Paying as Goods/Services instead of Gift

[stealthnorris]

Hi,

I have a few stealth paypals and I was wondering if I sent my funds to one of my aged paypals with actual bank as goods and services flag my aged paypal account?

It is EIN verified and I pay taxes on that, I don't mind paying another fee.
But would sending multiple payments from various paypals as a bogus "goods and services" flag that aged paypal account?

I know sending it as gift is a prime way to get flagged.

Send an invoice for goods to the account you want to draw from - Paypal understand invoices better than random payments

You can only do this safely if the receiving account is a businrss account

I pay an extra 2.9% in fees for the convenience but I've been doing it consistently for several years, with no problems.

- works a treat!

Then they should find a business where they can - this isn't a kindergarten, it's a stealth forum about making money if that 2.9%+ is an issue then they are really in the wrong game.

Got it, thank you for the advice!

If one aged, strong business account invoices 10 different stealths.
Would that raise a flag since that business account invoices those 10 same stealths every 2 weeks?

Not something I would do, but it's doable. I would rather use at least two business to 5 stealth accounts, sending different $ range invoices at different time intervals to each stealth account. The invoices should be items you're really selling on those accounts (at least something similar), or that account if you only use one business account.

Like I said, you need to make it look like legit customers buying from you. All 10 of your regular customers probably aren't going to call you with an order at the same time, so it won't look very natural if you invoice all 10 of your hypothetical stealth accounts every other Monday consistently. Invoice different accounts on different days, for varying amounts, and be constantly mixing it up. For best results.

If you're talking about US "stealth" accounts without a bank then none of this is possible because you can't spend the balance.
