Re: Name variation or just different name??
 

Thanks rsot.

It might be a question that can't be answered, but "in reasonably low amounts".
Is there any specific amount that I should avoid reaching?

Always keep $25.00 in any 1 account. Thats usually most banks minimum they like to see in a checking account

Re: Name variation or just different name??
 

ok so im confused on how the whole bank acc and credit card thing is set up.
so basically i can make any bank account such as wells fargo, chase or boa and simply just go out and get a netspend prepaid card?

Re: Name variation or just different name??
 

You're not seeing the big picture.

What you SHOULD do is the following:
1. Buy either a VCC from the forum OR Buy a Visa/MasterCard Gift Card that has been mentioned to work.
2. ADD the VCC or Gift Card to Paypal Account
3. Purchase a VBA from a forum seller
4. Add it to Paypal
5. Once your Ebay/Paypal account actually last long enough to sell without issues You add a REAL Bank Account.
6. Withdraw

Re: Name variation or just different name??
 

so i cant just withdraw after i sell a few items?
what exactly does "OnceEbay/Paypal account actually last long enough to sell without issues" mean?! i have to wait weeks??
and wont that trigger some kind of red flag for ebay and paypal if i just switch my information with my REAL information.. i kind of want them to be some type of burnout account...

Re: Name variation or just different name??
 

meaning the stealths i create i dont really plan on keeping them for THAT long just to have access to selling my jewelry online

Re: Name variation or just different name??
 

ADD your real bank account if you want but if the account goes down in one week you can't use that bank account again, and that's a waste of a bank account, so the point is add a vba and once your account is running smoothly without any issues and you feel comfortable it's going to last a while then you just add your real bank account and then you can withdraw,

you don't switch your info to your real info keep the account and all details the same stealth info you set it up as, just add your real bank account that's it.

Re: Name variation or just different name??
 

Just seen this thread as I have been becoming increasingly concerned as all my Stealths so far have name variations with all other details completely different.

My first stealth was created over a year ago and I have hardly used it. As I have learnt a lot in this time frame, I have been worried about the name issue.

Slightly more at ease now.

Had a sale on it this morning and in the last few minutes I have received an email.

Limits lifted from 10/700 to 30/1400.

:cheer:

Re: Name variation or just different name??
 

It all depends on your bank. Some banks dont accept payments thats not in the account holder name. So if you are not withdrawing the money from ppal into a bank or your bank accepts any money as long as the sort code and account number matches then it doesnt matter what names you use for your stealth.

I was thinking more in terms of linking. The Bank issue I am fine with.

Re: Name variation or just different name??
 

With ebay UK, it is likely a manual review will pick up name variations.

They seem to have more of an edge than across the pond.

If possible avoid name variations....

Stealth is not linking to old info.

:peace:

Re: Name variation or just different name??
 

Important to confirm that the bank is stealth friendly :) Great posts around the forum for many banks

Re: Name variation or just different name??
 

Another benefit of name variations over keeping the same name(if you have a very common name) is that if ebay or paypal calls you, it will be easy to figure out which account they're calling about.

If all your accounts are in the same name, then you could have a hard time quickly figuring out which account they're calling about, without letting on that you have more than one account or sounding suspicious.
