Long Term Ghost Account
 

I'm reading a lot about people saying not to plan on a long term strategy for ghost accounts.
If I follow the rules and be careful, any reason why I can't manage the ghost account for the years to come?

you can. I just made a stealth account with my real name hoping it will last forever.

I've had multiple accounts for over 6 years. Look after them, and they will be OK.

Not expecting it to last too long but plan for a long term is best i think.

So follow the ebay stealth for the creation part, then follow our advice post creation on what not to do.

Ive had an account for 1.3 years, total sale revenue is roughly $250,000 - $300,000. Stealth is not plausible for me long term though because GST/HST tax invoices must be in my name if I want to claim ITC's on the amazon taxes I pay so I need an account under my name.

It depends on what kind of stealth account you're operating and how its made.

You can add your own legit LLC information, along with your own legit debit/credit card and those stores should have no issue lasting forever, even with high revenue.

Yes I have add a ghost/stealth account for over 2 years with high revenues but there is always an inherent risk with Amazon and it's getting more and more riskier as each day passes.

If your account where to go down be prepared to have to go all the way to arbitration to get your money.

Yep.

Using your driver license or PP to create 2 shops will obviously be more safe than using ghost details, as you can confirm your information with your legit files, but if you use those 2 up, your next best bet is going legit LLC.

Ok but forming an LLC with your real details can't amazon check who's under and link you?
