eBay reinstated my acct after 4 1/2 years.

So I've been calling about once a year requesting account re-instatement, this year it went through!

I've been banned for 4 1/2 years and running stealth for about 2 1/2. Have never had an account linked, did have a couple shut down for seller non-performance. My stealth accounts aren't verified with SSN or EIN attached so I'm stoked to have a legit account back.

The only things I sold back then, and continue to sell now, are about 30 different parts that I make myself. I'm relatively well-known in my field and a few customers have specifically asked my stealth accounts if the parts were made by me. I play it off as having a few local distributors or just ignore the question if I can.

I'm just curious what other stealthers would do in this situation, leave the stealth accounts on the back burner and work the legit account hard, or continue to stealth along with running a legit account?

Looking forward to hearing opinions!

Start selling on your original account again, and keep selling on your stealth account(s) if you can somehow make another unique instance of your unique product.

If it's something so unique that you're likely to be linked by selling the same thing on two accounts, then start selling something new on your stealth accounts and start selling your unique product on your original account. The more active sales channels you have, the better.

phaz0r advice is on point

Second agree with Phaze.

It's awesome that you got an original account back.

Just make sure you know how to use it so you don't get linked with your other accounts btw.

Yeah keep selling on the stealth account so it doesnt disappear for inactivity but nothing that will link you. Different products, scrub photo data, etc
