Dongle for Stealth
 

I'm trying to start a stealth account for et.sy.

I have a new shop name and address.
new bank account
will make a new paypal account
new email address
new product

The main thing I'm concerned about is the IP address. I see many people have suggested using a dongle. Where can I buy one? I went to Best Buy and they looked at me like I had 7 heads! How does the dongle work? Will I have to buy a monthly plan to use this device with a company?

My fear about trying stealth is putting my social security number in. Im pretty sure that when I opened my easy back in 2013, it wasn't required. Is there anyway i can sign into my old account and check to see if this was entered?

Have you searched forums for "dongle"? Lot of threads about it. You would need some kind of plan to use it with a Service company so whether monthly or pay-as-you-go.

Walmart has them as well for decent prices.

SSN isn't required for opening stealth accounts...

how isn't a SSN required? I've read that Etsy has changed its policies and everyone must provide a SSN

There's at least...three ways around it.

what are those three ways?

Those are secrets that people won't tell you directly. But read around the forums, there are lots of hints. Or read my post. It's one of the ways. I don't post much so you should find mine easily. Don't be lazy and ask me where my post is:))) Good luck.
