Trying to Get Back Up and Running on eBay Stealth

[onegoal19]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to get back on eBay after a long hiatus. Before I create 2 new Stealth Accounts I figured I would come back here to ask you all if I'm going about it the right away or if I'm setting myself up for an epic fail...

• I moved not long ago so I have a new address
• Since I moved, I also have a new IP address
• My old laptop was stolen so I have new hardware
• I was going to use an alias
• I'm creating a new email address
• I've also changed my phone number
• And I have a new bank account

The way I see it, I should be good to go and create a couple of stealth accounts. I'm not too concerned about the stealth accounts being linked because I'll be selling low risk items and plan to do this part-time.

Is there anything I missed? Any reason why this won't work?

I'm all ears!

I thought about it briefly, but hadn't accounted for that. Thanks! Do you suggest I try getting a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ one (didn't realize that word was blocked here). A made up ID?

Yea, you should probably get ready with your 'creative' docs.
like invoices (good if you have this), proof of address, ID, and the dreaded SSN. Those are just the usual docs eBay and PayPal ask.

Other than that, I can see you have a good stealth setup already

Luckily I won't need invoices because all of my items are low risk arbitrage

For the proof of address and ID I'd assume they would just verify it matches the info you provided on your account. However, for the SSN couldn't they check that against some govt database? Or do they also verify it with your account info? How do I go about getting proof of address, ID, and SSN?

Do you need a stealth paypal account too OP?

Lol, if you get limited within 3months of opening the account, that account is already a goner.

They have tons of ways to check if the SSN is real or not.
All of those docs much match with the details you have in your Paypal and eBay accounts.

Ok thanks, do you have any idea when they ask for verification docs? Is it from the very beginning or once you reach a certain revenue threshold?

Well, I don't know for US, but as far as I know they won't limit you unless you have high risk activity such as too much sales on a new account.

Sometimes, when you reach a certain threshold and sometimes with the activity of your account.
