phone number on stealth accounts

[moxhp]

If you use the same phone number that is on another stealth account, will it be linked? Is there anyway that paypal checks the nunbers against anyother accounts ?

Yes. Scoop a prepaid phone or number forwarding service.

Yeah if you did this it would 'link' the accounts - therefore if one went down its a high probability the other one will.

Also if they see different stealth accounts with different names and addresses but the same phone number this will arise suspicion and may prompt them to ask for docs.

EVERYTHING on each stealth account needs to be completely different to prevent them from becoming linked.

This is basic stuff OP - get with the programme!

If the other stealth account is different intro, using the SAME anything creates a link.

You must practise keeping everything different if that is the way you are operating accounts.
My answer is based on that, and that alone.

Here's the background: if an account gets reviewed, ebay/paypal discover 'common' things. This can range from

phone number
user name
email address
items listed
IP
etc etc. (pay attention to etc etc )
If the account is marked, having any of the above is enough to cause limitation.

Hey moxhp,

As mentioned above, using the same phone number would certainly create a 'link'. It is very simple to get a seperate phone number, so don't even risk it.

Every piece of information must be different to seperate PayPal's properly.

Good luck
