I like the idea that you are thinking ahead,derro

6 weeks ago I would have said simply make the accounts and let them be. But there have been more reports of 'brand new accounts' being suspended. It is likely a good idea to fully establish them then leave them to age. Do your paypal first, verify it then attach it to the newly made ebay account and you are ready....

Hi ,thanks for your prompt reply .

I am wondering why we need to open paypal firstly?
How do you guys make sure an address is not used on ebay when opening an stealth account?
If we open an stealth ebay account with a f*a***ke name and corrent postal address firstly,then we can test if the address was used or not . If the ebay account get linked immediately , then the address must be used before.
Rather than open the paypal account firstly ,we can save at least a bank account if the address doesn't work.

If an address doesnt work? Any address should work. If you have a friend - use that (for returns), but if you get a few returns every now and then you can tell them you used a drop shipper and give them the correct, as the guide says.

No ,I don't mean returns.

I mean if an address was used by another person that I don't know (since I picked the postal address on the internet). If so , the newly opened account could be linked.

What I do for addresses is cruise around town and write down a bunch of addys. Then add or subtract 1 from the address. This way, the address doesn't exist so you don't have to worry about it being used before, and nothing can be returned there. A returned package will get stuck at the post office and all you have to do is go there and make up some story that you must have entered the wrong address online. Of course if the street's numbers go up by one, this won't work, so check that out first.

Really? Does a wrong address work? will ebay check it on USPS - ZIP Code Lookup - Search By Address ( USPS address verify)

I was used to use an deliverable address for ebay~~

I want to make sure if the wrong address works for ebay?thanks~

All my accounts are set up like this. If you enter a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ address, you get this message on the site you provided: " [Alert Icon]
The address you provided is not recognized by the US Postal Service as an address we serve. Mail sent to this address may be returned."

This doesn't necessarily mean this address doesn't exist. The postal service just doesn't "serve" it, meaning no mail gets sent here. If you use it as your return address, they won't deliver it and it will be held at the PO.

Personally, I now set up the Ebay account as a buyer account only. I only turn it into a seller account when I am ready to sell my first item. It probably doesn't matter that much but I think it looks suspicious if a "new" ebayer were to quickly create a seller account but then not list anything - why would any legit newbee do this??

As for Paypal, get everything verified and confirmed then leave it until ready to sell on Ebay.
