Pingpong is a bank? Do you use your real details or stealth it somehow?

That was the case in my experience before but now I know it's because I was using my own real info and that of my friends. Now after trying some more I see that it is vital to have real info - with some debate over whether or not DOB needs to be correct. If you have real name and address of someone the chances are good that you will not be asked for ID

Ping pong allows you to give any name you want with your bank account

I am using legit names and addresses but I am told that DOB does not need to be correct. However in my experience after trying 20 attempts I think it's very helpful to have correct DOB. Only once did an incorrect DOB pass without them asking for ID but it was deactivated in a few days anyways

It seems that your issue is with account name/address verification.

What's your ip/MAC address set up that's been working out for you?

I opened several accounts the longest one I've had was 3 days. I'm giving up on using stealth. I'm buying my friend an old computer and remote in for operation.

Anyone tried this?

MAC address is not tracked. All you need is a new user, or virtual machine to take care of that. Or use a service like Gologon. IP's is harder to take care of. It is much better as you say to remote into your friend's computer.

Have you tried buying a new sim card and using the phone as a hotspot for the computer? Does this take care of the IP problem?

I haven't tried that. I use a proxy service called 911 proxy. It's really handy for selecting your location but the downside is the proxies don't usually last more than a couple weeks and then you have to change your ip. May or may not be an issue because ip's naturally change every so often. But ya in theory that would work just fine except Etsy tracks the cell tower you are using so you will be adding a layer of suspicion if you are doing that in the same location you always were.
