Seems like some familiarity here

Oh yes, they email sometimes......The first time I tried to sell an authentic item I had purchased from the actual company that J&P represent, they emailed me 1st, then they sent me one of their extortion letters (not certified). I told them to shove the letter up their wazu and if they wanted to take me to court they should go ahead. I had a receipt and everything, J&P are aholes.

I never got an email from them because I spread my risk all over the place. But if they did, I know I did my stealth correctly.

No such thing as proper stealth when it comes to lawsuits. They would get a subpoena and follow the money all the way to your bank account, which is (hopefully) registered in your real name. Even if you shuffle money around accounts before withdrawing, they know how to find you. Don't get too comfortable.

It does not take much for a Judge to issue an order for paypal to give up the bank information and find you.

No such thing as being stealthy if they want to sue unless you do not have bank accounts attached to paypal.

If things get serious, this might be helpful.

Do the Hillary!

Ive read in cases all over the place that even making up a "stealth" name or usung a family members WITH permission is illigal. Its usually called gaining property under false pretence. Its illigal to make money in anything but your own personal info.

I've considered this many times but I seriously doubt this forum would still exist if stealth accounts are 100% illegal. Ebay and Paypal aren't financial institutions so there isn't any law saying you're required to give them factual info. Stealth becomes a crime when you apply someone else's tax ID to your stealth account, rather than getting your own. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think just giving Ebay a fictitious name is illegal in any way.

Of course im not a lawyer, and every state & even county's have different laws, but if you google these questions you'll find plenty of offical state laws,

Also, if you watch a lifelock infomercial, they mention similar things,
Personally, i now stealth in my name, Small variations
, but im paranoid like that.

Whatever floats your boat, Jojo. What about DBA names and whatnot? Illegal too?

yankee · #56 07-31-2016

Just curious, who is going to arrest you and what for? Ebay or paypal?

MM78 · #57 07-31-2016

The EBay Fuzz! Their going to come to your house and give you an MC999!

I get that its not a popular subject , but i wouldn't make it up, maybe i am parinoid, & i probably am but laws have quietly been updated these past few years with all the hacking, & problems with identy.

Have you ever wondered why some banks dont allow mis matched names? ,
here are just a few examples, in a couple states, im no lawyer but its pretty plain wording.

Code of Laws - Title 16 - Chapter 13 - Forgery, Larceny, Embezzlement, False Pretenses And Cheats

And of course im refering to the op's issue, if you are just a person selling garage sale junk you'll not likely have an issue, but if dhl seizures are your problem & there is a knock on your door, trust me, your computer & the names in it will be used against you.

GhostOfAmazon · #63 08-20-2016

Of all the phake things you could sell.......CAR PARTS? Really? Are you retarded? Or just plain evil? If you're going to sell phake stuff, AT LEAST make it something trite.....if someones phake axle breaks on the interstate and it causes a wreck, that's on YOU. And if it were to come down to it, and there was an investigation into the cause, and they discovered it was due to a faulty phake part, you'd have MUCH bigger problems than a lawsuit.

You really screwed the pooch.

I get the logic behind selling phakes-----you don't have to have tax id info, don't have to have a legit business, no dealing with huge minimum quantities, easy, cheap, fast, convenient....I get THAT. What I don't get is product choice......CAR PARTS. Sell some DVD's or something.....at least if they mess up, no one gets hurt.

I'm not going to say "Don't sell phakes". I'm not your middle school D.A.R.E. counselor. But if you're going to do drugs, do weed, don't do meth.

Couldn't agree more. If your going to take the risk (and consequences thereafter), at least ensure nobody else is at risk along the way.
