How do I get a merchant account with STEALTH info?
My problem is simple and I fear the solution complicated. I opened a stealth account on ebay and paypal. Followed all the rules from the amazing Stealth Book (a must if you are to sell on Ebay). All went well (80 FB positive, perfect "stars" on ebay plus cautious fund removal on paypal). The WORST happened. Paypal wanted ID information of staggering proportions. With help from the BEST on this forum and STEALTH, I got around the ID stuff. But...I'M STUCK on the SS number and paypal won't BUDGE. They are holding almost $5,000 of my money and I don't know when I'll get it. I still have some auctions on Ebay. I would like to continue with this ebay name if possible. I need to open a MERCHANT account. I checked with PAYMATE which is an alternative option for ebay selling. Yet, after reading these forums I still am not clear on the following information.
1. If I open the PAYMATE account with my Stealth Info, then I'm stuck once more with the social security number. If I give my REAL info, will they share it with Ebay, in which case I'M DONE and back in the same position.
2. Is there any Merchant account that I can use on Ebay where I give them my real information and they will NOT share it with Ebay which has my Stealth information?
3. Is there any acceptable Merchant account I can use since I have a Stealth name?
I'm really in a quandry and need help quickly or I'll have to pull all my auctions so paypal does not get to hold another few thousand dollars
