hit the nail on the head..
What if I don't get new card numbers? What if the bank gives me the same numbers, just a new expiration date/cvv?
I was wondering if I can just "unlink" them in PP, and then relink them in the new PP account?

| Never tried it but that can get you linked very quickly, and all your work would be for nothing.

Ok, so I guess I have a plan of attack.
Set up the PO Box.
Get the CC companies to send me new cards.
Once the cards come, make sure they are new numbers.
Once (or if) they are, use them for PP. If not, don't use those cards.
Then go buy a prepaid phone.
What is your opinion on the Opera browser and VPN option? Worth it, or better to just reset the modem or buy a new modem?
THEN set up everything..
I haven't looked at it, but it seems like all of that would have to be done anyway, even if I bought an already set up Stealth Account.

@MeAgain, you don't need the VPN if you are in the USA - so many standard options.
Resetting the modem works if you have dynamic IP provider.

Did you use a new bank or no bank yet?
What was the exact message you received?
What did you use for IP?

Ok, so today I was running around and got EVERYTHING..
I got the TracPhone w a new number.
I got the PO Box
I got the bank to issue me a new CC number
So, I created the new user account, and reset my modem and got the new IP address.
Then, I set up a new gmail account.
I already had a business acct at the bank that wasn't linked to my previous PP account, so I was planning on using that for the new PP / EB stealth acct. (Already have the EIN and the corp set up )
So, I think I messed up, and I need some advice.
When setting up the PP business account. They asked for the last 4 of my SSN and my DOB.. I gave the real SSN but "adjusted" my DOB.
So, that's the first thing..
But the BIG ONE, that I need some advice on..
When I went to link to my bank account, I ACCIDENTALLY put in the bank account number of one of my previously linked accounts.
Then, like a dumbass, I put in the NEW / Correct bank account number as the 2nd link bank account.
So, now those 2 accounts are linked together..
But, my question is... can I just "not confirm" the deposits in the "wrong" account and just justify it as a typo, and then confirm the correct bank account?
Or do I now need to start at the top... and spend another $100 getting a new PO box and new phone number?
What do you think?
As a reminder, my previous PP account is in good standing, and I never had any issues w PP.
Let me know.

I would definitely create more accounts and focus on those.
For this one that you made mistakes on I wouldn't risk it and cut my loses.

What did you use for IP? | I used a new bank which has never been used before.
I used a new VPN for IP which hasn't been used before.
The exact message is received was
MC113 Your eBay account was suspended because recent account activity has raised serious security concerns. We've taken this precaution to protect our members while we make sure that the activity doesn't cause harm -- however unintentionally -- to the eBay Community.

What type of item did you sell?

DO yourself a favor and grab the stealth guide. You can click on one of the links in my signature below.
We don't know what you are doing honestly, but it's best to just read the guide and follow it fresh from the beginning.
