Here is my takeaway so far:
- New windows user for each account (clearing cookies/flash cookies not necessary since new user account created....though still seems to be some back and forth on the forums about this) |
With new Windows User Account there's no need to clear cookies, want to keep those cookies in place, ebay/paypal likes cookies.

- New IP address for each account and make sure to log IP's each time

Correct, also make sure IP's aren't repeated across multiple accounts.

- Set up new paypal account with stealth info (using VBA from seller on the forum, either VCC from seller or VV that I get on my own)
|
Correct
Quote:
- Set up new ebay account with stealth info. (confused if I can use same VCC for paypal and ebay account)
|
There's no need to use a VCC for ebay anymore, just need it for Paypal only.

- Create some browsing history, purchase some small things for a few weeks

Browsing History is good, there's no real need to buy stuff but some do. I mainly focus on selling and feedback.

- After a few weeks begin selling slowly

If you sell low risk items you can begin selling as early as a week or two.

Some things like using the same VCC on both paypal and ebay are not clear. I did read that you can as long as there is enough $ on the card. But, doesn't say how much is enough.

You only need a VCC for Paypal, that's it.

Like the title says, I am going through serious analysis paralysis. As soon as I think I am ready to start a new account, I start thinking of new issues/problems/questions. I appreciate any help you can give.

Overall your on the right track.
Here's how I do my accounts:
1. Setup the stealth information, Name Address, etc
2. Get a Visa Gift Card or VCC from forum sellers
3. Get a Phone number ready for verification call from Ebay
3. Create the User Account on PC
4. Install a Portable Firefox
5. Log onto the Internet, Check IP
6. Log into Ebay and create my Sellers Account
7. Receive Ebay's Phone Call with 4 digit code
8. Get sent to Paypal
9. Setup Paypal with the Gift Card of VCC
10. Enter VBA Info
11. Finish the email verify, security questions, etc on Paypal
