Ebay "stealth" question

[Mrhoofer]

I'll call this a stealth account but really, it's not. I moved far far away from where I was suspended indefinitely. I'm not sure why i tried, but ive made a new account (5 years after suspension) with my real name, SS, possibly the same bank I used last time. It's all just legit new ip/mac addresses. I've never been good at making these accounts, but I realized my new living situation is a basically everything I need to make one.

Started with $50,000 and 5000 items cap. Funds from my first sale are on hold, the next 17 sales have all successfully cashed out, around $500.

Soooo like, when I hit $600 do I just give them my SS? Do I scrap the account and start over? How did I get this far?

Idc about taxes or whatever, ill pay them. I just wanna be back on ebay lol

you gave them the SSN already when you made this account right - so you dont have much choice at this point - see how far you can go but get backup accounts going

You really think I can just make another identical account and start over? I'll never figure out how to get multiple running without being linked...but I could probably survive that way forever

i wouldn'tt make 'identical' accounts - you would need to go new info and aim for stealth [as much as possible these days]

You got a good account.... why scrap it?? It's not easy to have a good and running account.

I'd make extra back up stealth accounts though if I were you.

My name/ss# were suspended years ago, just a new device/location/bank. Still alive 4 days after submitting ss# at the $600 check, do people typically get this far with flagged info?

Im also terrible with stealth accounts. I never last more than 2 weeks

Since it's years ago, you should be fine.

Read around the forum a ton and if you haven't read the stealth guide, you should

Yes once you hit the $500+ threshold full SSN is required instead of last four digits.

And no I would keep this account. You can even create another account using the same SSN and nothing will happen I bet.

Great clarification if no hiccups...

Anyone following...im still alive. 4 warnings for electronically delivered items and 1 vero��*♂️ still strong

Do they stop tracking SS# after a certain amount of time? Im like blown away, no idea how this is working
