Has anyone come up with Any NEW ways of buying from a stealth account?
 

Just wondering..
Has anybody figured out anything on how this could be done more effectively.

Without of course the most recommended and best way having access to the address..

or



Without having to email the seller that rarely looks at his email any ways..

PO box shipping address.

Thanks!

But, i mean as far as communicating the information to the seller without getting flagged by eb.

This way we could get it shipped even to our own homes.

Just get a buyers only account. My real info is banned from ebay but not my address. Just change your name and put your real address. Oh and I put down in the shipping address, Mr....or Mrs blah blah. Or add an extra letter at the end. Its not very hard to get buyers only accounts.

Rambo, you gotta embrace the P.O. Box......stop trying to fight it.

Dont rock the boat.

It will backfire.

Be correct in all matters stealth.

Been doing the same for years. Never understood how people struggle with buyer's accounts.

Ebay changed the game plan about 3 years ago.

They got nastier about buyers accounts and the reuse of banned info.

Accounts found out have been suspended.

Also if the orginal account had really severe reasons for suspension, new ones can fail as well.

It is no longer a given this works. For the UK, chances are even lower.

Why dont you checkout as a guest?

Iv never used that feature but I believe you just add your shipping details and pay with your card. No registration required.

Re: Has anyone come up with Any NEW ways of buying from a stealth account?
 

I use my banned address, name and IP on a buyer account with no issues

Re: Has anyone come up with Any NEW ways of buying from a stealth account?
 

Have a banned address EB account and also tested guest checkout with banned address. No issues. Order whatever I want.

Re: Has anyone come up with Any NEW ways of buying from a stealth account?
 

Sure.

Others have had issues.

Better to have both sides available for consideration.

Re: Has anyone come up with Any NEW ways of buying from a stealth account?
 

I agree buyers accounts are treated much differently than sellers.

Re: Has anyone come up with Any NEW ways of buying from a stealth account?
 

I use the idea of po box personally...and a separate condo address that is never used for sales

Re: Has anyone come up with Any NEW ways of buying from a stealth account?
 

Yes I do have to embrace the po box and I was planning on doing so any how. Trust me the cost doesn't sway me.....

Let me give more info cause maybe it'll help explain.

I already have healthy non stealth buyer account. I also have a healthy stealth buyer account. The problem isn't that.

Last night I got home to a wonderful $10 coupon from eb only to one of my stealths and of course I did what any other guy would do...... bought some sperry's

Trying to keep it all in this account lol..... I know yes it's only $10 haha

You should put this quote in your signature.

Re: Has anyone come up with Any NEW ways of buying from a stealth account?
 

I've been using my banned/suspended name and address on ebay as a buyer for years now. Along with ebay bucks! No issues.

They don't really care when you're a buyer. It's when you turn the account to seller is when it triggers the bots and employees.

Re: Has anyone come up with Any NEW ways of buying from a stealth account?
 

As long as you are not a problem buyer, they have no problem with you spending your money. Banned or not.

Re: Has anyone come up with Any NEW ways of buying from a stealth account?
 

I agree , I never had any issues opening a buyer account with my real details

Re: Has anyone come up with Any NEW ways of buying from a stealth account?
 

Yes, but... but wouldn't adding a shipping address or even messaging the seller
from my baby stealth link it to my banned account???

Thats the whole issue here lol

Re: Has anyone come up with Any NEW ways of buying from a stealth account?
 

Yea you can't use real information or information used on another eBay account, that will link you if your stealth account is a seller accoun

What we are saying is , make a separate account just for buying, and unless,you had issues like to many unpaid bids, or opened too many cases , basically took advantage of the system, to get free items, than eBay usually allows buyers to open accounts in there real info even after there selling account went down

But if your trying to purchase something from your stealth selling account you need a new address that has never been used for another account that u have

Re: Has anyone come up with Any NEW ways of buying from a stealth account?
 

if you have a USPS PO box attached to a stealth account, will they let packages enter the PO box even though the name on shipping label doesn't match your real name on PO Box?
