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.
