Buying with Stealth account?
 

I am set up, been selling a few things keeping the peace, but want to buy something, what is procedure, because I have a different address, just take a number off my road so it's 5 instead of 55 etc..

Plus a different name..

So what's the score here...... Is it advisable to change to my normal address on the buy form? Cause I don't think buyer would be happy about sending to a different address... ?

Re: Buying with Stealth account?
 

Buyer won't be happy to see a different address and PayPal would be surprised to see that this account is related/linked to another one...

Stealth address should be accessible, make another stealth just for buy stuff (this one would not be much in danger even if linked to your eventually suspended account).

Did you not know that this might not pass any checks?

Sadly, ebay/paypal pick this up and link to suspened accounts.

Use a mailbox as a delivery address

Personally I would just use a dedicated buying account. Keeps things totally separated

Re: Buying with Stealth account?
 

so this means a whole new bank account, telephone number and everything else?

This new buying account though, what do you mean as a mailbox address?

Re: Buying with Stealth account?
 

Dont need a bank account for a buying account. Just a VCC

New phone number is pretty easy

Look at local rentable mailboxes :thumb:

In my experience on IT accounts, buying only accounts are left "unmolested" by eB/PP.

You should not have big issues there. I am using same delivery address as mine suspended account and I can buy with no issues.

Bank account is not needed, VCC or gift card will do.

Where would items be sent?
I have a mobile i bought for £15 with sim, would I just best be getting another sim?
VCC, would this mean any sort of credit?

Re: Buying with Stealth account?
 

To the mailbox... That is what it is there for

You would need a VCC to pay for the items you are planning on buying

You can use another SIM if that works best for you

Re: Buying with Stealth account?
 

It's £30 a month for a mail box, that is way too much!

I need a better option than this.

I really need a certain item asap to help my business transactions, and stuck now... What can I do, I need to order it today.

Re: Buying with Stealth account?
 

Try amazon... No links there.

Re: Buying with Stealth account?
 

Order using click and collect. You don't need I.d.

You pick your item up from your local argos.

Re: Buying with Stealth account?
 

Good idea!

Re: Buying with Stealth account?
 

Need to look a bit more

You can often get them for £10/15 a month
