Confused on how to pay fees?
 

Okay, so I set up my first stealth account, but I don't understand how do I pay my fees without them linking me? Do I need to buy a pre-paid card? I don't quite get that part. So far i'm up to that stage. Thank you.

You can either choose to pay with your pp (many folx do this) or - as you stated - yes, buy a prepaid card (register it in your eb reg info) and use that.

I would recommend just paying them with a real credit/debit card or paypal. If you are using a prepaid, and you dont have the funds to cover this will lead you down a bad path. I also would AVOID AT ALL COSTS being one of those people that create accounts with intentions to not pay. This will only create more problems for you. Create an account, pay your fees, and play the game the right way.

I fully plan to pay my fees, I was just curious on how I do that exactly. I know to get "confirmed" on paypal you use a bank, and then you can use a vanilla mastercard. Now as far as paying ebay fees, I use a real card with my actual name and not the ⊗⊗⊗⊗ one? That's where I'm lost. Is the vanilla mastercard basically just a one time thing so I can raise my withdraw limit and make my account "safer" to paypal?

I don't really want to link ebay and paypal to pay the fees, the main reason I made this account was I was scammed by a buyer and ebay ruled in their favor and said I owed them "X" amount, while the buyer returned the item back to himself. I've heard that if ebay and paypal are linked they can take the money straight out of the paypal bank account with the shady rules they have. Is this correct?

I don't mind confirming my ebay and paypal, but I don't want to "link" to pay the fees, like I just said I don't want ebay to be able to withdraw any money from my bank acct. Closing the other one was a PITA, and my new one I plan to actually use for more then ebay so I don't want to run into this problem again.

To summarize, I believe (correct me if im wrong) that if you have a negative in your paypal, they cannot withdraw from your bank UNLESS you link your ebay to your paypal right?

I also don't understand VCC (like the ones for sale on this forum), how exactly do they work for the ebay/paypal accounts?

I am done both pay with pp or prepaid.

Never a problem with paying with pp myself.

Others dont like the long term risk.

For me I like it because it looks like you are more concrete to pay your fees by allowing them to see you have money in the account to pay your fees.

I'm not linking them because I know then that gives ebay the right to pull the funds from your paypal, which I don't want to have to close this bank account (again). Is there ANY card within the USA that are reloadable that I don't have to give my SSN? I'll even paypal someone to give me an answer I really need to know! Please help.

U should start with prepaid card, After afew transfer u can change to paypal..

Still a bit confused, so basically I either link my paypal to ebay or I can just buy non-reloadable cards to pay? Meaning I could put like $150 on there and use it and then when it was used up get another card, etc, etc?

Yes use the non-reloadable card, pop $150 on it and use it all up. When done, get another. That is the way that prob suits you best.

On my old account, I was able to "un-link" my paypal before the dispute was closed on ebay, lucky I guess. However I think the pre-paid way to go. Can they put a hold on your paypal if it's not linked?

The problem I always have. If I have a new gift card or a pre paid....I'd rather use it to make a new account..just saying

So again, there is not a single re-loadable card out there I can buy to pay ebay fees with my stealth info? Only non-reloadable and/or a vcc?

It would be hard to get a reloadable one under stealth cause u have to use real info during sign up of the card.
