using a fast food place for your address
 

is it really sensible to have mail sent to mcdonalds, wendys, burger king, ETC.


(sorry if this is a dumb question)

i did mean sensible really. pop2:

Bites tongue hard and tries to be composed as typing out a reply. :eek:

imo, there would be no point of doing that.
There are several reasons and they are reasons I've actually come across from trying such options. What could be the possible outcome of mail going to such an address and what, if any, could be the potential harm to an account?
On the 1st, that mail could be thrown out and never delivered.
On the 2nd, the ebay/paypal sender may be expecting a response. So if none cometh, then another flag goes on the account and another possibility of suspension/limitation.

You've subscribed here. You want to learn to be adept at stealth.

Use a fast food place and possibly lose your account fast.
(Just had to get that one in ;))

However as it is not unreasonable to realize your accessible address is banned, then my recommendation is to consider a PO Box.

In other words, control YOUR account yourself.
Have a working phone, have an accessbile postal address.
Take that extra step to be an ebay seller (whose account just happens to be stealth) :peace:

Why? when you can just get a mailbox rental for about $10 a month and if you can't afford $10 a month you would be better off working at the fastfood place.:amen:

the thing is that i went to the post office, and they said that only 1 PO box is allowed, and if i sign up, i will no longer get mail at my house.

I am confused :eek:

You don't need a PO box just flip open the yellow pages and look under mailbox rental.

i live in a county that has 3,000 people :mad2:

USPS is the only mailbox rental around here :eek:


Thanks for the suggestion though

So then get the PO box then, it's not a big deal.

how will i make multiple stealth accounts?

You read the stealth guide and you don't need a mailbox linked to every account 1 is good enough, you can put the PO box address on the package for returns and use a different address to register the accounts

u need an address to register with ebay though, correct?

Yes you do doesn't have to be the PO box though.

then what should it be???

Any address just google it, houses for sale, apartments, anywhere people live or even a mailbox rental place you don't rent a mailbox at will work.

is that legal

Just think of mister rogers neighborhood, it's make believe.

everything is beautiful in the floating world

Go to another post office.

There are 4 post office with a few minutes of my location. Im sure theres more than one post office where you live.

Ebay verifies addresses so it needs to be zoned residential. Your addresses are commercial.
I know because yesterday a buyer of mine was booted out. Rep from Trust and Safety came back to tell me "His info didn't verify, his phone number and his address is not a residential address"
Kinda surprised me he noted the address as not being residential.

At least choose a residential address over a business/commercial address though a PO Box is best if you can afford it.

I'm slightly confused. GreanBean is saying you should get a PO Box but jbluntz is saying you can put down any address?

They never write to you so you can put any address. Why do people make a very simple operation complicated? FGS get with the programme and get the job done!

KISS - keep it simple & sweet:doh:

They don't write to you, but they do check your address for validity.
