I need Help... I know from reading you should have a plan from start to finish. I have spent hours reading through tangles of thoughts trying to find the information I need to get my first selling account up. IM sure I upset people everytime I post, being the questions IM asking have been answered a 1,000 times, in a hundred threads. I simply don't have the hours to dig through all of this to get an account up and running right the first time. I wont stop reading, however I need some answers I cant find or feel have been fully explained in the posts I have read. I understand joining is supposed to help you get answers to your questions quicker. If you don't know all the answers just answer what you do know for sure like 2a or 2c please.

1) You can use a PO box or a relative address to register tough they probably won't send you anything so a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ addy would do the job (make sure to use one in your area tough).

2) They call then ask something like "This is eBay calling, if your expecting this call press <something>" then they will give you your pin, you must enter this pin on ebay.com. I recommend you to use tossabledigits, cost something like 4$/month per virtual number.

3) You can use your real name, let say your name is John Doe, there may be 1000 John Doe in North America so that probably won't flag you.

couldn't have said it better myself, canadian and US accounts must me very similar huh topazcorp?

They are, the only difference is they don't ask for SS# here...

another thing i did was since my name is not a common name i changed or left out like 1 letter on my last name. so when i receive i money order i can just add that extra letter to my name on the money order.

That's brilliant:cool: I never tough of that! Thanx man!

lol thats a good idea until they use some random shiny purple with pink highlights ink..
i still think the bank should honor it if its missing even 1 letter, you can say they forgot

yeah, that's another thing. the people at my bank know me and i have been cashing a hundred money orders a week there. right now they are letting me cash money orders that are made out in my friends name. i sign his name on the back, then sign mine under it.
