Some guidance please with starting a stealth account
 

Hello everyone! Ok I bought the book at the beginning of this year and It is great, but I have a few things if someone would please help me out on. ok I was gonna go with a dba , so I would use that for ebay and pay pal with new everything. new name (dba) new ssn(tax id number) new telephone number (prepaid phone) new bank account (have to use real info here) new address (grandmothers) would all this info work for both ebay and pay pal? also with the dba and tax id number as the ssn, is that all I would need? I first got banned last oct , then I made another account and they just banned me again last week, then I made another and got banned today. so from 6 months to a few days there getting it banned faster. I would like to not get banned and start selling cuz that's where my income really is. thank you to everyone that helps me out!

Repeat ban indicates a major flaw to your strategy.

What are you doing with respect to ip addresses/cookies etc etc for each eb/pp a/c ???

If possible, outline in brief steps (i.e 1-5 or whatever) you've taken to create each eb/pp a/c.

Your first step is to work out why you are getting banned.

oh sorry for the confusion, I took no precaution on the three times I have gotten banned , they weren't stealth accounts at all. they had my pay pal linked and all that goodness.I was just seeing how long I can last with out being banned .
This will be the first time that I will be doing the stealth account so I just wanna make sure that I have everything perfect , cuz a dba name isn't cheap at least 100. to 150. Ive seen so far. thanks

You have some of the correct ingredients to cook this up right if done correctly.

'I first got banned...'

What did you learn from your mistakes, in terms of identifying where the weaknesses, errors or flaws were in your 'testing the water' approach you did (at least 3 times) so as to avoid these same mistakes this time around ???

@Gamez, are you selling risky items too? That can lead to problems regardless of your setup

Good luck going Stealth. Be careful and you will definitely succeed; take you time and avoid repeated mistakes.

If only the middle-person would be given a chance to swim out of poverty, it would be nice. Corporations are already owning eBay on our expense; very disgusting. Those who really want to make a living have to thorn their way through; very shameless!

Build your account first with some browsing and buying history

I 'spoke' to the OP via PM or rather the OP 'spoke' to me. :-

I think he was interested in setting this up under a DBA arrangement & its potential implications & ramifications on his eb/pp ops.
