Amazon Stealth Tip #7 - Creating a Stealth Bank Account

Creating a stealth bank account is the easiest stealth activity to do since Amazon cannot track a bank account holder's real name to their bank account. You can use any name you wish as long as the bank account and routing numbers are correct.

Unfortunately, bank accounts are a limited resource for the stealth user so make sure to use a new bank account only after you are 100% sure your stealth account is active and out of the review period. Once your Amazon account is blocked you can never use that Waiting after your account is 30 days old is a fairly safe bet.

For more information on what bank accounts are the best to use I recommend that you purchase eBay Stealth from this forum and search this forum for help and suggestions.

Wow great info!!!!!!!

Does anyone know if they associate a name with the ach deposit? Sometimes the bank will reject it the names don't match up... which is covered in eBay stealth. Sometimes with certain companies, there is no name attached to it. I'd be very curious to know if Amazon does.

How many bank accounts can you have

I have used several stealth names without any issues of the banks I use rejecting my amazon deposit so I don't think that will be an issue.

From my understanding you can have as many bank accounts as you want but it becomes a pain to list them at the end of the year for tax purposes.

I have about 12 open bank accounts but I need to close most of them since they are all blocked by Amazon:(

Aspkin has a great recommendation in his ebay stealth book on alternatives to using bank accounts so I suggest picking up his book. Also, try searching this forum and you will find some great options.

Tax purposes? what's that

Ha! Good one:)

great posting and tip. what about the credit card. does amazon see a name with the card or just the number. Please advise.

I think that they see both the name and the number that is why it is so important never to use ANY credit cards associated with your name and obviously never reuse the same number.

I had accts. closed using the same name and number.

If bank will reject..try your real name with one word mistake

Sure, that's just a name variation. But Amazon handles the money for you, instead of eBay using Paypal. It's a little different, also considering you can use the bank account to withdraw funds to on all of your kicked accounts after the 90 day period.

so if i create a new bank account can i use the same name and adress as i used before?

and can they track the adress back to the bank account?

you have to your real details to make a bank account - its the law

normally bank doesnt give details to third parties

I am about to set up a new account using all the apropriate steps of:
new windows id (will this have any cookies or info from other Id)
New name
New adress
new number
new email
A usb internet stick, not registered to any adress or person
disable current internet whilst i do it
and a new card number BUT the card is registered in my sisters name but to the same adress as other banned accounts! will they know this or should i use a family members card registered in different name and adress?
if all works should i take listings slow e.g. 1 item for starting (used dvd) and build it up slowly over the period to get good feedback?

TAXES ! WHO PAYS TAXES! Screw that the govt prints 37 million dollars a day 7 days a week they do not need my measly trinkets!!

no they wont know who credit card address is in

slow listings, yes

I pay taxes... I'm not a fan of federal prison.


I do watch lockup RAW on natgeo...... Have you seen it?

Created new account yesterday, been looking good so far as i usually get banned within a hour or two but been on for over a day so far fingers crossed. Taking listings slow to build up positive feedback.

I thought I read something about this earlier but I can't find it now. So say you list 5 items in one month. For some reason 1 of those gets a negative feedback. Will they shut you down for that? Seems pretty harsh to treat a rookie seller that way. But wait. Amazon harsh? never......

when making a new amazon account what do you need a usb internet stick for? And what kind of CC would you use for amazon to go stealth, a GC with a different name? If so, what's the best GC to get for amazon? thanks

i usead a usb internet stick as i read that amazon checks the adress that your internet is registered to and with a internet stick they cant as it uses the network providers info. And i dont know about gift cards but i used a different bank account (sisters) and used the stealth name and adress as they cant check those in relation to the card details.
