My Plan....

[Thankful]

Hi there guys!

I'v been using the forum for awhile now, but i havn't actually really created a stealth account believe it or not.

I actually made one using my relatives details (don't consider this to be stealthy at all), way before i knew about the dangers or knew about stealth for that matter, so my plan is to finally get down to business and make a stealth account, i'm planning to move from my relatives account to a fresh one, so hopefully stop using that one fully before i cause any trouble on that.

So heres the plan for my stealth account!

Excel - All my information will be stored here + a backup usb - standard procedure.

IP Address - I've successfully changed that today + Have a new user setup and ready to go + ccleaner!

Address - Since this is my actual first stealth account i may go for a Royal Mail P.O box - I'm not sure how this may work out for me, I really don't want a hassle from eBay. (In the future accounts will prob opt for a company address)

Name I've decided to go for a name variation also not sure if this is the best method for me (For future accounts - DBA name)

Phone number As i've heard good things about flynumber & voipfone.co.uk, I shall be trying them both.

Bank Account I was planning on using an HSBC account but in "the means to an end list" it says HSBC -no longer works 31/5/2009, but i'm sure members are you using it? can anyone confirm? the list may need an update! With a name variation do you think i'll have a problem with HSBC when it comes to withdrawing/depositing money?

I won't sell anything for the first 30 days - may just buy a few actual household items first, batteries/toothbrush/sugar? lol - then start selling usual household items(not high-risk) which i no longer need and move on to other things from there...

How does that sound so far guys?

Hopefully this will be a good testing account for me were i can experiment and actually do it myself, plan on making many more using other methods and letting them age with time.

I did write this in a rush so i'm sure i maybe missing some information, i'll keep my thread updated!

Any suggestion & improvements will be appreciated

EXCEL

IP address but don't clear cookies, just make sure you use separate windows user accouts. e/b expect to see cookies and get twitchy if there are continually none every time you log in. What are you trying to hide, your just a regular e/b user and they don't generally clear cookies after every visit.

Address: better options available

Name: completely new is best

Phone number: Soho66 much better

Bank account: better options available

Selling: OK, but I would suggest you buy a few bits here and there first

@ OP

NoneOther is on the money with his advise - would suggest you listen to it

Buy first is a good idea...

Also, I have had problems with HSBC and name not matching.

Thanks for your swift replies guys, does anyone know any good mail service that offer an address (instead of RM p.o box) in the UK?

There are hundreds in the UK. Just search Google for mailbox services/virtual address/virtual office.

Lots of small local serviced offices offer this service no need for national companies.
