If you're going with one account to start, I'd just get the IPBurger 'fresh' VPN service and do either the 3 month or 12 months option (cheapest price). This way you can maintain the same IP for each account, which Ebay & PP like.



If you're going with multiple accounts at the same time, you'll either need one VPN IP for each account, or to go with something like a Mifi that uses mobile IPs to connect. There are other threads explaining how the mifi thing works.



For the IPBurger service, you get one IP assigned. You can buy multiple IPs. They use a specific program to connect to each of the VPN IPs (one at a time).



Yes, each one you order should be for a different IP address, unless you are using a 'shared' VPN provider (not recommended).



No, despite it being mentioned in the guide, the fact that you've been blackballed by Ebay and/or PP means you should not put any of your family/friend's names on a new account to permanently risk their information as well. Do not forget that your information is stored and cross-referenced in their database.. so if you decide to create another account in 5 years with your same information from your original account, they can/will likely shut the new account down because they banned you.. for life.



Yes, but if you're going with multiple accounts you are probably better off with something a little more sophisticated.



Same name/address, same IP logged into multiple accounts initially for me. I haven't had any stealths live for years so someone else should chime in on that one. Know that they can request ID documents to verify your account's info at any time (even if you get like $50 into the account.) Have a plan for that. Once the account is ID verified, it is considered more solid but not bulletproof.



Yea, you just want to make it seem like you are a different seller for each of your previously sold items.



Some people use InkFrog, but there is a thread stating that your accounts can be interlinked with their image platform- so it is recommended to set up your listings through Ebay and manage them with Inkfrog. I use ShipStation for labels, but now Ebay is banging Shippo and ShipEasy drum (I think) for their '3-day guarantee' program right now. For those two types of services, you have to link your ebay AND paypal accounts.. which is why I hesitate to make a switch to either of those platforms.

Anything you link, you need to be on 'the computer' for the account you are operating when you log in to the service and start the linking process. Typically you will log in to the service, they will forward you to Ebay and/or PP to link your account and give permission for them to operate the account. For that reason you need to separate the accounts/ips into your best manageable solution so you do not 'cross the streams' so to speak.




There are several services that do it, you can search on Google for it or ask your account seller for a reference. (If you choose to buy pre-made accounts - recommended at least in the beginning)



Excel



Fifth Third, Wells Fargo, Local Credit Union



I think it is Jan/Feb but I haven't done the limit rotation thing yet.



Mentioned above. Also maybe the same listings from swapping in new PP accounts for a currently active Ebay acct.



Too much of a pain in the ass to be a long-term solution. I myself prefer a solution I can operate from either my home or office, or ideally anywhere if travelling.



Typically they want either a bank account or credit card added in case they need to charge you for a purchase you make, etc. For that reason you'll see some account sellers have accounts that already have a VCC or VBA attached. These accounts are worthless to actually 'use' (i.e. spend from or withdraw money to.) They are basically there to get through that part of signing up for the account, then you add your 'real' account(s) when it is necessary to get money out.

I've setup several of my own accounts, but find it is more worth my time to just buy them from an account seller (especially if the account has a little age.)

Good luck mastering the art of stealth.

It's not "safer", it's the ONLY WAY that will work(regarding VPNs). You MUST have a different IP for each account.

If you set it up right, it changes itself... you don't have to do sh*t.

When I open my stealth user account, the VPN automatically connects. And also shuts down the browser in case I drop connection. You literally CAN NOT phuck it up.

You can do this for however many different accounts/VPNs you have.

You have to set it up to do so. I'm currently using IPBurger, and you can find all the directions/programs you need after you subscribe.

onegoal,

Did you think of using other methods? They are effective too.

:coffee:

Okay thanks I was going to use a more well known bank like Chase but I like your list. No issues with mismatch names for any of these banks right?

Originally Posted by ScottieBoi (Post 891047)

Nah, no problems for me. Most of them are easy to create an account online. They are all big name banks. They might not be big in your region, but personally, I have never seen a Chase Bank, so...
