Changing the Stealth Address on Ebay/Paypal
 

I purchased a stealth account with the address in another state from where I reside. I'm concerned that if a return is necessary that there would be no way I would get the item and it might raise a red flag. I'm thinking of changing the address on both the ebay and paypal sites to a "mail forwarding" company that charges $10 a month to do so from the state the Stealth account is registered in to avoid any pitfalls regarding returns. The account is only 2 weeks old and up and running (success!!!!). Would it raise any red flags if I changed the address to another address in the same area (not a po box) that the account is registered in? Has anyone ever encountered such a problem and if so, how have you resolved it?

firstly I wouldnt buy an account if I was based in US - they are too easy to make...

You should be ok, any change of address can put up a red flag, so can a mail forwarding company, as its address will share many users regardless of box number...but I know of many forumers that have a mail forwarder as address.

Or you could leave address as it is, but give seperate email instructions for returns, that usually is ok too, but there is the odd person that wont comply or sends to registered address - you can say its your dropshippers return address.

One other option is to use your real address, swapping one digit of zip code and putting door number as 21a instead of 21, test with a letter, if it can get to you, so will returns...

Unfortunately, the account that I bought is in a different state so I'd not have the option of using a one digit number change. From what you say, I should leave it alone and hope there are no returns.

No, I mean YOUR real suspended address, where you live now....! Just change it so a letter gets there - its an option, I have an account like that, it fooled the bot

It might fool the bot, but certainly wouldn't fool the 5th grade T&S person who would look at it if I were suspended for ANY reason.

^Ok agreed about that scenario, but when youve as many accounts as me, you do a little here and there and find something that can work, I would say it would be a good technique for a slow, low-risk account....

If its your only account or youve just got a couple, you can afford a mailforwarder for them...........
