Default Yo! New Account Tips, and Seeking Advice

Sorry admins, I forgot my og login here.

Last yr I gave up on stealth after bein banned yrs ago and then failing again. But now I'm makin progress just coincidentally on a new account. I say coincidentally cuz I was havin to make a new gmail and youtube account for another project, and just decided to add eBay in too. I just listed a first item and got $50000 limit on a personal account.

My process:
-New AT&T static Residential IP. AT&T offers a "Static IP package" add-on but you have to contact customer support. They set it up for me within days adding a new IP to my modem. This was a big surprise because I wasn't aware this was an offered service until finding it on Reddit.
-New smartphone Android device and phone #. I went with Tracfone. I got a $30 new smartphone and then a $10 plan for some data and new number. For a burner the phone itself is actually really good and I'm usin it to build my google/youtube history for my other project. But I will continue to use the phone anyway as a 2nd cuz it's actually nice!
-New browser of course on the new device. Using a new SSN (my brother's) and his clean address for signup.
-I made a bank account in my brother's name (with his perms) cuz I read eBay will now automatically make a deposit and withdraw into new bank accs to check the name and details on the bank account. I'm using Chime banking.
-I'll get a brand new laptop to run this account on with browser extensions if it checks out. There's brand new laptops on Temu for $130. I see cheaper renewed ones on Amazon but I rather go with 100% clean new device.
-For ship and return address, I got a street addressing approval from my local post office. It comes out to about $12/month. My actual account address is my brother's, but my ship and return address will be from the post office close to where I will actually ship from.
-I take photos with my good iPhone, but run them thru batchpurifier on my computer to remove metadata, then email them to my other phone where I open and use them.

This was very cheap and I think bullet proof. The AT&T static Residential IP add-on was only $30/month - and don't have to worry about proxies or leaks etc. cuz it's straight a new IP from AT&T. Tracfone smartphones $30, and then later a laptop $130. And a premium post box (that allows street addressing) where I'm at comes out to $12/month. This is a pretty viable setup to run new accounts on safely in their own device/ip ecosystem if you're a newb like me who might risk cross-contamination or leaks or looking too suss by hiding fingerprints in ways their system can detect.

I browsed eBay for a few days being led around by their recommendations, and then made a listing earlier today with some unbranded socks. Got a $50,000 limit on a new personal account.

Everything seems good, is there anything else I should be aware of to not mess this up going forward? I won't sell any VERO items, but I intend to sell some branded items (non-Vero). Right now, they are making the 1c deposit to check the Chime account details. Which matches the name

I use to do like $15-20k/sales a month on eBay. Can I just ramp right up to that again?

Hopefully I offered some good advice, but also if some vets can help advise me how fast or slow should I run it now.

I got a good deal on the post office. It was technically $72 for a 6mo rent on a small PO box. I searched for "premium PO box" and found one near me. Premium allows you to use their street address. Not all post offices offered the street addressing, and prices vary depending on location.

ATT add-on was $30 and they gave 5 static IPs I can assign to different devices. But all the 5 IPs really closely related with only the last digit being different, so I would only treat it as 1 Static IP. But it's a completely different subnet and all numbers different than the dynamic IP that I've been using.

I take pictures with my main phone, iPhone 16 Pro, because the quality is really good. The smartphone I got for $30 though can indeed take decent picts, just my main one is just better quality.

Why is ATT offering 5 static IPs?is it a marketing ploy ?
It does not sound like you are getting 5 different IPs ?

They can give many more than that, but they are used to monitor employees in an organization and not necessarily for stealth.

For example my original IP was:
XXXXXXXX
Then the new one they gave me is:
YYYYYYYYY
Which is good and what I needed.
And then all the others they gave are like:
YYYYYYYYA
YYYYYYYYB
YYYYYYYYC
YYYYYYYYD

I believe this is so that the company that's requesting the static IPs can see who is doing what and when. Like buy a block of 30 static IPs, and assign it to different devices and people all under the same network.

I don't think it's enough for stealth past the first one. Only for tracking individuals and devices under the new static IP.

so that 1c check is checking to see if names match? so no more using a friends info to make an account (with their permission) and then added a bank account in your own name. wow

I mean, you sound like you’re already aware of stealth, but what is missing the details for your account.

Why not use a business account, with your real name? I highly doubt you can do that with a personal account, pushing 15k+.

I did $12k on my personal account in 3 months, though granted it was a 25yo account with a huge history of buying/selling over decades. I was selling branded stuff, and eventually it caught up with me in the form of an MC011 that was unfortunately impossible to get around. So yeah, high $$$$ selling is absolutely possible on personal but....probably not in this case, even if you aren't selling anything risk.
