Question about stealthing
 

I'm aware its no longer possible to create stealth accounts due to MP requiring your actual SSN to match the name on the account. I made an account using my real address, real SSN and real DOB last year, I've been using it to mainly sell clothing I no longer wear, no issues yet. I made it summer of 2021 (I was banned with my real SSN in 2013 from selling on eBay) yet its still working fine to do this day

in 2014 I made a business account under my legit EIN and business name. It worked great up until early 2020, I was banned due to selling expensive laptops and they asked for invoices, I provided bogus Amazon invoices but they were rejected and the account was restricted from selling....

I have numerous windows user accounts and private IP's I use for my stealth PayPal accounts. Can I make a new eBay account under my real social and EIN and use a business address I have? Or will they just flag it right away? What other options do I have for making accounts if the SSN is required eachtime? I see that people are still creating stealth accounts but what do they do about the SSN? One guy mentioned that you can keep making stealth accounts using your SSN numerous times (just different addresses) but that sounds like it'll just get you suspended quickly

Re: Question about stealthing
 

As long as the 2014 account was suspended before MP you should be fine to make a business accounts with your name/SSN + business name/EIN + your real address.

Even tho I'm using my SSN on my current home address account? I'd use a postal annex address for the business account.... but the SSN would be the same...

Re: Question about stealthing
 

Well that didn't work, I tried to make a business account, used a new IP new windows user account, used my legit EIN and last 4 of SSN and linked a different bank account, used my business address and my real name, the account was permanently suspended for suspicious activity within 15 min... I didn't do anything.... other than just log in and check my seller hub. IDK what hell caused it... Only thing is that I used the same business address as residential address too.... don't know if that has anything to do with it

Suspended within 15 min hmm...what source of IP?

Re: Question about stealthing
 

15 min permanent suspension is the very high level. You really need to change your account creation method. Most users get 30 min reactivate account after first listing.

You have to be on a VPN, Anti Detect browser or VM ware or something that makes you look like a robot.

No, I have none of that, its just a private IP, I've used same IP's to create stealth paypal accounts that have been working since 2016. I entered my info, watched the youtube video on how to list products that's at the end of the process..... went to the seller hub and that's it. I didn't post anything.....

I guess at this point there's no reason to try again with the same EIN and SSN?

Re: Question about stealthing
 

It has to be your IP source is flagged or your browser to get 15 min suspension. That’s a very fast suspension. Have you checked your stealth score? These 2 links can check your risk score to see if you look suspicious

Re: Question about stealthing
 

CLEARLY IP address FLAGGED

Re: Question about stealthing
 

I use a stealth paypal, its never been flagged... but maybe its flagged with ebay? its possible.... idk, ive never had these issues with the paypal accounts and i run 8 different stealth accounts using these IP's.... Ill actually use celular data to make a new one under the same details, i have an IPAD with cell data

I checked the IP and it says its medium risk on that scamalytics site....

Re: Question about stealthing
 

Medium is not good at all for eBay.

You want whoer.net to look like this 100% Green everything

And you want fraud risk score on scamalytics to be as close to 0 as possible
