Theres always talk about using name variations on your accounts of your actual name. Example: Homer Simpson would be Hommer Simson...but what about using your actual name with a new address or an address completely out of state? I have always used a completely different (fictitious) name altogether and a majority of my accounts have out of state addresses. Has anyone used their actual name with a completely new (or out of state) address?

My name is a bit of a one off so I certainly wouldn't use it for stealth, I'm with pokerpro on this one, why try and use a name variation when there are more than enough things that can potentially link us, no need to create any more!

I have never understood why people try so hard to find ways to use their real name on an eBay Stealth account???
...because, for my experience, my slight name variation worked well when I attached Payoneer account to my stealth for withdrawing.
I was told (in this forum) that Payoneer not always likes mismatched names... I had one very simple difference (like Homer Simpson example above) and works just fine.
Well, I can only speak for me, but any even slight unnecessary link, is one too many for me....I've been running 35 stealths for about 2 years, never a problem with mis-matched names.......
That's a worry when you have been a long standing customer.
Main issue I ever got told about was using the wrong type of account.
Bank wanted a checking account used instead of a savings account. That was easily sorted.
Most certainly did not. Had some large withdrawals come through one account and they restricted all of my accounts that I had with them. They didn't call or email me to notify me...I had to find out when I tried using debit card and it got declined. Once I called them, they brought up all of the accounts I had and said each one receives ACH from different names, then told me they will not be releasing any funds until they finish "investigating". What became of the "investigation"? They returned all withdrawals (2 accounts) to Paypal, then closed out all of my bank accounts I had with them. No discussion, no working it out, they didn't give a sh*t.
