Yep, stealth is dead. However, other selling practices are still valid. Ebay would seize funds only if they are unable to check validity of the documentation provided.

For USA sellers on USA Ebay with info that can pass KYC a $50 investment in their own process and playing by the rules will have them back on the platform. Don`t need to pay someone to make an account when its a easy as ever to get back on the platform. ***commercial in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1*** Now if you want to pay $50 to get a USA company and corporate bank accounts opened so you can open a business seller account with proper docs then I can work with you, but, $50 for Ebay in an MP country that you are a resident of... That`s like an Eskimo paying a Jamaican for a cup of ice while standing atop a glacier.

Oh man

Pumping and dumping, stiffing ebay for fees, abandoning account when a chargeback/return happens way after sale = dead

You have to take care of the accounts now.

You can still run stealth on new accounts, however once >1K is moved through the account there is huge risk because at any point a verification request will happen and you will be forced to forfeit held funds. This is on top of losing the cost of already shipped items.

i'm so confused... I opened an eBay Stealth account on Jul 14, 2021 old and still gives me an error when trying to add my bank.

ebay rep told me yesterday that it was a 'technical error' and to try again within 34 hours and that they'd submitted a trouble ticket on my issue. same b.s. they told me 3 months ago.

i'm just confused at how many seller who have a single account don't seem to care. it's like they make a lot of money and don't care about the rest of the world...

is this real life? escheatment? they don't release the funds to your bank after 60 days?

I thought that was only in the UK. can anyone chime in?

you mean escheatment happens only if the details provided are stealth and not real? (and cannot be verified)

weird guess I can't use greendot bank for this other stealth even though my main account uses it. ebay are such liars

[yankee]

Greendot only will work if the names match. It is a GARBAGE bank. Use a real account.

I just don't want to explain to a real bank why i'm getting depositis from an ebay account where the account sellers name is "Leroy Pendleman" or "Kevin Osborg" etc.

I never once been asked. Business checking everything is game. Personal checking, no problem. Personal savings, start dumping 50-100k a month and transferring out, they might want to change it to a checking or charge fees.

Depositing mismatched CHECKS into a personal account under $2500, no problem. Over, I would stick with business checking.

Stay away from all online banks and prepaid debits. They just don't let you move money. Government is all over their asses for good reason.

Too bad we can't do that in EU. Traditional banks report to IRS way too fast.
