| fadetoblk | 11-26-2018 10:52 PM | Average Cost of Stealth Acc Setup? How much have you guys spent setting up a new stealth account successfully? I have everything in order, just waiting to get the courage up to start. I don't have much money to put into this stealth thing right now, so from what I have put together, I'm only going to have to pay around $20 for a good fresh and dedicated IP correct? Anything else I need that involves money? |

zenohki | 11-27-2018 02:05 PM | Re: Average Cost of Stealth Acc Setup? For me, £5.00 on a new sim card and maybe £0.50 in VCC fees (£5.50 to set up but I use the £5.00 credit paying et.sy fees). The rest I do myself so just costs time :) |

If it used to be your source of income then investing a bit in a new account shouldn't be the worst idea. If you're a hobbyist then 20 bucks might do the job or maybe you'll need to invest another 20 if you fail.
Just getting a fresh IP isn't enough. You can get that by restarting your router for free. |

It's cost me roughly £2.50 if I need a VCC. Normally only 50p max as I use a dongle across many accounts so this is a shared cost. In the UK it's very easy to obtain high limits. Easy to go from 10/£650 to 1000/£20,000 in a week. My last few accounts went from 10/£650 to 1000/£20000 with under 10 sales. Most tend to go from 10/£650 to 500/£10,000 very very often. |

I don't sell anything infringing anymore on my main one, but I've read horror stories and know how Etsy is. Would just like to be prepared. I know I need more than a new IP. I was just asking in case I missed anything. |

Re: Average Cost of Stealth Acc Setup? VPN Subscription - 3 month subscription with IP Burger or 24VC is around 50/60 Cant remember exactly.
Pre Paid mastercard/visa - I like to put $30 at least
You can use an online phone service for free or buy an extremely cheap sim card online. Thats if you care about owning the number you sign up with (you should just to be safe).
Everything else can be done for free.
You will be looking around $100 total.
The issue is when you make the stealth account, if you don't get it right first time you will need to pay for an IP refresh from the VPN provider, not expensive but i think they charge 10 or 15 each time.
Its an investment, if you sell the right thing you can make the $100 back in 30 mins lol.
Good luck! |

I tried to use a revoult card and got an email saying

The problem is its not just a card number it requires

My only cost is the cost of mobile data. I use a dongle and buy 3 mobile data sims. I usually make 20 accounts per month at a cost of about £10 in mobile data, which is 50p per account. 99% of the time I will add a bank account verified paypal to ebay and I can start selling immediately. Sometimes I am asked for a card to be attached by ebay before I can sell. I then add a VCC that costs me £2. In the UK you can get free sim cards.
This is specific to UK accounts as I don't make US accounts.
It's really cheap to do stealth in the UK. Even easy to increase limits. You just need to know how. |
