How to get items shipped to a bogus address?
 

How do I go about getting items shipped to me from eBay? I used all bogus info to create this account and wanted to buy a few items to build it up.

Contact a seller selling the item you want, and ask if they will ship to your grandsons, mothers, sons,etc house that lives in another state, get creative with it.

You can also just create a pp buying account, and ebay just to puchase items, even if its your real info, and you are banned from ebay, they never bother buyers, its the seller accounts their after.

Are you sure about this? If you are banned like 5 years ago with real info, you think you can open a new Ebay account just for buying and not be linked/banned?

I can confirm this, I have 5 selling accounts with ⊗⊗⊗⊗ info and 1 buyer account with real info.

I just have the buyer account linked to my CC. I rather not waste a bank account on a buyer account. Also, if something fishy goes on, I can do a chargeback via CC. You can't do that with your bank.

Thats really surprising.

Are you allowed to open a buyer account even if u were suspended indefinetely with your real info?

^ Yes you can

Not recommended. Users doing this are finding that these new accounts are getting hassled by ebay. preferable to continue to be stealth.

Was the fashion for a while but it's starting to backfire. ebay is checking new accounts much more these days.

Think of long term methods rather than quick fix:pop2:

You guys that are in fact doing this. are you changing user ids and IP address each time switching from and to that account so it doesnt conflict with your stealth accounts? I am assuming so but wanted to know how you were doing it.

Yes, doing the usual changing user ids and IP just as normal seller account.

If you are "suspended" you can't get on Ebay at all. If you are indefinitely restricted you can't sell, but can buy. If you have been suspended, you have to go stealth.

sweetpea: are you sure about that? indefinetely suspended sounds worse than just being suspended

Answer depends on the actual notice from ebay.

There are different types.

Some sellers accounts can no longer sell but can buy.

Some are not able to list for a given number of days.

There are variations that I have not mentioned either.:juggle:

There is a difference between suspended and indefinitely restricted. Like in my message suspended is off completely and restricted is buying only/no selling. I am absolutely positive. Read my other message carefully. Actually you need to go stealth either way if you are going to sell. You can buy on a restricted account. if that is all you are going to do (buy), you do not have a need for a stealth account. I would recommend moving on to a stealth anyway...if you decide in the future to sell, which most of us do, you will be able to.

I have a buyers account using my old genuine details. Have bought £2,000 worth of stuff in the past 3 months with no issues so far, except for the pesky sending limit :doh:
