Building a new stealth account strategy
 

I have the ebook and know how to create these babies.

But what tactics should i use to make the account look legit? how many feedbacks would i best be aiming for before i start selling good stuff?

Any advice would be appreciated.

start buying stuff you need if the address is accessible and sell low priced items for a few feedback, then you can start selling your regular inventory. Depends on goods you are ultimately intending to sell

Use the search feature, it's your friend. :thumb: This question has been asked and answered many times here.

x2, what oompa said...

This is from my experience only and i have found it to be pretty good:

- try and give Paypal as much info as possible when create the account (CreditCArd, bank Account, social security, phone number etc.) they like that.

- dont try to login in/out sooo many times. Limit yourself to about 1 time every two days.

- once you make a sell and receive money... let the money sit with paypal for several days before you withdraw

- try and withdraw a percentage of your balance ( ex: 60%) and always withdraw about the same amount.

Also, I called Paypal a couple times with my stealth accounts and made them aware that I am new and wanted better understanding of their payment holds, fees, withdraw options etc. I think its helpful because you make yourself look like a real "normal" person.

Nice point hamoudy - you taking the initiative to call without fear...way to be proactive and have Paypal positive notes on your account.

I will do anything to be on paypal's good side :)

OOmpa is 100% Correct, Just to add: set up 1 or 2 Auctions where the Buyer must PICK UP the Item, upon winning contact the buyer OUTSIDE Ebay to provide Directions, It is simple thru Ebay you tell the Buyer to call you for directions provide you contact Number, (The same Number listed on your account) and when you talk to them give them the Items location.

Upon any Upcomming "Review" Ebay WILL SEE that you have had 1 or 2 Successful Pickup Transactions, making the account look pretty real.

I have just ordered some items like suggested to make the account look more genuine.

But i think i may have stumbled upon a problem. On the paypal transaction page for the auctions it says my address is unconfirmed. As far as i am aware i did everythin asked of me in the verification process.

The address i am using is for a well known storage space facility but i have altered the address slightly. Can anyone shed any light on if this account is destined to fail or anything?

if its altered should be ok, yes it will be unconfirmed address, but doesnt stop you buying, not a problem, just has a few issues regarding sellers protection thats all...
