Stealth Address

[Aguero]

I read in the stealth guide that when i choose an address it should be listed in my general area, usually within 100 miles of my IP address. And the best option is real address which i can access.

Is it good idea to choose an real address in my neighborhood with same ZIP code, and i can just mix the numeric portions i.e. entry №, floor №, apartment №, to pass AVS check ?

Thanks in advance

I would say, so long as the IP address is within the same country, you should be fine.

As for address, the reason why it says an address to which you have access is so you can deal with returns. Otherwise you wont have access to your returns.

Ok. Thanks.

Address is in the same city and matches IP address city, also ZIP code matches the ZIP code on my debit card. I was worrying about can eBay and PayPal in some way checked the address ? Here in Bulgaria there is no such register/database like UK and US.

At the very least they should be able to cross check the "numbers" on the address against the "numbers" on your card - to see if they match, partially match, or dont match at all.

Back to my previous post, you need an address you have access to (for returns), one thats not been used before.

Do you have a mailbox you can rent in your country? Or if you live in a smaller town, perhaps make a deal with a person you know to receive your parcels.

Yes. So long as its not been used on one of your other ebay accounts before (or it could link it).

Thanks a lot again

I hope you enjoy a wonderful Christmas!

Any address that's different than the previous one you used before.

Good. I was trying to match the ZIP code and trying to find real address in ZIP code area.

That wont be necessary. Just an address you have access to for returns will suffice.

[Aguero]

Cool. I made last stealth with matching ZIP code. Will see how it works.

Two weeks eBay browsing enough to make history before making first listing and do i need to browse PayPal too ?

A few different days of browsing history would suffice. Good idea to click a bunch of links on PayPal - that would suffice.

Few different days, this will make things to move a lot faster. Thanks for the PayPal too.

Browsing history isn't as significant as you think. You don't really need to spend weeks browsing - So long as you start by selling low risk items, that would suffice. Though a bit of browsing history does help.

Great news. I made my first stealt with a lot of browsing and i am selling low risk items, with two nice votes from buyers Yesterday i made my second stealth and i will be able to sell at the end of the week Now i see that the whole process is not slow as i thought.

Right - the first account always takes longest to take off because of all the reading/questions involved.

After that, it's a piece of cake.

It's time to make few and practice a lot.
