Buying Online from Stealth Account
 

I have two stealth accounts and I don't really want to open up bank accounts to withdraw. I do a lot of online shopping. So can I just buy stuff using paypal and use my real shipping address without getting limited?

For example,

I go to forever21 . com and when placing the order, I put the same billing thats on paypal but use my real shipping address for the shipping address option. Does paypal see this? After all, this would all be done on the forever 21 website.

Please advise. Thanks.

I did that lots of times but with other websites, usually they can't see this but I always call to make sure with the website I'm buying from.

Use a variation of your address and you are good to go. Like:

Marshal street 234 -> Marshaall st. # 234

What if the address has no names and only numbers can a st or street really be all the difference??

If your buying from a website not related to paypal and paying with Paypal then from my experience paypal cant see the address that you supplying them.
It's not a problem as long as your paying your country.

ebay offers a option to to send Items to a different address...Just enter the new address on the shipping page and tell the seller to send a note with the purchase stating that this is a gift purchase...Ive done that several times with no issue

But isn't that a link?

Doesn't that void the seller protection through paypal?

I did it once at United.com. After I used papal to pay it, I suddenly found the address was added into stealth paypal account....

You could also have it shipped to a friend, or use a UPS store address. Or even a PO Box if the delivery is via the USPS. While PayPal probably does not see it, to stay safe you should assume that they CAN see it is they want to.

I agree with jeffweico..

If the billing and shipping information stays within the website assume you MIGHT be on the safe side...

but if they re-direct you to PayPal and ask to put a different shipping address on the PayPal website..

I wouldn't do it.

This is why those mailboxes come in so handy. I shop online all of the time, eB, Et/sy, websites. Just ship it to your box and you are fine. I have one through a local franchise and one at a UPS store. They hate me, I get so much stuff.:lol::cheer:
