Getting More Stealths, Getting More Addresses!

[golden_monkey]

So with more accounts... comes more addresses. While its easy to go out and grab a mailbox PMB as these accounts add up, so are these mailboxes.

I want to have a real address i can pick up items from because i buy and sell with these accounts keeping them looking as 'normal' as i can.

so as the accounts get up around 10 how do you keep up with all these boxes!!!

its simple, have 1 main account to only buy stuff with and the others are all sellers.

Very good point by yotano.

This is something I should follow more often... However I tend to buy 1-3 things per account to "keep it real"....

Then just buy cheap things to the address on file which you don't have access to, and forget about it.

what are you "keeping real"?

not everyone buys on ebay. make your own buyers account. under your real info. i did it and im not kicked off the account. my original accounts have been booted for years and multiple times. dont even sign up with paypal, just use your credit card or debit card to pay for things. thats what i do. its simple and its all your own info.

i dont know why you would go thru the hassle of wasting time and money to "keep it real" when that doesnt even matter when looking at an account you sell with....

i think its more mysterious if you buy an odd and end here or there then nothing at all....

You could just bid on items you know you wont win

Or Watch a few items here and there

This works for me

I still believe there is advantage to have a real address with your stealth account. Its $20 for 6 months of PO Box address. If you have one return then that $20 goes a long way. Its just way less hassle to worry about ⊗⊗⊗⊗ address.

In my exp if you just sell like heck on the account you come under more heat, then if you buy and sell.

So it looks like some of you are just opening seller accounts and going wide open without any heat from ebay and paypal?

I agree, im just wondering if the post office is going to start looking at me weird when i have 5 PO boxes at one office.

You only need 1 maibox, you can email them the return address or put it on your package, but me I don't even take returns, I just them keep it.

Yes, I use this method too depending on the product. However, I still have had surprise returns in the mail without any contact.

I know if I was the individual at the address and a 2-3 packages come for another name with my address, same with returns then I would be apt to contact ebay to sort it out. I make more then $20 on every item I sell. To me it is still worth it.

Also, If you burn and turn your accounts then maybe you do not give a hoot about it. If you want to go proper, bigger, then its best to have at minimum a legit address on file.

what are you talking about? why wouldnt you put your own address on the package? i never use my stealth address when i send stuff b/c of the return reason. its dumb and unnecessary. i do that with all of my stuff. i always have. never once was there a problem.

If you deal with a lot of packages, you should thinking about avoiding using your real address anyway - like any proper business.
