second stealth account

[stevebills]

I want to open a second stealth eBay and PayPal acc and can I use any name and address?
The first acc I used a friends name and address and it worked a treat cos he doesn't have a computer and never used eBay or PayPal

[oompaloompa]

yes you can have a seperate acc and paypal pairing, with same details, but remember if one goes down the other MAY follow.....

alternatively add another ebay to same paypal, so it is a 2 to 1 set up, again 1 goes other MAY follow......

I say MAY, think it is a myth that if one ebay goes down on the 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 method, they all do, it may depend on the violation - believe it or not, although they are all linked up, the other remaining ebays sometimes stay up and continue to sell indefinately..happened to me couple of times.....

[stevebills]

so would you suggest paring 2 ebay to one paypal or open a completely separate ebay and paypal account?
I still not sure about name and address and can I make these up?

[oompaloompa]

you can do either, I mean the 2 to 1 means just 1 bank...

make sure address exists or sort of exists but yes you can put any name with it...

One more question can I temporary close a eBay account and e-open at a later date to use again?

No you just leave it to mature, but i always call in from time to time and do some searching and buy a thing or two

Exactly - I keep a few eb accounts that are all linked to one pp - they do not necessarily autokill you if one goes down. But if one does go down, you are at risk.

so I just create another ebay account and link it to my paypal and is it straight forward easy to do.

Yes if your going that route, just make sure you use a different email address and different user id lol, like you can have the same one twice.

i have also had a few accounts survive after one has gone down
in the same groupe

I presume the name and address have to be the same?
Can I use the same ip address for both?

No they don't have to be the same (NAME DOES) but if you going this route then same is probably better as its a waist of an address you could use another time

Yes you can have same i.p address even same windows user account, like i said just new email and user ID.


You are just creating another Eby sellers account in the name you already made the first in, thats it!! make nothing different apart from new email address for the second account and user ID.

The point is if you have one good Eby account with selling limits to 100 or lifted then the second should be in the same standing as your first once opened, if not contact you can Eby and let them know about your first Eby account and they usually give it the same limits as the first.

Also remember to add you second email address to PP other wise any payments made to that email will be in limbo.
