Ebay & Social Security Number
 

Hi all,
I was able to register a new sellers account with Ebay and included a new bank account, address, proxies, adsware etc. The only thing I'm confused about is how to circumvent the social security number issue (USA seller). Other that one issue I think I've studied and implemented every stealth piece of the puzzle. Just can't figure that one out. Thank you!

:help:

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

its better to provide your one in case they ask to upload documents and proofs, can also use stealth one but only if u got corresponding docs for that

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

How can you use the same SSN twice? How can people create dozens of stealth account? You can't be using the same social more than once.

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

One way is to register business EIN

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

Right but they only provide 1 per SSN. Applying for a new LLC each time is $125. Certainly not feasible for the majority of people with the assumption that you will be banned multiple times for various reasons.

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

Perhaps if you apply for the EIN number before registering the LLC you will see how the account fairs in the early period and if suspended do not register the LLC and as the turnover would be small a 1099 would probably not be issued.

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

This was the issue I had a couple years ago from this same site. Apparently that seller is not still active on this site any longer.

I paid for my eBay account, never even got to the point where it could be suspended, never got out of square one, never was refunded.

Sounds like that’s where you’re at if you’re not able to list or even start yet. A business license is around $100 each in my state and a LLC is around $120-$130.

I do appreciate that this site lets messages go up live and do not review them first. I hope they continue that and I hope they do not remove posts.

That being said, the more I look & the more people that I see currently posting things it almost seems like the same type of sellers that I see on Fiverr a lot of padded (⊗⊗⊗⊗) feedback/ reviews a lot of one person lies, and another person swears to it.

Myself, and I would assume the other people that are looking on this site are desperate. For whatever reason were banned from eBay, and looking for an alternative to get back to selling on eBay. If we give a real Social Security number, the account will never be able to start.

The only way I made money on eBay was doing volume , having 500 or more items listed. Does anyone on this site have 500 or more items listed currently using a stealth account?

More importantly, a stealth account that they purchased or made themselves in the year 2023?

I saw other post of people mentioning, they have several ebay accounts running with a few things listed.

I am trying to do this for a living,not as a hobby.
if anyone has a real seller that’s dependable that can count on and if this gentleman, that made this post can get his Social Security issue, resolved, I really want to buy an account if they do really exist.

Right now, I’m wondering if it’s just not a lot of (all) scammers on here taking advantage of desperate people?

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

At the time I posted my last post. There were five members online and over 400 people visiting.

That seems to be about the general number, when I log on. There is a never ending stream of people booted off of eBay looking for an alternative.

I never ending stream for scammers to take advantage of desperate people. Trust me. I want there to be an honest seller that we can go to that we can depend on, and we can actually get a eBay account up and running if some of these people that are just watching these 400 people sign up. You have a Voice.

Every post were sellers hop on it’s one mystery or one riddle or one little sliver of hope there’s no concrete answer.

There’s no reality, it’s all smoke n mirrors if there is a real seller that somebody can depend on and be a seller that get us on eBay at the level that we can do it for a living please please please please please let us know.

If you buy a stealth account which come with a SSN and you dont know that person,his creditors and tax agents could seize the fund in your account

years ago,there are some who open an account in a foreign country so they dont have to give their SSN?
Does it still work?

Is there someone in your family or neighbor or friend who would let you use his SSN,go into business with him

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

Right, and that is not a realistic solution.

How Can anyone run a business and be looking over their shoulder every waking moment waiting for the other shoe to drop?

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

Well... the thing is you'll always look over your shoulders unless you are alone in your own platform.

It's just the reality and we focus on getting better and having backups.

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

Hi Jeff, no - haven't received a legitimate answer. I haven't met anybody who has created a stealth account on their own either Jeff. The advice is always to buy the Stealth Book, which I have....I've watched the videos, followed the steps but am stuck on the social security aspect. Nobody seems to give straight answers so we're on our own in the dark, attempting to learn what seems like an impossible lesson.

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

I saw senior members mentioned that they can help,
now is the time to step up and help.

who can help with this issue and help someone that has bought an account recently on this site be able to actually use the account.

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

have you looked at the ein llc option yet? 125 is not that pricey for good business investment

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

does she have to give the last 4 digits of SSN??

