Making New Accounts
 

Hi All,

I have a moderate number of aged business accounts with all legitimate info and all real personal info attached (EINs and my SSN)

I am interested in expanding and not putting all my eggs in a handful of baskets.

However, I have not signed up for a new account since 2015. And back then, they were all stealths. I am assuming with MP that stealth is dead (with new tax rules and heightened eBay scrutiny on accounts) How is stealth even possible at this point?

If I have no problems with suspensions using my real info could I plausibly setup new business accounts with new unused EINs?

I guess what I'm really getting at is I knew how to stealth pre-MP but I don't know the best route to go post-MP besides running the legitimate real info accounts that I have been maintaining.

stealth is possible with ebay - real info is used with MP...pretty simply that when you put 2 and 2 together...

Re: Making New Accounts
 

I'm confused. Are mp and ebay not the same? Does mp not automatically start with new accounts?

Bump... :help:

eBay and MP are not the same, when they removed PayPal they used a company called Aiden to process payments under MP.

rsots statement "stealth is possible with ebay - real info is used with MP...pretty simply that when you put 2 and 2 together..." is correct you need to read into it and its inference.

degsey69 has it understood martyjump - you can have eb registered in one name and MP in another

Re: Making New Accounts
 

In this scenario I'm assuming that ebay is registered in a stealth name and MP is registered using real info (name, SSN and address?)

Or is it ebay is registered in your name and a different address? and your MP is registered in real info?

So, John Smith at 55 Broadway Ave stealth. MP John Smith, SSN **-***-**** real address 100 Pine Street?

In the same boat

Re: Making New Accounts
 

EBay can be in stealth name and MP has to be in real name address and SSN.

Re: Making New Accounts
 

that's right

good information for future mp stealthers.

Re: Making New Accounts
 

MP is the one who sends out 1099s? I'm wondering if I should be going EIN route or just use ssn for tax id purposes

Re: Making New Accounts
 

I think you can buy account registered in US for 250-300$ on aspkin, MP easy to confirm just need to add different bank number, I make a lot of accounts and all good with MP just adding different IBAN's(Europe), so there are not problem with that.

Re: Making New Accounts
 

I'm assuming as well that stealth can be in same name as MP but diff Addy's, phone, ip etc

Re: Making New Accounts
 

Of course, yes.

Me I just use a business.
