Safe to open second non-stealth account?
 

Heres the story:

Had 3 non-stealth original accounts going for several years since the late 90's/early 2000's up to 2013 simultaneously, two wound up getting suspended for non-payment of fees. (long story)

Been using the 3rd since, but ebay has never mentioned the other two since then. I've called many times over the years to dispute cases, get negs removed, appeal and win cases, but no mention whatsover of previous accounts. Its like ebay has completely forgotten about them, and it's not like Im not on the radar as I've dealt with CS reps and managers many times. No selling limits on either eb or pp

Im in need of a second selling name because of trouble with competition knowing my name for years now and messing around with my auctions - Im in a selling field that pretty ruthless.

Is it safe to open a second legit non-stealth selling name, would that trigger anything like EB looking into past accounts or digging up old info? Or is it something where they don't bother with really old grandfathered accounts? Or should I go stealth? To me a straight new name would be much easier, since the current selling name has no issues, or don't take the chance?
