Re: Passing the identification questions
The nice thing about public records is they are never complete. Especially for younger people who have not had much of a chance to buy cars, house, apply for credit, etc. So, if eBay searches for public record information on a stealth identity, they will most likely come up empty.
So, they may ask you some made up questions. Search the forums, as there is much advice on passing this hurdle.
eBay and PayPal do NOT always ask these questions. At least not in my experience. Of late, though, it seems to be happening more often.
You WILL want to know something about the stealth address. For example, eBay will know what type of dwelling is there. So, using the address of your local Wal-Mart probably won't work. Luckily, you can look up what is at an address pretty easily. For example, if eBay reads you the stealth address and the rep asks, "so, is that a house, or an apartment building" you need to be able to answer that question. Also, they often ask if there are any parks close by and things like that.
Then, they sometimes say they have vehicle registration information and give you three types of cars to choose from. I have always just answered "none of the above" and that worked for me. |
