But you need to use the number of the stealth. What if you use the number of the stealth only for the verification and then nothing?

Epic fail plan, you must keep number alive for the life of the account.

Then I will certainly keep checking it.

I was just asking if from the main user account of my computer I can check my ebay stealth account, just googling it and seeing if the number of items is still the same. And if ebay gets suspicious for this checking, even if I do not enter the account.

Umm, do you not have access to your email? I don't understand what the issue is? Go check your email.

Exactly - email can be checked.

OP is making things difficult unless, like his phone number, he has no access to the e-mail...?

You can verify this yourself if you care to. Go to one of your emails from eBay with an image, right click the image, and click "view image info" or "copy image location". If you're using Gmail you'll find eBay's image has been rehosted on a Google proxy server. Since the image has been rehosted by Google, eBay doesn't get any information about you when your view the email (because the image is no longer coming from an eBay server)

Example:

With that being said it's perfectly safe to have all of your stealth account email accounts linked to one email client on your cell phone.

Thanks for that.

But again I was just wondering if seeing the page of my account (without entering it) and check if the number of items is still the same, could be a way. And if ebay gets suspicious for this type checking.

What is the easiest way from your normal user account, to check if you've made any sale on your stealth account?
I thought about googling my ebay stealth account name and watch the number of items I have for sale. If it's the same, no sales.
I wonder if ebay gets suspicious if I do those checking from my main username where I have my main ebay account.
cheers

By the way. Checking my stealth account from my main user account, made ebay send me an email about one of the items I'm selling, asking if I was still interested...I guess it's better not doing it again..
