I read the eBay
stealth guide just a bit ago and I have a few questions about my current plan.
My main account that had 300+ positive feedback got banned when a friend of mine sold a few of his items on it. (his account was previously banned for Vero selling)
I tried making a new account some time ago that was instantly banned as well.
Since then, I have moved to a different address and started a new eBay account for buying. Different name, new email address, new physical address, and new computer. I do not have a PayPal account linked to this account and I have always used my bank credit card for transactions. This account is 4 months old with no problems so far.
However, I know I would not want to sell on this account because I want to have a social readily available if PayPal decides to ask me for it.
Thats where my questions come in:
I started an eBay account for a friend of mine at her house on her computer. She lives about 15 minutes from me. We also started a new PayPal account and linked her bank account to it. We listed an item up for auction right away and the listing will be ending in a few days for about $400.
However, I can't remember if I have logged into my newer account from her computer before. I am not sure if my newer account is linked to my old account through my credit card number or any other information. Maybe eBay just hasn't bothered me because I haven't sold anything?
All of her information is completely legitimate. I want this to be a long term account that will not have problems with address, Social security number, etc.
Should I eliminate the risk of linking and start another new eBay, PayPal, and bank account with her information using a new IP and computer user accout? She won't be using the account, only me.
Will eBay find it suspicious that She opened a new account, sold one item, and then opened another new account shortly afterwards?
Will eBay be easier on her since all of her information is legitimate? If her account does happen to get linked or raise suspicion, should I have her play dumb and not know who I am? Or should she explain that she has nothing to do with my eBay and she is just starting her own eBay for herself.
I also read something on the forums about using an iPhone, is this a better method to log into eBay? I didn't see anything about it in the
stealth guide.
Thanks for any help, I loved reading the
stealth guide and browsing the forums here.
