Should I buy US stealth or UK stealth?
 

I know if I buy a US stealth account, I will be hit with a notice after 200 items/20k sales for all US accounts. They will ask for a SSN, so my question is why doesn't everyone just use a UK Stealth account? How are you guys getting past the 200/20k limit within SSN? Are there any disadvantages to a UK stealth that I do not know about?

I don't live in the UK, so why would I want a UK account? I live in the USA so I have USA accounts...simple.

For starters you'll need a UK bank account to withdraw to. You could get away with a US bank account, but requires you to call in and can be a hit and miss.

You have to manage to get around the anti-money laundering requests with UK accounts,

Why not make Canadian accounts and stay under the radar?

If your based in Canada I would go with a Canadian account personally

You could also look at using a UK or US eBay with a Canadian PayPal if you wanted

I was just worried about unlinking the default UK paypal/US paypal and swapping it with a Canadian one.

Just get yourself a standalone eBay then and link in a CA PayPal

There's no such thing as "unlinking", once a PayPal is linked to ebay......they record this information. Why is it hard to just go with a Canadian account? after all, you are in Canada.

Problem is, I want to start selling ASAP and a new account will only give me 10 listings. It seems there is only 1 seller on thsi forum that sells Canadian accounts and the biggest account he has are 100/$5k accounts. That is why i want to somehow buy a US ebay and attach my own Canadian paypal to it. Jsut not too sure if that will raise any alarm. You have any other strategies or sources to get high limit Canadian accounts?

Re: Should I buy US stealth or UK stealth?
 

Seems like most sellers sell the eBay account with the paypal account. What's a good source for high limit standalone ebay accounts? Is it even possible to have a high limit eBay account without linking a paypal account to it?

Re: Should I buy US stealth or UK stealth?
 

A good Source? if your asking about places outside this forum.....good luck, a lot of scammer sites out there. I don't know what you sell but if it's high risk items or expensive items...your going to be in trouble with a new account. You have to start out slow and low cost.

Youre trying to rush things and that will always end poorly.
Your options are either a Canadian account or a US based account. I wouldnt go with a UK account because cashing it out will be problematic at best. With a Canadian account youll be able to add your own bank account and with a US based account youll also be able to get a US based bank account and attach that the paypal account (RBC and TD are a couple of banks in Canada that will offer you US based accounts).
To get around the $20k limit just spread your sales across multiple accounts.
And dont go into this with the attitude that "I want to start selling ASAP " because that will not end well. Do things properly and by the book if you want to succeed and see this turn into a long term thing.

if you have alot of money i would buy multiple usa accounts and start with low risk items. You should only be listing once or twice a week until the second month or so. You could do the limit of the month but i noticed my accounts get limited easy with that method.
