Address variation
 

I have a roommate who doesn't have an eBay account and has allowed me to use his name/info to register a stealth account, but obviously his address is the same as my previously suspended one. Would it be safe to change 1-2 numbers in the address and still stay under the radar?

If your going stealth why even bother using someones name that you know? Its rather pointless.

Changing 1-2 numbers in the address and zip code does work alright.

As for using his name, technically you could and I see why you would want to do that in the event of limitation, but keep in mind what if he wants to start something on the side? What if your account gets blocked in his name? What if you decide to say fug you eb/pp on your amounts owing...it aint me?

As long as you run proper, I guess you do what you have to do.

So I could have the exact same name as an old ebay account but a slightly different address and be in the clear? :)

A slightly different address? No - slight different address and few changes to the name = ok. Paul Johnson could become John Pauls or Pauul Johson

Ah ok, I ask because with a slight change in address I dont know if it will give me the 4 question quiz to raise my limits after I create the account
