Using PayPal account to purchase...
 

Hi guys,
Just needed a little advice on using a stealth Paypal account as a selling/buying account.

I have some quality stuff to sell on eBay (over 40 items) that should total £2-3K, and wanted to use the funds to purchase some items for myself, so I will never need to make a withdrawal to a bank account ever.
I’ve read the stealth guide and understand the time and effort it will require to obtain full trust with eBay/PayPal


So my main questions are:
Can I use a stealth PayPal account purchased from one of the reputable sellers on here to purchase items without adding my own bank account as I do not need to make withdrawals?

Things to consider:
I can obtain a new real address with access (for my deliveries)

Don’t want to add a bank account to the Paypal account (as I do not need to make withdrawals)

I’m based in the UK

Can this be done?

Thanks in advance

Yes actually I do this for 5 of my stealth accounts.Keep the money in there and just buy on ebay and resell in other marketplaces.I call these accounts my feeders :) It works beautifully and i highly advise it.i did verify all those accounts to minimize the chance of any problems.I believe that is a must to succeed.If you verify the account you can purchase anywhere that accepts Paypal so you can make all kinds of investments.
I hope this helps :)

Oh, ok.

So you have not added any bank accounts at all?

Who did you buy the PP account from? Or did you build it yourself?


Cheers

Since fineart is in the USA, it will not matter how he got & uses his paypal. Those Yankees have it over UK because of a better choice of 'banks'.
Your aim is to get the best solution of a UK account.

No doubt you know a bank account should be attached to get the paypal fully verified.

I'll pass on the usual attach a bank account. The reply will be off on a tangent ;)

Double check with the sellers here. See if a VBA would set you up. I am suggesting this relative to what YOUR plan is. I add that you may still be under paypal scrutiny. Dont be thinking the method will leave you free. :pop2:

Add any bank account to PayPal to get verified, if the bank account ever gets booted, you will remain verified. You could then add the same bank but then their is no need to confirm it...

Actually I was speaking about my European accounts. In the UK I use HSBC and Barklays Both great banks in my experience.
Just for the record Greenbean
European and female just reside in the US 6 months out of the year :)
You are correct The US is way easier with a lot more options.
Cheers Mate :cheer:

I do add accounts and fully verify all my PPs. i think its best.
I have made my European accounts myself but I know that all sellers approved by Aspkin have great capabilities.

So is there anyone that can confirm a bank account on a UK PP account for the purposes on having a confirmed and verified PP account?

My credit rating is not very good, so I can't even open the basic accounts for now.

PM some people Jay X:thumb:

Jay X, look into basic current accounts. Or their are some bank accounts that do not carry out a credit check. You have to pay a monthly fee of £10 average.

Please name some UK banks aacounts I can use that charge a monthly fee?

I have applied for Barclays Basic, RBS Step, Natwest step, Smile etc all declined

Not a good idea to apply for anymore in my name for 6-12 months, so I need a different solution for now.

Could I use a bank confimred and verified US PP account (from the sellers) with a UK delivery address and UK eBay account?

Have a look at moneysupermarket's site, they should have some good up to date info about bank accounts:

I don't know enough about monthly paid accounts, just that many do not carry out a credit check.
