Dreams crushed, account suspended. New here, please help with a couple questions :)
 

Hi everyone, sorry for being rude and barging in this forum right off the bat with questions. I'm just freaking out a tad :)

If you guys could be so nice as to help a noob out I would be forever grateful.

I just wanted to clear a couple things I am concerned about with purchasing "aged" ebay/paypal acount. Some are pretty expensive especially with higher seeking limits established do I just want to make sure I know what I'm getting into before buying one.

Okay :).. so, if I buy an already setup ebay account with an already set up paypal account linked, it will almost for sure have been created in another city and state than me, so what do I do in an event of a return? Also, when I print out a shipping label, wouldn't it have the city the account was made in on the shipping label?

Will I be able to change the address without raising any suspicion?

Another question would be how would I withdraw money from paypal to my bank. My bank has my real name and if I link my new stealth paypal account to my bank won't they see my name and put 2 and 2 together?

I'm just really weary about dropping $200 on a stealth account and maybe getting caught.

Could someone please help out even maybe direct me to a easy to understand guide for all of this?

I'm no way new to ebay, just new to stealth accounts.

RIP 1000+ feedback main account I worked so hard on for years :(

Thank you everyone and glad to be here :)

For returns, you need access to an address not banned from ebay/paypal, so renting a mailbox (PO Box, UPS Store box, etc) is a good idea.

I like to use 3rd party software for printing labels (I use Stamps.com in particular) - that way I can have all of my stealths have the same return address without ebay and paypal knowing. It's a little extra work since I have to manually copy/paste or type the tracking number into ebay but for me it's worth it.

Paypal cannot see the name on the bank unless you either pay for something using your bank account, or if they use your bank to pay for ebay fees. Otherwise, just adding your bank and confirming it will not allow ebay to see your real name.

The stealth guide is a good option for you right now. It has lots of great information for people new to stealth.

For returns opening a P.O. Box is a good option and adding it to your Ebay/Paypal will work.
Also, If you do buy an account be sure to ask the seller IF he/she/they have accounts in your City. Sometimes the seller can make one in your area.

See my answer above about P.O. Box, also in most cases if you contact the buyer, you can have them return the package to your address.

I wouldn't change the address right away, best idea would be to add an address for returns (not banned on ebay/pp), also see my P.O. Box suggestion.

This has been answered a Billion times, always use the search function for future references. Paypal CANNOT....I repeat.....CANNOT see the name associated with your bank account.

If your worried about dropping that much money then I would suggest you purchase a beginners account, one with 10/1,000 limit.

This Guide was written by Aspkin himself and has all the basic information to making your own accounts.....

You might not be new to Ebay but Stealthing is like learning a new language and requires discipline and a lot more work than running a regular account.

OP:

Here it is in a nutshell:

The stealth guide does cover a lot of your questions plus more.
Asking questions is great and recommended, but it is also important that you get the guide
so you know how to do things and in the order they are correct.

So I highly suggest you get the guide (link in my signature) and study it carefully.

Now once you have a much bigger picture, come on back here and ask more questions.

Good luck!

The way I learnt was by asking a load of questions as you approach new situations. Lots of threads in this forum are good to bookmark. Create a folder called 'Aspkin' and copy the links and name them to something you know and can refer back to. Works really well.

Also, definitely read the basics of the guide, that will give you the basics to work from and understand how stealth works.

Good luck on your journey!
