Stealth account and receiving items?

[hsp]

I am setting up a new stealth account and will be buying items as well as selling. Will I need to get a P.O. Box or Pakmail type of address in order to have items shipped to me? What is the best way to do this?

Thanks.

Yes, for returns and buying items its a great idea to just get a PO box. They're cheap and keeps your real address a secret from ebay and your buyers.

If somebody whose account was suspended used the PO Box, will it not lead into loss of an account? Just thinking out of the box.

PoBox works very well.

@GoteBay, yes conceivably but...chances are LOW...ESPECIALLY if you vary up the address

I guess my question should be can I use my suspended name on the information when I setup the P.O...or mail box? Or... I am guessing that the name has to be my new Stealth...name?


Thanks.

Any information you enter into eBay, can and may be used against you in a case for any MCXXXX; so be careful what you type and save in eBay.

Usually rare thing to happen.

For some P O Boxes, a street address is given.

That can be effective as a new stealth address.

Varying up the address is risky as it can be detected on a manual check.

Sadly a few users got stung trying that.

Thanks.

There are ways around the issue. You need real ID to open these. Then you can nominate a different person to access the services.

Yesterday you posted you have several PO Boxes for returns that you use.

Now you mention varying up addresses.

How can you accept returns with varying up addresses?

And, how does varying addresses work if you are forced to call and asked questions and your varying address idea fails and gets someones account canned?

Bad information leads to people losing accounts.

Current manual reviews and current forced calling to ebay has changed your posting about varying address.

What happened to your constant testing of things?

Have you not tested lately? Because this method has not worked for a long while.

Many mom and pop type boxes will allow mail to come in with business names on them.

Sign up with real info, tell them mail will be coming in your business name and ask them to note this on your record so mail does come in without hitches.

You can vary your name safely too

Do you do this?

Or just suggest this?


ebay are not stupid.

We are finding when we analyse suspensions name variations are flaky.