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

good point - i'm not certain these days if the last 4 digits of ssn are still asked for

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

I have looked at that. I would like to see a couple of these issues that People are having resolved before I purchase anything.

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

From what I understand Currently, sellers have to give full Social Security numbers in addition, photocopy, and send in a photograph of a drivers license.
I don’t know if having a business account or a LLC can eliminate that?

I have talked to a couple people that started Amazon accounts and Amazon are having meetings with people that are registering the accounts on zoom.

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

if she forms a corporation,there is no SSN.
Like asking GM for its SSN??

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

Best method is a EIN per ebay

Makes for solid accounts and it's not that expensive

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

Sorry for my delay - (2 kids, haha) But yes, they require your SSN so the only option I see is to provide an EIN but like I said, $125 per LLC to obtain the EIN is too pricey for a chance that the account works. I've tried a few already and they were banned immediately so I can't invest $1,000 for 5 attempts.

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

Thank you for the update I was hoping you were going to post again.

The bottom line is the account that you purchased is completely worthless. Well, unless like you said you get a LLC but then there’s a chance that like 99% of the post on this site say that once you list something it gets taken down right away anyway and account gets suspended.

I made a post a couple weeks ago here. The title was not suspended. I will elaborate on that a little bit ,I went the route of using another persons account with a LLC for payments, I paid all the taxes.

The good news for me is it did work for me for over three years and I had the payment method. Everything was going fine out of the blue Ebay requested a photo ID, which I was not able to provide of course and the account is not banned but it’s in limbo and they kept over, $3000 of my income.

Once they stop doing payouts, I refunded the transactions that I was in the middle of and request the person I bought the account from to respond but they never did so the account is dead and I am out over $3000 that’s what brought me back to this site to look for another possibility, the reality is it’s just not possible for long-term to use a stealth account in the year 2023 and beyond anyone on here I believe is just scamming people that are desperate like myself.

I’ve been saying this for weeks and have been begging to be proven wrong. I’m talking about a real account where I’m making real money $2,000 to $3000 a week in sales at least.

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

Why are your accounts that you create being banned right away? The EIN cost is a fraction and should be negligible if you are making money from the accounts. You have to make sure the EIN is a fully registered LLC (not sole prop or they will ask for ssn). You should register the LLC with the state, make sure it is verifiable with a state website, then also request a free EIN from the IRS. When you register the account, with the new address, the name won't matter as long as the EIN has a positive search on the state database. When you start creating EINs the same day as an account, the system can't find it, and if you default to sole prop and use SSN it will probably match you.

**Edit** I think you should also drop the proxies and adsware stuff. I don't know much about it and im sure it has worked before, but the best and most sureshot way is to avoid any of the frills in my opinion. If your RTC or MAC ID is leaking and its tied to a suspended account, thats a quick ban. I always use a cheap laptop ($150 tops) and a mobile hotspot 4g router, and nothing can ever be traced to the previous accounts.

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

If I were to use an EIN and they request for me to upload my driver's license, will that lead back to my previous account and ban me? I'm wondering what to do when I have to enter my legal name and address. The EIN gets me past the social security number issue, but do I have to put my legal name?

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

SO you do have access to the stealth guide I can see.
If you do everything the guide tells you to, you should be good.

Whenever they ask for an ID, that means the account is flagged.

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

No, they aren't allowed to store drivers license information, they use it and destroy the data. Enter your legal name, verify your ID, make sure you have a new address, new EIN, new credit card and bank account and never use the same computer as the one with the suspended account

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

They say they aren't allowed to store dL info...but they can store parts of it i believe

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

I believe its against the privacy act or something similar. Maybe they do store some info, but no SSN is present on the DL. I think they are comfortable tracking users with all the other browser tracking, IP, fingerprint, etc and they dont even need to store DL, IMO.

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

Worth a shot, for sure. I was able to get an EIN so fingers crossed. What about name? Isn't that the easiest way to track us?

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

Technically, yes, however many people have names that overlap, so they don't use it for affirmation.

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

rightfully so - lot of overlap

Re: Ebay & Social Security Number
 

Thanks folks. Another question for the Guru's...if I have to shut down my computer to reset several programs, and my anti-detection software is off for a minute or two, will that ban my account?
