Am I ready to go stealth? UK Ebay
 

I know this has been answered before but i have not bought the stealth book yet so I can't see the replies.

First priority for me when I start earning is to buy the book so your help would appreciated here.

This is what I have in place:

1. Cleaned cookies from computer.
2. Installed Firefox and set the privacy settings.
3. Reset modem many times and checked ip's which after 50 plus times have not repeated.
4. New Ebay name and address (bogus)
5. New bank account (my name)
6. VCC (Entropay) (bogus name)
7. New Gmail account (bogus)
8. Taking new pictures using same iphone but uploading to computer and then to TINY PICS.

Am I good to go?

I have opened the ebay account but don't want to link the bank account to Paypal yet until im sure that I have everything as it should be.......

Many, many thanks!

Love this forum!

a new user screen probably better, as opposed to cleaning old user up.

remove pics exif with a free exif remover. no need to host via tinypics unless it is your preference.

not just cookies, if on a previously used user screen LSO can be sticky too, view them via macromedia settings manager in adobe.

You need a new mobile number.

everything else seems fine.

oompaloompa,

Many thanks for your reply but i think I have made a mistake.

I applied for the VCC in the stealth name and now they have restricted me until I phone them.

Looking through the forum, I should have applied in my own name?

I was about to link my bank acc to pp but realised this error so I think I should apply for VCC again in my own name......is this correct?

Thank you.

You should be opening EntroPay in your real name

Make sure you clean EXIF data from any pictures

Even if you have had no repeats after 50 resets you still need to track your IP's. I have 1000's of IP recorded. It only takes a second but its well worth doing

Entropay will not share info with PP/Eb and must be in real name in case of ID request.

Can I ask a question as I've seen a lot of posts lately about adding a vcc to your paypal,

Is it even needed?

As I've set up 10 accounts and added my real bank account to them and lifted the £1900 limited to get them fully verified and I've been selling on them without any problems the accounts are 20-65 days old,

Do i need to add a vcc to them or am i ok?

Re: Am I ready to go stealth? UK Ebay
 

No need to add it, but you can use it to confirm the PayPal which is always best in PP eyes.

It can also be used to pay fees or buy items if you need to

Ok thanks I will just leave them as they are then, so I'm ok paying my fees and buying stuff through my paypal balance then as long as there's enough left in pp to cover it all so they don't take money from my bank and end up seeing my real details?

Re: Am I ready to go stealth? UK Ebay
 

Correct, but you have to make sure that you always have enough for fees and any possible chargebacks or refunds.

It is worth adding a VCC tbh just so that you can confirm your address and thus look better in PP eyes. Costs very little but is of large benefit.

Ok thank I will have a look into it

You have to make sure those funds are free and clear (feedback positive, goods received, etc) - paying with those funds looks like a withdrawal so keep some amount in the pp account (I usually do 3-4x the average sale to leave in pp)
