Default Friend is giving me his account- need help

I have a friend who is willing to give me his eBay and PayPal acct, it’s confirmed with all his real identity, aged account from 2013, how can I run this account safely from my house without linking it to my IP that has my eBay acct suspended ? Nordvpn ?

It's really not advisable using friends accounts. Been there, done that. I regret it.

You likely have the best of intentions.

However, the reality of eBay/PayPal can be quite different. The whole point of using a "stealth" account is you won't unintentionally screw up your friends identities. The accounts you have are in your friends name, and that is a risk right there. If the accounts get suspended, or you generate tax liabilities, your friend will be on the hook for it.

The whole point is to use stealth identity to avoid problems like this.

Does your friend know if his account reaches 200 transactions and $20k /year,Paypal will send 1099K to him and IRS.
IRS will add that amount to his gross income?
Does he really want someone to use his SSN to run a business?

We actually use ziplinkinternet.com as our provider, it’s a wireless service that’s basically uses a dish on my house to communicate wirelessly with a tower a few miles away ? Anyway I can somehow obtain a new ip to not be linked to my old acct ?

1099K could also be sent to your friend state goverment,if he is ever audited for sales tax collection,they want to see his bank statements,if they do not see a match in his Paypal account,they could conclude he is doing cash sales,meaning selling outside Ebay/Paypal and getting cash for merchandise and not collecting sales tax from his customer.
since he fails to collect and remit sales tax,he would have to pay for them.
why would anyone be so stupid to let other use his pAYPAL /SSN?

To gain the new IP address, the easiest way is turn off the router for seconds and turn on again. IP always changes under this process

For 99% of US internet customers, this won't change your IP. 20 years ago, yes, but not now.

That's why I told OP it probably won't work. I can reset my cable modem all day and it'll keep giving me the same IP.

eBay collects and remits sales tax now. Argument voided.

Income tax would be a different story.

Nordvpn isn't good for running eBay/Paypal accounts. It might work but there's a very high possibility of you running into problems with one of their IP's because they are a huge company that everyone uses to abuse Paypal. Ideally you want to use an unheard of niche-market VPN company whose IP's are less likely to have been abused in the past. If you try to cheap out on this you're going to kill your friend's account right out of the gate.

If you have the stealth guide, use the code from it in the forum to give yourself a free 6 mo VIP access.

it'll also show in your profile that you have it.

About your friend's account... it sounds like you're new. If I were you, I'd NOT use it and make my own account to practice with.
Because I can guarantee you you'll make mistakes and get suspended.

I bought a friend's account once, changed all the info over two weeks time, and I use hotspot tethering, switched the PayPal with no problems also.

I don't think they monitor mobile hotspot ips, everyone would be banned if they did.

If you are in the USA, there are much better sources of IP available e.g. cell phone tethering, hotspots, etc - why need a VPN?
