Stealth Paypal/payment method for selling digital products?
 

Hello, I am starting a business selling digital products directly to customers. I need some form of stealth payment method that I can use to receive funds I plan on selling this for about 300$ per transaction and looking to be able to send/withdraw using a stealth.

I am thinking would it be fine to just receive these payments directly to the PayPal using Friends and family or goods and services?

Do you think this strategy is fine or high risk?

Unsure if I should use a personal or business account as with the nature of these products I am not sure if I would be able to verify any sort of proof/documents of the products I am selling in order to get verified.

Any suggestions would be muchly appreciated Thanks!

High risk item and high risk way of getting payments for sure.

You can use savings accounts for multiple PayPal accounts it’s fine.

Most customers will want to pay goods/services as they feel more protected the odd customer won’t mind paying through family/friends. Goods and service their is a fee of £9 I think on a £300 item sold as I was doing this while getting my eBay accounts up and running.

Your strategy is fine as I mentioned I was selling £300 items as well I will just have many back up accounts and rotate sales on each account. Don’t carry your eggs in one basket.

I only create personal accounts your only asked for suppliers/invoices if your turnover is too much or you get to many customer returns.

Having more PayPal accounts limits all of these risks.

I’ve only been asked for proof of passport on 2 accounts out 5 I created. I was asked for proof of fulfilment as well but have tracking numbers for that.

Don’t ever cancel payments on PayPal as this can lead to docs requested as well.
