Opening up a new account in my moms name

ShadyGirl · #1 10-18-2010

I was thinking I should open up a account in my moms name, of course with her permission. She lives about 30 min away from me in another state. I plan on selling legit things I get wholesale from my work (lawn/garden/chemicals) same things I was selling before. Do I need to take all the same steps in doind this like buying a prepaid debit card and things? I have a savings account I have not used yet I was going to link to the new paypal. If you could please give me some advice on this would be very appreciated, i'm ready to get this moving, tired of sitting on all this stock.

Never the best idea to open accounts in friends, family, etc. names - that's why we go stealth =)

Whether legit or not, the problem is if you get asked for ID Verification - would you really like to provide SSN and other info of your mom to ebay/paypal? I know that I would not.

In your spot, I would use the address with a twist to it (like 123 Kent St becomes A. 123 Kent St. or something) - use different name and keep all other aspects of the stealth guide/forum info going.

why not open a stealth account. which is smart way to do biz.

I also suggest not to use any family members name.

You really do not need to.

It puts them in a bad position if something goes wrong.

Stealth account is the way to go and no family member has to be involved.

Well I'm still not sure on how the stealth account works. I really don't know what could go wrong with this account to make it be put on hold, only if the link us. Plus she doesnt even have a computer and will never have a need for paypal.

If you can I would buy the Stealth Book showing you how to do everything you need to know.

Im asking the question Im sure we're all wondering... what makes you think this account will not have problems, as, if you are wanting to use your moms name for an ebay account, you obviously have had an ebay/paypal account suspended in your own name.

I would also suggest going stealth, rather than possibly putting a loved one in an unpleasant situation in the future.

Well what got me on paypal was from about 5 years ago, and I had forgot all about it. Some PSP I sold and someone didnt want it because it wasnt the version you could mod. When I started selling recently I had a very high demand for my product, and as long as I dont do anything to get us linked why the hell would I have a problem with them. Paypal and ebay are both starting to make me sick. I dont know who they think they are. Right now I have $700 sitting in a account earning those *******s interest. As soon as I can i am going to open up a webpage and be done with the both of them anyways.

You seem convinced that nothing can go wrong and that's just not true. Tons of stuff can go wrong that have nothing to do with you. There are lots of stories on here of people putting their family's on the hook for debts. Big ones.

You also say you dont understand the stealth system. Leave your mom out of it and learn stealth. You cant have it both ways, sorry. You need to learn how it works. There is no easy way out. By not knowing the system your moms account may not last long anyway.

Its hard to wrap your head around the system sometimes, I know. But by learning it you give yourself a huge advantage when playing with those clowns.

ebay trains its team to make sure there are policy violations in every seller account . I would like to see sellers step forward and claim there in none in their account - I doubt you will find any such seller.

This is used as a defense later should there arise a lawsuit by a seller against ebay, in which case poor policy violations are cited against the seller in court. As told to me by an ex-ebay employeee who was in "management" position. Its nothing but manipulation in a major form by ebay. Hope that helps.
