Purchasing from Legit PayPal with stealth account
 

So I recently had an issue with some of my checking accounts associated with my stealth account and they got closed (Opened too many too fast on-line, Risk department didn't like it etc etc....) I have some more new ones that will be up and running in a week or two.

However I would like to at least get some of my money out NOW!

Would it be safe if I were to setup a PayPal button for purchases on a legit site with a legit PayPal account, use that button to buy things with my stealth account and then withdraw from the legit account with my debit card?

I figure just "sending" payments to the legit account might raise red flags but if im "buying" something from the legit account and maybe put in tracking info as well this may be safer?

It wouldn't be HUGE amounts........ say maybe $100-200 purchases from each stealth account. Or is this simply too risky and I should just wait if I can?

If you did it regularly or even more than once too soon, you wouldn't able to avoid getting those accounts linked, I guarantee it. There used to be a work around a few years ago that was used to death where people would filter their PayPal balances out into other PayPal accounts, and with each new account it was another connection for them all to come crashing down.

Thats kind of what I was thinking I would hear, not what I wanted but oh well. I did end up doing ones transaction this way with one stealth to just get some spending cash and so far no problems. I'm not going to push it and leave that option alone only as a very last resort from now on.

I was also looking at walmart.com....... i see you can buy gift cards on-line with PayPal including American express (the largest AMEX card you can get is 100 though and there's a $6 setup fee, pretty steep). It looks like you can enter a shipping address different than your stealth account address but my fear there is the shipping address would somehow be seen by PayPal though it doesn't APPEAR that happens. May try this with a low balance stealth account to see what happens where it wont be a big deal if i lose it.

Just straining my noggin here to see what "out of the box" things I can come up with to get some cash in my paws ;)
