Sorry, i have to ask this question

[GotTheEbayBoot]

Hi there, just wanted to say hello to everyone, hope all your eBay Stealth accounts are doing well. I'm sorry but i have to ask these question even though you might of heard this over and over again... please be nice to me

- i have a ebay account set up with a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name but i use my real name on Paypal only because i want my Paypal name to match my account name, that way the bank won't question me... has this been successful for anyone or will i eventually get suspended because ebay want's to see the same name for both ebay and paypal to match.

- also, if i set up ebay and paypal with a prepaid vanilla master card ($25 value) and it's time to pay for ebay fees ($50). What should i do? Do i use my personal credit card to pay for the ebay fees or do i get another prepaid master card to pay for the ebay fees? If i click on the automated credit card payment and i don't have enough funds on the prepaid master card, will this get me suspended? Any suggestion would be great.

thanks everyone

Welcome to the forum!


There's no point in having a stealth account if you keep half of it in your real name. :D

If you're worried about your bank not accepting it then change a few letters in your name, but make sure the ebay and paypal account have the same info.


They have Vanilla Visa's from $25-$100, if your fees are more then that, then buy 2! :D

Also just use the make a one time payment button, not automatic billing.

I would be very careful about changing account info on your ebay and pp accounts. If you already did, then try not to change it again, at least for a very long time. Seems the less changes the better. More the reason you should set up the stealth accounts properly the first time.

Good luck.

They won't anyway. The name doesnt have to match
