VCC / VBA for ebay/paypal stealth

[artfuldodger.]

So I have bought and read the stealth guide. It's great! However, a couple of things I'm still a little unsure about, maybe I didn't understand this bit well, forgive me:

I got told I should not use my real bank acc/cred card at first when registering for paypal, therefore I should use VCC & VBA. After I do this and my PayPal is verified, do I then just change my details to a real bank account ( not linked to other accounts ) so that I can withdraw money from my stealth eBay/PayPal?

Also, what is the best way to pay eBay/PayPal fees? There is a message at the start saying I can automatically allow eBay to take eBay fees from my PayPal, not sure if I should do this. (I read on the forum Entropay nowadays is not so good for stealth so maybe a top up card? Not sure the best ones for this year.

I thought I could just use new normal bank acc / saving acc for each PayPal when registering but it doesn't seem so.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

You can use real bank accounts when registering it's just the risk of wasting a bank account if your account gets limited. I personally just use a gift card for credit card and after I few sales I add a real bank but for around $10 u can buy a VCC and it takes away the risk of wasting a bank account.

The best way to pay fees is with PayPal one time payment and u should set it up for automatic payments. You just have to leave money in your PayPal to cover fees. Never withdraw from bank account.

A VBA is a US thing. Not something we get over in the UK

Just pay the eBay fees from your PayPal balance

Using a real bank account is totally fine for adding to PayPal. You don't have to add it right away though, you can do it a few weeks after you make the account

Ok, thanks. I will open a few stealth accounts for eBay/PayPal, and then after a few weeks, I will add a bank account / Card (i will try with Santander current account for my 1st stealth.

The other stealths I will just use Santander Esavers? Is that okay?
An keep to only 4 saver accounts per bank.

Santander Esavers work great.
