Newbie with a few questions about going stealth
Hi folks, great forum this. I too have recently fallen foul of eBay's flawed DSR system. Having being warned my despatch times were too long, I was recently told my performance hadn't improved enough since January and subsequently restricted indefinitely from selling.
I have hardly sold anything in that time, but what I have sold was sent super fast with an extra dose of effort to avoid exactly this. It seems that my actions were entirely pointless and the die had already been cast.
I've read the stealth eBook and have a few questions:
1. I'm in the UK. I already have a business set up under a limited company, but one of the cards is on my existing PayPal, so I guess that's now a waste of time as I can't use that card or the associated bank account?
2. How likely is me using a variation of my name, I.E. Jim instead of James, and registering my address as my next door neighbour, likely to bring up a flag?
3. I am fine to set up a new user account on the PC and use a private VPN to change my IP address each time I connect. Should I run a VM for account access to make things even more secure?
4. Any issues using a bank account with the same bank, but a separate account completely to what's on my existing PayPal?
I should add that I don't rely on ebay so I can wait 30 days to start listing things. I take it I am OK to buy things as normal on the new account?
I'm a bit reluctant to go to the expense of setting up a new LLC as opposed to just calling myself a variation of my name, but if I have to I will.
Thanks all.
