Whats the longest standing stealth account?
 

So,

How long have you had your ebay/paypal stealth accounts?

I just had mine caught today so I am opening my second 1.

It was my own fault, I got lazy and ordered something to my home address and it flagged up right away and within a few hours I was limited :boink:

DOH!

This time I will be a bit more carefull :ranger:

Its easy to get caught out, just be patience and careful. Record everything no matter how small it is.

we've all been there and made mistakes.......

I've got one approaching it's 3rd birthday.

I'll probably throw a small party for it at the local play barn and buy a chocolate caterpillar cake.

@vxmotorsport, why not open more than one? If you do lose one of them then you can continue to sell with a minimum of disruption.

One from 2003 and several 2007 accounts.

I use them all wisely and do not go overboard on any of them.

I agree you need more accounts OP.

I never thought of more then 1 account.

How many do people use??

As many as they need.:boink:

Open as many as you feel you need to run your business successfully.

I feel like i need 100 of them.... still doing research on how to operate atleast one successfully:>

i"m going on a year now with 1 and two others just collecting time. maybe once a month i'll sell something on them. basically there back up

You were doing stealth in 2003? I started out after my suspension in July last year, so my first account is going to be celebrating its first anniversary next month. :)

Longest account Just over 1 year.ebay send me an email and said happy first anniversary :)

Created Amazon in 02 and ebay in 04, and have been good since. I do everything the right way, and havent been hassled once. I also create a new one of each every couple years.

Best to focus on your own operations OP before asking about others - get stealth well planned out and you will be successful.

I was only interested my friend

Interest is all good.

Kinda.

I made an account in 2003 using one of my parents rental homes and changed the name around.

What I did not know is I probably was one of the first to ever create a stealth account but was not smart enough to know what I had just did.

It sat for many years and when I found this board I learned how to not link it, how to use a non banned IP etc and got it going again.

It was a wonder it did not just go away as most accounts that sit get canned.

Had I known what I had done in 2003 I would be a millionaire today and would not have struggled for a couple of years during the 2007-2008 recession.

I totally missed out on some golden opportunities by not thinking ahead or thinking of what I really had done.

I could have used it when we were both laid off, out of unemployment and using our savings to pay our mortgage, cars etc.

Stupid not to remember to use this account until after I lost my main account.

Then realized they never got my SSN and now have my main account back with legit info too!

Now I always try to think ahead unlike I did back then.

***** Bang head on table!!!!!! *****

Lesson learned think ahead------


The 2007 accounts I bought after I came to this board learned how to operate a stealth account and keep them going. I like them because you do not have to accept pp.
