What are the Pro's on Buying a Stealth Account

justskittles · #1 10-23-2015

I have considered buying a stealth account or several for that matter just mostly because it's such a hassle to get everything in order, confirming information between ebay and paypal. It would be a lot easier but at the same time, I am not sure what I am getting into. Basically I need at least 6-8 different accounts that can bring in $500 each a month. Each having their own IP address/login location. I feel that this would be the easiest way to maintain and keep them alive. I would go full throttle and buy a higher limit account but it seems like so many people still have limitations with those as far as paypal goes which would be a waste of time to me plus I don't want to bring on any attention from paypal like bringing in too much money too quick, that's why I want to split it all up. I could make all my own accounts, I have to link bank accounts to them anyways but the part that really sucks is having to link the credit cards because I would need several different addresses to have them sent to. Those of you who have bought stealth accounts, what are the pro's and what are the cons?

They are aged already

. Also how are you going to cash them? Seems like you don't want anyone to know , that's hard if you hook up a bank account I mean the irs will figure out if you get over 5000 a year im guessing

If you adopt stealth - you pay tax. There's no discussion on that front. Earn money, pay tax.

Withdraw = to US bank account

Buying accounts = high limits + aged.

Adding bank accounts to each of the account isn't a problem. I have lots of bank accounts. Yes they are all linked to my real identity, I'm not worried about the IRS. None the accounts will be linked to each other so they are each their own person and each making a profit of $500 a month, that amount a money per month will not look suspicious to paypal or ebay. I don't even think the IRS would know since banks don't report anything over $10,000. If they want to look at each one of my accounts and realize that I am making 3K a month then that might be a different story but it still shouldn't impact my ebay or paypal accounts.

Also what I am saying is that it seems like some of the stealth accounts still have issues with paypal. I can add a bank account to my paypal but will I still have limits on how much I can withdraw to my bank account?

I am fairly new to stealth myself but here is what I have done:

1. I created 2 accounts of my own, not very high limits but I am grooming them and already got increases on both of them. With these I received a working physical phone, and the credit card part was taken care of too! All I needed to do as far as Paypal was concerned was link a bank account to each one which is easy enough. I found PNC has a "Virtual Wallet" in which you get 3 accounts when you sign up for one, works great for stealth!

2. I have purchased 3 accounts with high limits, 500/25000 and 1000/25000 and have been extremely happy with the purchases and support on them.

3. I am making money with the 3 high limit accounts while the others are growing. I plan on purchasing more high limit accounts, since the experience has been so good.

4. I have purchased a couple VPN's from 24vc....VERY GOOD service! Between those and my cell phone hot spot, im pretty good with different IP's.

5. I use VMWARE so I can run them all at the same time....I was doing different user accounts on windows but I think I like this better.

So I would suggest buying a couple of higher limit accounts since it sounds like that is what you are going to need....depending on what you are selling of course.

Just my 2-cents, but there are PLENTY of great advice givers on this board....so listen to them!

I like your plan. 24vc is a great option, making your own accounts but having some high limit bought ones make a good mix, nice work!

The primary reason people have issues with PayPal is either what they are selling (counterfeits) or they try to sell too much too fast. If your sales are consistently at $500 per month, you should not have any major issues with that. Sales of $500 per month will keep you under the radar.

You did not say how many items you plan to sell. I wouldn't just buy the biggest account I could find. I would figure out how many items per month per account I want to sell and go from there. An account with limits of 1,000 items is expensive and it will be wasted if you are only selling 10 items per month to get to your $500 goal.Also keep in mind that your limits will increase as eBay and PayPal see that they can trust you.

Luckily, bank accounts are easy to get in the USA. So, there should be no issues there.

The mix is best I have a couple very high... and quite a few very low. sometimes I don't sell for weeks on one and switch it up... I do pay taxes though. I wouldn't want the IRS headache...

The higher feedback though the better BIN prices you will fetch... IMO
