Plan for playing long-term game with eBay?
 

Hello everybody,

I'm a poor seller on eBay when they suspended my account due to a negative feedback. That is months ago.
Then I used my GF's info to create new account. Everything seems to be ok till now.
But you all know, eBay will shut any of us down at any time so I think this is time to plan for future. :doh:

This is my plan. And I'm waiting for your valuable comments. Thank you.

As my research, VCC can be used with any information (I read this on VCC Seller 's page). So I think I would use VCC with my name on it, and any ⊗⊗⊗⊗ address in my country (Vietnam). Do you think will I get linked? Is is risky to use ⊗⊗⊗⊗ information and supply stuff to send to them when they need Photo ID, ...?
Because PayPal dont require bank account to get PayPal Vietnam verified (they need only credit card) so I think I would add bank account whenever I need to withdraw funds.

Do you think that plan is ok?

And some more questions:
- Do PayPal/eBay accept drop shipping invoice?
- . Will they call merchant? Would I need to replace merchant phone number with mine? Do they need an authorized seller or just local seller? I m confusing about this because my items dont have any invoice.

Sorry for my bad English. And thank you for reading. I'm looking forward to seeing your comment.

Welcome to the forums. I won't comment on your plan since ALL the info is nicely laid out in the forum (searching) or to keep stuff simple, nicely written in the Stealth Guide (forum handbook).

I will say that Pa yp al and eB ay do NOT enjoy drop shipping invoices in general - maybe you can make it work.

As for calling merchant, maybe - seems to be low chance but in your shoes, I would take a chance.

All the best.

Hi welcome to the forums!

Your making a start but as rsot says all the steps needed are laid out nicely in the stealth guide. I believe there are many more steps you are missing out which that would answer.

As for not linking to your previous accounts have you got a different IP or a way or changing it?

And dropshippings used to be okay with ebay but not so much now they like you to have the physical goods and sometimes ask for proof that you have them in your possesion.

Good luck!

Thank you both for your replies.

I will have a look at Steath Book soon. I saw that people are excitied it.

But I'm wondering that how risk it as when I use my real name for steath account? Because Banks in Vietnam require name on fund transfer must match name on bank account (no variant).

Thank you.

IF you MUST use your real name, play around with it - I am sure the bank would accept a transfer if few letters were off. Make sure addresses and other info are FRESH and NEW.

Thank you for your kindly help :clap:. I'll purchase a steath book and prepare for eBay now. :clap:.
Regards.

Yeah rsot right it often works just changing your name a little and using a variant of it, as different as you can make it really and the bank will still accept the incoming debit from paypal.

Also make sure your ebay name and paypal name match.
