Stealth ebook questions

Nancy2468 · #1 12-12-2011

I just brought the eBay Stealth ebay book and have a few questions:

I had an account with ebay and for a few late shipments they suspended my account. I was told that as the account get up back to standard i would be able to use the marketplace again. I stopped using the account for a few months and when I went back it shows my standard was up however there was limitation on my account. I called ebay and was told that the account was suspended indefinitely. I opened another account using a different name and address but was suspended again.

1) Per the stealth ebook, i can open multiple accounts with the same name, address etc? can I use the same paypal account for these accounts? I think that if I used the same names for the stealth account and link more than one account to Paypal if one account get suspended the others will be linked and suspended also?

2) There was mention of reinstatement form in the stealth ebook. I went on ebay site and couldn't find the reinstatement form.. can someone send me a link to the reinstatement form or PM one? Also do you know the criteria for reinstatement? I'm thinking of sending this form to try to get my other account reinstated?
3) I sell used designer handbags, do you think i will be able to list them immediately after I open the accounts; I just brought a lot (before i got suspended) to sell for christmas and i'm unable to do sell them so I'm desperately trying to get rid of them to avoid paying too much interest on my credit card.
4) will they suspect the accounts if I open all at once? Is it better to open one a day/week or months?

Your comments/feedbacks will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Welcome to the forums.

Yes the old account is pretty badly set now - good time to go stealth. I had the same thing happen to me (not for shipping but for some bad feedback).

1. You could open with same name and address and hook up all to the same pp account. I would not recommend this because you have CORRECTLY said that if you get linked, you MAY be suspended or worse. Best to make 3+ separate, ALL INFO DIFFERENT accounts with their own pp and start building.

2. Don't remem this part and I would not waste my time on it but maybe other folx have other info for you.

3. NO! Too high risk. Only way I can think of is to experiment with listing but...that's your own decision and not my recommendation.

4. They will suspect accounts more on HOW you operate them as opposed to time of opening. Example : I have opened 4 accounts within a span of few hours - I change activity with these and so far so good.

All the best.
