Been running a stealth eBay and PayPal account due to being an unexperienced seller back in the day and getting my self banned. I have been selling successfully for 2+ years now with no problems. Only issue is I've been forced to join "Managed Payments"

What I have completed so far:

Updated my Ebay personal info (Name Only) to my stealth name + real name.
Example: John And Ben (Verified with a high rep in eBay, that this is the best way)

Added my Free basic bank account as my managed payments payout.
(This is all real information, name, number etc. - Also the verification was done with the trust app or whatever its called. The automatic program which signs you into online banking)


I have not faced no issues so far and everything seems setup and ready to go. My real name was banned on eBay and Paypal years ago unfortunately and I am wondering if this may effect my account?

My Paypal is basically not needed now due to Ebay's new payment system. This is also in fantastic standing and my eBay account is in good standing so far with my real bank information added.

Questions:
Is there a better way to do this managed payments verification without adding my personal bank account, like an virtual bank account etc? Applying for a real bank account each time for managed payments is not really something I want to do especially if I need to make multiple eBay stealth accounts.

(To whom it may concern - Stealth was the only option and was not intended for anything illegal. This was to carry on selling my items legitimately due to an unfair ban which happened 10+ years ago) Thank you.

I had all stealth details on my eBay account. Only thing which was real was my date of birth. Once managed payments came into the story, I only changed the following, added real name and bank account. I did not change anything else, address etc. Only the name and added my real bank account. I then verified with the trusty app and that was it. I don't know about any other checks which may occur or has happened, but nothing bad has happened doing things like this. It was my only option if I wanted to carry on with stealth and its worked flawlessly so far. Hopefully this answers all your questions.
