When creating Stealth Accounts, does the residential address have to match exactly with the one created on PayPal or not necessarily? Does anyone have any experience in this field please?

The address you use for PayPal needs to be a real address. Its best to use the official format
The PayPal address doesn't need to be a real address. I just transfer the money to my VCC and that's all it takes. But, now I'm asking if the addresses of eBay and PayPal stealth accounts need to match?
For a UK PayPal if you want to have a long term account then you do need to use a real UK address otherwise the account will get limited. You also cannot withdraw to a VCC in the UK.
Are you maybe not using a UK PayPal?
eBay and PayPal addresses don't need to match, but its best if they do
Good to know that the addresses don't need to match. Yes, in fact I'm not using a UK PayPal account. Will my documents get verified on PayPal if I don't attach a bank on my PayPal account?
Don't need to match but still advisable to make sure they do.
@Daniel, what do you mean will documents get verified? You may get asked...
What I meant is that if I don't attach a bank account to my PayPal account and they ask me to send in any identity documents and an utility bill, do you think they will still verify the account or as they will see that it doesn't have a bank account attached and just a VCC, suspend it? Are you understanding what I'm trying to say?
Oh right Daniel - well, if you dont have it verified and confirmed, definitely the "security" of the account is low. The COULD just suspend it but I don't work for pp so I don't know

That will depend. Which countries PayPal are you using?
