Making New Accounts

[martyjump]

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...

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

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

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

[degsey69]

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

that's right

good information for future mp stealthers.

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

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.

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