Anytime I tell anyone about the concept of "stealth accounts" they think I'm some scammer or up to something shady. Very few people understand the ebay business model and what it takes to be successful selling on ebay. It's much easier to do it yourself and not involve anyone else.
Besides using friends info is only going to lead to having less friends. I'd be pissed off if I let somebody use my name, only to find out I could never sell on ebay because of my "friend" ruining my name.
Using the name of a friend or family member does not make your account any better. You think ebay really cares if you use the name of your Uncle Charlie, or if you use the name of Charlie Sheen? It makes no difference, they look at your sales practice, your volume of sales, your items sold, reported items, etc. . .But follow the stealth guide. Do have a real address(I'm not saying that you need to live or have access to that address), and use a real phone number(that you do have access to, at least for registration).
