Same names on multiple accounts
Ok a while back, about 6 months ago, when i first came to this forum i decided to make a bunch of stealth accounts and let them age. Not knowing much how eb*y/banks work i decided to make all of my stealth accounts with the same name but changing a letter or 2 in it. Now i am stuck with 4 accounts which basically have the same name selling the same thing. Ive been selling on them for 2 months now. And i being a little worried that they all might get linked. Do you guys think eb*y will link me just for names and just because they all sell the same thing? |

Yes.
Why would they not? |
Not that I have any experience with stealth yet, but why would they be linked as long as he continues to be careful? So far so good, right? You must be doing something right! I think if you don't overdue it with each account, it appears you should be okay... no? |

Start making backup accounts just in case, and keep building them up! |

| What if i narrowed them down to 2 accounts? |
On your 4 accounts, did you vary the addresses too? Same address, but little different? |

As long as the address is different and some letters are changed, and there are no other links ( ip, cookies, phone numbers, etc. ), you should be fine. |

One time I spoke with an ebay rep who I gave a stealth name. She said to me I have 550 ebayer's with that same name. Which one are you?
Not a good thing to have multiples with the same name, you could be lucky if they were spread out all over the country with different addresses, phones, DOB etc but if they match it will be caught at some point. |

The names i have used are foreign and the way i added the extra letter to each name i dont think anyone else exists with names on an account like that lol |

| Please dont suggest that even ebay doing a manual review may not detect some resemblence of these accounts.
Have you ever worked in an industry where data gets looked at to determine information of persons?
4 names similar, made at the same time, selling the same items are going to be looked at closely. Fact.:pop2: |

Nobody has a definite answer for you, whatever it is ebay/paypals mood that day will dictate what happened.
If there is risk involved then take precautions, do it again but this time learn from your mistakes! |
