Re: Submitting Business License for Stealth Account?
PayPal will look at your business address, because if you go over $20,000 in sales, they need to make sure the IRS is given a form. So that HAS to be genuine.
Now whether that means your new Ebay account will be connected and then suspended is where we are entering new territory.
The new supposed Ebay/PayPal world is they are truly separate entities.
Meaning PayPal theoretically shouldn't share any information with eBay where they can make connections.
Concerning the fact that your ebay and paypal is based on MN address and you live in Las Vegas...when you ship, you can change the area code (not the whole address) so that you can have appropriate shipping charges. The reason why you should do this is USPS shipping charges might be different depending on what kind of items you ship. You want to stay as stealth as much as possible.
My eBay and PayPal account is based in Arizona, although I really live in California. I change the zip code (not permanent change) so that my shipping charges are correct. I do this because if the customer complains or USPS complains, eBay might raise a flag on your account.
Other threads have stated if ebay contacts you, just say your address is your permanent address, and even though you are shipping from another state, it is because either you are a student or you are on vacation, etc. Hopefully, eBay won't contact you and that would be because they don't see anything fishy.
Concerning whether you need to apply for an MN state seller permit or Las Vegas permit, I'll let others weigh in.
Best wishes.
