Safe to make purchases on Stealth Aged Business PayPal account?
 

I have a 6 month old stealth Business PayPal account. No holds and has probably received 40k+ in 2017. The business address on the account is my actual address. When I first created the PayPal account it was a Personal stealth account(Name, address etc is stealth). I've never made a purchase on this account because I'm afraid the shipping address would throw a flag because that address is linked to a banned account. Is it safe to make purchases on this PayPal account and have items shipped to my real address?

It should be, given what you've said.

I always use a PO box when possible as my receiving address. Most accept UPS/Fedex with no additional charges.

That's what I'm thinking but want to be sure before making a purchase. If I lost this account I would be devastated. Put a lot of work in this account.

I could but it's too much of an inconvenience to pay a monthly charge for a PO Box. I would rather use a relatives address for shipping than that. If I can use my own then that would be best.

A PO Box at the Post Office can also be a street address. Simply use the actual street address of the Post Office itself with Suite # as your POB #

This does work because I've done it myself for years without an issue.

Solves the problem of some merchants who don't ship to PO Box addresses.

I used to do that also. Then I had one of the post offices return 70 or so packages because I used their street address.

Some of them can be very aggressive about that.

Don't be concerned about the 'incovenience' of month post office payments, they make you pay up front for however long you want it.

But that isn't the real reason, the real reason is you don't want to pay for an address.

$20-45 for 6 months is a modest fee to not have any issues. Cancel at any time and get unused months money back. I opened one for one item return from an ebay sale while traveling and closed it the next week. Cost a few bucks.....

Use
Name, Post office address, Box Number and zip code. No issues for UPS, FEDEX, DHL or having items returned for not having the box number.

I called 3 USPS offices and they told me they do not have "street addressing" and I must use the PO box to receive mail. I knew I read somewhere they did. So I googled and found another form you must sign to have the ability for 'Street Adressing". It is simply the street addressing form. I went to the USPS near me and simply asked for the form when I opened the box and it was the same person who told me I could not do it when I called. And know I can use street addressing.

What USPS tells you and what's actual fact are two different things.

Anyone who has dealt with the PO long enough knows this is the case.

like i said,
Name, Post office physical address, Box number, zip code....

No need to add PO and no issues using this.
