Linking bank account to stealth Paypal
 

Made a new stealth Paypal, i closed my BofA account and opened new one. So i now got a new account number. I know with BofA paypal gives you option to automatically verify the account by using username and login. I have used the same login on my current paypal account. If i use the same login to verify this new account will paypal see the same username and password on the new account or should i just add the account number and routing number and wait 3 days?

Also, I get between $400-$500 on a daily basis selling virtual items. Im assuming it would be smart to use different accounts so that not all money is coming in one account?

I also opened an account with Ally bank. Anyone have good experiences with them for paypal purposes? I hear they are a good online bank to use

Just wait on the deposits.. don't risk linking and losing your account..

Wow...that's great, all I read here is virtual items are mega-risky.....

Re: Linking bank account to stealth Paypal
 

I have the same problem right now with the virtual item on my main account. They requested all sort of info, I told them that i help people online with their computers and setting up their OS. I get 10-20 dollars per transaction, Not sure if i should set it up as a business account but then they will want copy of business license

Digital items ARE risky, they always will. Problem is that most people keep going back to these items and they keep getting the hammer....the come back to the forum crying about it or asking how they can get around it or what they can do so Ebay doesn't take their listings down.

Sorry i should of been more clear, I dont sell on eBay, I sell on various forums. I just use PayPal not ebay.

Also has anyone received an email saying that you can send and receive as friends and family to anyone in US but from other countries it needs to be as goods?

Definitely just wait for the deposits to show up since stealth is all about patience anyway.

And I've heard nothing but bad things about Ally. I do use them on occasion for verification only, but definitely avoid withdrawing to them or you risk getting a phone call from them.

Havent seen this e-mail

Ally bank will call you if you're withdrawing money from PayPal??? Doesnt make any sense

Re: Linking bank account to stealth Paypal
 

If names mismatch, apparently.

Re: Linking bank account to stealth Paypal
 

Yes, maybe I'm just unlucky, but I have gotten a call from Ally basically warning me about mismatched names. I honestly don't remember the exact details of the call since it was a long time ago when I first started making accounts, but I do remember them being against it.

Perhaps they'd be okay with name variations, but I never bothered with using an Ally account to withdraw to after that.

Re: Linking bank account to stealth Paypal
 

Looks like everyone is saying there's issues with withdrawing with Ally and a few say there's no issues what so ever....

Re: Linking bank account to stealth Paypal
 

You're more than welcome to try them yourself and you could have a different experience. But in my opinion, there are much better banks out there with similar offerings to Ally that are much less likely to give you headaches.

Re: Linking bank account to stealth Paypal
 

Of course it makes sense.

Banks have strict protocols.

Mismatch names flag the system.

Bank calls customer.

Avoiding such banks is the solution.

Ask yourself if you want to use a bank that has a pro-active fraud department.... if you are sensible you would not.

i've used ally for a few years without problem
but name mismatch is similar name, ie jon johnson to john jeihson
