| aurilus | 11-02-2010 03:27 PM | ebay stealth question - is it expensive to start from scratch? Hi all,
i am looking at starting from scratch.
I am only on a mobile dongle for my ip which has been banned ...
My question is .. is it expensive to start from scratch?
roughly how much will i need to fork out to get a brand new ebay stealth account up and running?
please summarise eg:
new connection (for new ip): £ ??
(cheapest possible please! please note i live in a block of flats and am unable to get a connection put in, so dongle is only way?)
ebay stealth guide: £25
prepaid credit card: £ ??
...
...
Thanks guys |
I can't really break it down for you dollar-wise since everything can be found for cheap but I would set aside about 50 start up costs - not including the cost of IP and (if) your bank account costs (I say if because you can get a free checking) since that varies. |

With regards to the IP, what options do i have aside from a USB dongle (remembering that i live in a block of flats so can't have a connection put in).
Thanks for your help |

Thanks for your help | do you not have a telephone line, if not it costs about £99 to have one put in then go on aol, you could also try virgin media, if its in your area its free and just costs £10 per month line rental, then every time you et booted just change your number, i have both bt and virgin, bt normal number plus internet, virgin ebay/amazon, at least if that one rings i no its gona be ebay or paypal,every time you disconnect from the internet with your router with aol you get a new ip address, also buy the amazon stealth book, i did it has a lot more in there to avoid being linked |
jamblix | 11-03-2010 02:21 AM | For me it's:
$25-$100: new checking account, just as an initial deposit, you don't need to "spend" this money
$20-???: for a new tracfone+minutes
Hm, that's actually it...I thought there would be more for some reason. So a total of $20 for a tracfone is basically it. |
Jamb, aren't you forgetting prepaid card and what not? |
jamblix | 11-03-2010 04:47 PM | Nope, you know I'm glad you mention that, I never had a reason to ask. What's the benefit of a prepaid card? A checking account is all I ever needed and it works great. |
lagoonclub | 11-13-2010 09:03 PM | For me
Ally.com bank acct - $5
my1voice.com phone number - $5 a month (used to use ATT prepaid SIMs, but became too costly, and unused minutes expired after a couple of months, etc. Also, couldn't receive calls unless my SIMs were in)
vanilla visa prepaid - $25+fee
have opened 7 stealth accts so far, working good so far but the 10 listing limit is very annoying |
Paddymac | 11-16-2010 09:09 AM | Im in the UK too and a "step" bank account with Natwest was easy and free to set up, took a while for all the paperwork, but all sorted in about 10 days.
I set up entropay for approx £10 in total and a phone line from soho66 £2per month diverted to a landline I have.The most expensive is the mailbox service as my address will be linked. I havent got the mailbox yet so havent opened the new ebay and pp accounts for this stealth account. |
