An Observation About Being Stealthy

novemberrain1970 · #1 09-07-2014

I've got an observation to share and like most posts on the internet, this and .99 MAY (or may not) buy you a cup of coffee. Having (almost) always been a meticulous and detail-oriented soul I am fortunate in that respect since it's necessary when performing the duties of my "day job" and it's just second nature. Looking around the forum at the various threads posted I see a lot of threads where folks have issues that could have been avoided by taking a more meticulous and cautious approach (for lack of better terminology.) Things like investing in a phone solely for the account and making sure IP's do not cross. It's not something that one is born knowing - but having read the guides, it's kind of the MOST important part. Bank accounts. How and when info is added. WHAT info is added, for that matter. Name, address and email and such. Not being LINKED. It's not rocket science but it does require more than a little planning and preparation to execute, then once executed even more to keep it straight. It's not for the less-than-dedicated, that is for sure!

I guess my point is, as a semi-new stealther who is having fair bit of early success I just want to remind anyone who may be freaking out like I was and desperate to get back in there - just be sure to dot all i's and cross all t's - don't look for shortcuts. This forum is a wealth of knowledge but until the guide(s) are read, and read again (and sometimes again!) don't jump in there guns blazing only to be taken out in the same blaze of glory and wonder what happened.

Use some caution, use some discretion and some guts. Yes, it takes guts! ANYONE who is successful at this deserves a pat on the back and since you are doing this behind the curtain, I will give it to you.

Bravo!!!! BRAVO!!! I never thought that I would be here, but now that I am - my hat's off to Aspkin and the mod crew who keep this place running and the info flowing. It's much appreciated.

Welcome to the forums. I totally agree with your post. I can usually tell which users are going to be successful with stealth and which are not.

The successful ones don't mind that there is some work involved in running the accounts and don't mind spending a few bucks on things like maintaining a working phone number, etc. Those who insist that IP addresses don't matter, that don't want to spend a penny on anything and ask questions like "but how can I sell NFL jerseys for $40 and get away with it" won't be.

I have a feeling you will do just fine!

Good luck

You are well ahead of the game as a newer member.

Most people that get suspended read up on the forum and try to rush back into things --- trying to get back to selling what they were accustomed to selling.

I, for one, was guilty myself years ago. We all want to sell to the limits. That's just natural.

The most critical stages of building stealth accounts are in the very beginning. If setup properly and if someone takes their time, they will be far more successful than they were prior to understanding what stealth was.

Thank you! I'm trying to keep my inner Type A in check while I slowllllly and quietly move back in. It is hard and patience is not my strong suit! Reading here helps sooooo much.

It is not for the faint of heart or severely impatient for sure! Thank you!

Nice write-up.

Stealth is not as carefree as it once was.. and really, in the past it was easy. Now with selling limits and the "new" stealth it's more important then ever in how you create and use your account(s). And that's interesting stuff! I love it.

Otherwise I'd be bored.. Lol. I personally love diving deep into this sort of stuff and figuring things out and testing new things.

As far as running stealth accounts you are 100% correct.. it takes a more meticulous and organized person to be successful.
