Registering Stealth Account
 

Again, I'm a noob but I got to thinking. is it possible to register under a different country's version of ebay. Such as Australia's or another country since verification would be much easier than the US of opening a bank account, credit card, and virtual phone number? I've been looking through forum posts of some of Australia's members saying that occasionally when opening a stealth account it doesn't even require a phone identification. My theory was if it was possible to register through there and then sell internationally to the US ebay site? Is that possible? I'm a little weary because I've viewed ebay's policy and it's a little unclear how they allow you to sell internationally such as on the US site from abroad. But there's a possible chance that when you select to sell abroad it requires you to do the same verification...has anyone tried this or had any luck with it?
the goal here is in hopes of getting around some of the verification requirements.

It would be the IP address that is the problem. Ebay/Paypal would detect you are logging in from another country and suspend the accounts.

There are ways around it (VPN) but they complicate things further and frankly don't tend to work.
