THANKS TO THIS FORUM...!!
I purchased the stealth account ebook about 3.5 years ago. I made stealth accounts off and on and seldom checked out the forum. Till recently and I'm so grateful. I was killing it on ebay, crazy money... then I got a PP issue that shut me down... damn PP.
So now I'm back to making stealth accounts. But this MC999 issue would pop up when it never did before.
So here is the story on this account... sorry if it is long...
Acct Created: 7/2011 (I found about 20 accounts I made back then and never really used)
7-8-13 Set up a listing with in 48 hours of logging in again (since 7/2011)
-Added a credit card (never used before)
- ZERO feedback. about 48 hours of just browsing items
-I couldn't get in my old PP account so made a new one, WITH a new gmail... damn Hotmail accounts don't seem to work anymore.. damn Microsoft live accts...g rrrrr. So new gmail with brand new PP account. - Then added same CC
-Posted a baby toy , new for $19 with in 48 hours of setting up.
-Then 30+ hours later got MC999
- DID not link PP to gaybay acct-- but did set it up to accept payments for listing
-Copy and pasted info for account on notepad and reviewed the forum for 30 mins, then made the phone call via GV.
-I always use diff user accounts, record every Ip address. I have found my ISP will lease my IP for DAYS... so I always change MAC address on router to get the same IP for each account... something I learned from this site recently. I feel using the same IP (each account assigned one) looks better than always loggin in with diff IPs... it's like a free limitless Private IPs.

So I called Gaybay. It took 22 minutes... I kind of dragged it out. Playing dumb is so much fun. At first I was going to call in my home office so the kids in the house and TV couldn't be heard.... like an adult.. then I realized a "DUMB" person wouldn't do that so let's turn the TV up a bit. lol
GAYBAY REP ASKED:
1) My full name- (only once... I thought it would be asked a few times...)
2) Confirmed my username
3) Stated my account/. listing has no violations. They just want to confirm I am real.
4) Asked for my phone and address on my account.
5) Then asked if my address is on my DL... I could tell MY name and address on this stealth account wasn't pulling the security questions from DMV records... she kept stalling and asking ... like 3 times she asked "is that your address on your DL?". After hearing the question over and over and hearing her embarrassment I started with really dumb questions... like when do the fees need to be paid and I am also selling on Craigslist... can you help me with that too... lol. She never did ask me the questions but she was trying. She must have said "I'm going to ask you some security questions... mumble mumble... aaaa.. aaaa" Then ask the address on the DL again.
I added for effects on the phone call:
*Crying baby in background (real baby, but I will us a recording if baby is a sleep next time)
*Cartoons on TV, almost too loud.
*I yelled at my 5 year old a few times.
*Said I Lost my job, staying with family now. Trying to sell items I never used from a baby shower.
*She asked if someone was helping me with gaybay, I said my niece is walking thru it, also she asked if I know how to ship... again I told her my niece is doing it for me to start.
SIDE NOTE: When I was making tons of money gaybay I purchased 3 stealth accounts (not from this site, none of the sellers go back to me on this site). All 3 got the MC999 and at the time I asked the suppliers what to do and all 3 ignored me. I let them keep the money, over $200 all together. When I make money I am way to generous.
"If you want something done well, do it yourself."
Now I need to spend a month getting accounts set up and increasing volume. Slow and steady baby.
