About to start my first stealth account

[PeterT89]

Hi,

So after 2 months of learning I finally decided I`m ready to start again, to create a new stealth account.

I would appreciate if someone could just go over with me on the things for the last time:

1. Create a new windows user account.
2. Create a new Paypal account using a new name, new phone number, new address, new credit card.
3. Verify the Paypal account.
4. Create a new eBay account, using the same information from Paypal, link eBay to Paypal.
5. For the first day or two just look up for items, behave as a regular user, and then buy a random item I want.
6. List my first item.

I`m using dynamic IP address just in case, I changed my internet provider anyway since the last time my account got restricted so it`s really doesn't matter because I will have only one account.

So what do you think? did I missed something?
Any last minute tips? suggestions?

And one last question - I`m planning to sell an item I have at my home because eBay is checking the first sell so I want it to look legit, from the second item can I list items from my suppliers or should I keep selling items from my home for a while?

Thank you,
Peter

5. is an urban myth, you can start selling right away

5 is not an urban myth.

Can be an effective way to allow the account to start aging well.

I like to browse and bid for awhile as well before selling.

Write everything down. In one place. On paper (at least to start with). You think you will remember the info the day you set stuff up, but you won't. Every secret question, every DOB, every phone number you verify stuff with. If it's not tracked, it's not managed. Since this is all new info you will NOT remember it like you are convinced you will the day you create stuff, and loose post it notes do evaporate (I'm convinced). I think most everyone here has learned that (the easy way or the hard way) over time. Protect your investment (of time and effort) and keep track of everything in a single place in an organized manner, you won't regret it.
