Does this sound like a good plan for Pseudo-Stealth?
 

Hi guys,

My ultimate goal is to upgrade to a Paypal business so I can use a company name, but from what I've been reading it's best to wait till you get close to the limit and then call PP to have them manually enter an EIN for you. Then when prompted with SS, enter the last 4 digits of the EIN.

This account doesn't have to be full stealth with VPN, different browser, etc as it's a legitimate business. I just don't want to give them my full name and SS in case any issues crop up in the future. Hence the Pseudo Stealth.

Currently, I have a aged PP account that's under my abbreviated name like so "John S". It's not close to the limit so customers see that name when doing transactions with me as I haven't upgraded it.

Would it be alright to open a new personal/premier account using the company name as the personal name so instead of "John S", costumer see "Best Buy". When I get close to the limit, I'll have the EIN entered for it and upgrade to business?

As for as withdraws go, I use BOA which I think accounts for mismatch, is there any complications I am overlooking?

Thanks in advance

BOA has always done well for me.

Welcome to the forums.

Are you using that aged PP account by itself...or with a new eb? please clarify

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have my own personal ebay (aged in good standing) that I will using along side the Paypal account. It's actually the only account that I have so if I lose it, that will be pretty tragic.

Like I said, this is a legitimate business so I have the details/EIN for it and I am slowly editing the info to correspond to my details so I can one day call in to have my limits lifted.

Is there more consideration I should give to the fact it will be linked with the aged ebay? Must the names on the ebay and PP match word for word or something?

Thanks in advance for any advice
