eBay Stealth Setup Steps
 

I was banned on eBay years ago. Please advise if these steps will yield a good chance of making a successful stealth account with high limits.

-IpBurger residential IP+ antidetect browser.
-Create eBay account using a new gmail account + store bought tracphone, while being on the new residential IP + new browser profile.
-Browse eBay a few days, then sign up for a seller business account (using my father's clean SSN/credentials, and a freshly created EIN business I have)
-List an auction item and do regular activity for a week.
-Start slowly listing my main items after a week.
-Clean any reused photos of metadata.

Also, is it a problem if my father's residential address on his ID is the same as mine when I was banned? Thanks

Do you and your father share the same surname?

Re: eBay Stealth Setup Steps
 

Forget the antidetect browser - it could cause issue - also, you don't HAVE to use the same residential address if you think about it...

He will need to open MP account and link a credit card

Re: eBay Stealth Setup Steps
 

Which browser and machine should I use? A new google browser on a virtual machine?

@Residential address, use a PO Box? I worry if I choose a random person's address that maybe the people who live there also have an eBay account.

Thank you for reply. 77000 posts you are a master. :hail:

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

Yes I share the same surname.
I have many credit cards or could use my father's, and a clean business bank account with 6 subaccounts.

Re: eBay Stealth Setup Steps
 

Not a master :)

Why do you need a virtual machine? Why not just use a new user account on your PC. Are you in the USA? Lot of good IP sources exist.

I like use of po boxes...

Re: eBay Stealth Setup Steps
 

Brother do not use ip burger I have very bad experiences using this ip and I also know people who also have very bad experiences.

If you can change ip through your own router account will be strong in terms of router. Easiest way brother is mobile hotspot airplane mode off/on new ip everytime works a charm.

Amazon AWS is good choice! i have been using for 2 years

Re: eBay Stealth Setup Steps
 

For eb accounts set up? I'm not following - why AWS?

Re: eBay Stealth Setup Steps
 

hi, I did age accounts for 30 days , use a virtual machine and mobile hotspot and payg numbers , but still getting hit with reactivates after 30 days, any hint you can share please

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

Hmm - I don't use the virtual machine option - I only create new user accounts...

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

How do you get a different registration address from one you're banned at? On signup it said PO Boxes are not accepted as a registration address.

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

With po boxes, you can get creative and the system can accept it...

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

Maybe the IP address is your problem. Just use mobile IPs instead if you have the option

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

Forum promotes IPBurger a ton - seems to work well for a lot of ppl but I haven't tried it out personally so no experience there

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

when signing up for a new eBay account, should you do it via google gmail login?

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

Eh? No....
just do it normally.

If you haven't read the stealth guide yet, I recommend you do so

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

Stay on the ebay website and do everything there - learn stealth methodology as SaiJin stated

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

Thanks, I just got the guide and looking it over. Some parts are dated tho.

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

Sadly, that's true about dated parts - forum discussions are on hot topics and provide new info/insight

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

Also in the guide it says you need a PO Box within 100 miles of where your IP is geolocated. But IPBurger does not allow you to choose the state location of the IP. How do you get around that then?

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

it is very easy , you just use a local internet provider

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

I wouldn't worry too much about state location of IP - just having the country IP works for my accounts in USA...e.g. account registered in PA but IP from NV would still work fine...

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

instead of mail box,some can say it is office number XYZ,but it wont fool Ebay.
Does your father work,if so,use his office address,or some relatives nearby,these days you can opt to have Ebay deliver documents like tax forms and other correspondence via emails or download,Ebay rarely sent any physical mail to our home address.
There are more than one address you need to provide ,one is residential,one is for ship to ,when you buy on Ebay,one is ship from when you sell,one is return if buyer wants to return an item back to you.
Take a look at your Ebay account !

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

Have you worked with mailboxes agent? These do work well - of course a lot depends on how an account is operated

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

So idk if this changes things, but I set an automatic rule to refund buyers who want to do returns, with no return necessary. Does it matter when considering I won't be receiving any mail or returns? I was reading to use the post office address + PO Box as a suite # in the guide and planned to do that where it asks for registration address.

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

Doesn't really matter - the key is hopefully you aren't receiving tons of returns

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

Does anyone know why I'm getting this error?? I'm inserting the birthdate correctly. It's asking for MM/DD/YYYY. I am putting 12/14/1952, for December 14 1952, on eBay US. It's then saying "enter a valid date of birth".

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

you may have to call them

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

Very odd - sounds like a glitch - maybe just worth retrying in 24-48h

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

I got it fixed swapping browser.
I signed up as a business account with very high limits.

But I just noticed it's asking me to give a full SSN, not EIN, for a form 1099k to know the business owner in the future if I sell. Is that normal? If I give my father's full SSN there, it won't come back to his taxes right? It should be under my EIN.

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

Hmm father full SSN in the system...potential to come back to his taxes...

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

rsot what do you mean "depends on how an account is operated" feel free to pm me if you want if you don't want it on open forums. do you mean it depends on what you're selling or does it depend on what info you used when creating the account?

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

For po boxes, from my experience, it's more for when you create the account - you enter the address in a way that it isn't "seen" as a po box - things have become tighter over time for sure but you have to look at the physical location of the po box as in the address of the building etc...

Re: eBay Stealth Setup - Analyze My Steps
 

This forum is to help people.... so it doesn't make sense to do a PM.

He meant how you use the account, your activities determines if your account will be flagged or not
