Re: Do you tell your friends/family what you do?
 

often times i just say i sell on ebay. im not very sociable so only my family knows. tried explaing stealth to my parents a few years ago and my dad felt it was very shady to be selling under a different name. he always told me he wouldnt sell on ebay unless he could use his real name.

then it all becomes my fault that they cant use their real names because i got too many negs from scammers back in 2007 when i sold under my real name. i never paid fees and never got hounded for it but i still get emails from ebay saying i owe 49.~$.

I find it's hard to explain stealth. People think it's identity theft/fraud when it isn't. (Or is it? Who knows). I just explain that I sell on eBay, and I buy low/sell high. This isn't my day job either so maybe that helps when explaining to people.
