Help for Canadian Accounts
Thought I'd make this post to maybe help some people with what I've found works best or at least for me. Whilst it may not be complete stealth i really think right now it's the closest you will get..
The basics:
*Create a fresh user on your PC (for example account-one)
*Use a browser that is better at blocking trackers and ways to identify your system such as Firefox or Brave.
*Get a fresh REAL phone number that is going to be local to the location of your new account, personally i use Public Mobile because if the account goes down then you can change to a fresh phone number for free through their app (great for saving some dollar!)
*Hit google maps or relators websites for rental addresses (rental addresses see a lot of people in and out) which may aid in account creation (works for me...)
*Get a fresh chequing account (PCFinancial & Tangerine) work good for me, allowing multiple accounts under one log in for FREE.
*Get Mobile Data if your phone does not have it already, run your accounts on it! by switching in and out of airplane mode it will give you a slightly different IP every time (i have done it this way for years!) and is way cheaper.
:spy:
Account creation:
*Log in to your new user on your PC
*Hot spot your phone to your PC to for a unique IP address
*Open Firefox or Brave and go to ebay.ca
*Just browse, building some regular cookies
*Create account
USE YOUR REAL NAME BUT SWITCH IT UP IF RUNNING MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS for example John Peter roberts, John P roberts, J Peter roberts. USE YOUR REAL DOB.
*Message a couple of sellers
*Add things to your watch list
*Bid if possible but don't win
-Do all this over a week or so-
Log back in after doing the above, head in to your account/personal info.
*Verify your email and phone number
*When listing your first item and going through the seller on boarding process use your real DOB AND NAME. Ignore SIN.
*list your first item (something used is best) Take a real photo of it, could be anything such as a SSD or something
*Keep the listing as simple as you can
*Let it run through the normal waiting period
The Tricky stuff:
Once you start actually selling you will get hit with ID verification sooner or later and Bank account verification for payouts
Use if possible an ID that does not contain your address so it is not easily linked(this has been my experience)
health card, passport etc.
When you verify your bank, use the small deposit method. DO NOT log in through your bank, it won't matter if your address does not match nor really your name but were making an account in a variation of your name to pass ID checks
IN CANADA SIN IS NOT MANDATORY. EBAY ARE NOT THE FEDS AND CAN NOT DEMAND IT!
I'll be back.....
