Address To Use For New Stealth Account?
 

Just finished reading the stealth guide yesterday, and I have complied a TON of questions I am trying to get answered, before I create my first account...

Regarding ADDRESS to use... I'm pretty sure I am going to go with a P.O. Box or local rented box service like a self storage or something, so I have access for returns, etc. Is that still the way to go?

Also, guide states address should be within 50-100 miles of your IP address? And that eBay can Geo Locate IP down to within a few miles? Is that all still correct?? Thanks.

You can use whatever address you want. Personally I run 20+ accounts and none of them have an address which is even in my state. If a return is started I either email the buyer our return address (if the return is their fault) or I email them a return shipping label with our address (if the return is our fault).

IP address makes absolutely no difference whatsoever, as long as it's in the right country. I run an account with a LA address using a NY IP and I live in SC. Geo-locating IP's is very inaccurate and I highly doubt Ebay has time to mess with such things anyway. If they're suspicious about something they'll just suspend your account, not try to locate you via your IP address.
