1st Stealth Account
 

Well I tried making my first account today after reading the book for over a week and a half now 'thought I was ready' Must have done something wrong.

I used an alt name 'Mike instead of Michael' as suggested in the stealth book
got a new bank account with a new address and signed up for paypal under the new bank account, I think where I messed up was I didn't wait for the verification of my bank account to go though '3-5 days' and just added a prepaid Walmart card I just picked up yesterday to be able to list on my new ebay account I had to add a card to my paypal account as the bank had not been verified yet.
Listed one Item and got an MC999 message stating -
Thanks for selling on eBay it's important that we speak with you about recent activity on your account. Your listings have been removed until we can talk with you.
to prevent your account from being closed please contact us within 48hrs.

My question is should I remove my card let this account close and wait tell my bank account gets verified. Or am I already screwed with this bank account and my new address and new number?

Thanks for the help guys

You put in some stealth work - why not try to deal with the MC999 message - call them up and see what the questions are. I would not let this account die just yet.

Also - begin other backups :thumb:

Not waiting on it to verify and having patience killed it.

I am not one to call but what do you have to lose?

Dealing with a MC999 is also a great way to learn about how to deal with suspensions. Dont just quit

Usually it is pretty easy to deal with MC999. Try to call and don't give up. It should be great experience for further stealth accounts. Good luck!
