Old Address New Name?
 

I purchased the Stealth book but I have a few questions. Can I use the same address of an old suspended ebay account from years ago with a new name? Maybe I can add a floor number? Also, can I open a bank account at the same bank i was using? I have an ipad 3g which changes ip addresses, is it safe to make an account from there? And lastly, I have an old suspended ebay account from 5 years plus, is there a possibility of it being reinstated?

People here may not agree with me, and i have done that before, never once got suspended, if i did get suspended it was due to me not paying fees, or something of that nature.

Yes, you can open up another bank account at your current bank, say you have a checking, so you should open a savings. I never tried opening up 2 checking accounts at the same bank, just doesn't seem right in my opinion.

Depending on why your ebay account was suspended 5yrs ago, all i can say is YES AND NO.

Thanks! Any input on the address question?

As far as the address goes with a different name It should work fine as long as you follow the other steps in the ebook stealth book.

Some people may not agree with the advice i have just given you, but this has worked for me numerous times.

I have used a variation of an old address and no problem. But unless its completely necessary, I would avoid it. It is a risk. I did it for a buying only account so I risk nothing.

In my banks terms & conditions it offers up to 20 Primary chequing or interest chequing accounts under 1 plan.

I dont see how most people would need that many your right, but in the banks mind, its normal I guess.

It is perfectly normal, especially for a business owner or a landlord to have multiple accounts.

Personal Checking
Personal Savings
Business Checking
Business Savings
Business Tax account
Personal Tax account
1239 W Morse Building Account
Christmas Club Account
Vacation Club Account
Emergency Funds Account

Not to mention, a business owner may have more than ONE business and would be likely to have a separate account for each. It keeps everything separate for tax and accounting purposes.

My ip expires tonight, do i have to keep the modem off the whole day or the few minutes before and after the ip expires??

Adding a floor etc & chaning the name around is helpful. Bit it is preferable to try to have nothing to link you to anything suspended.
As I said in the pm, that should not be a problem. Bear in mind about it does create another potential link. Yep, these work. Do note that the IP range may be limited & the same IP might get recycled. I'm not sure how many accounts you are considering to have. It might therefore be a case of too many eggs in one basket. oh dear, that's like asking will the Sun rise? Why was it suspended? Sometimes they reinstate & resuspend again. Give it consideration. Do you have all the info like passwords, emails etc? Also how will you access that account should you try to get it reinstated? Using the ipad will LINK you.

I would have a new address, POBox or similar. I am NOT of the school of using anything old again. Should an account have a manual review, the appearance of old info even slightly changed can be enough to be suspended again. Aim in being stealth is to reduce factors to cause linking to be a new you beating ebay:juggle:

Thanks so much! Any ideas on the ip change question?
