stealth name or real name?
 

I was curious to know if many people prefer to use their real name for ebay/pp instead of just making a random 1 up? I was also thinking about using my first an middle name or middle and surname. My bank accounts are with RBS, Santander, HSBC & Barclays if that helps. My first name is very popular but my second name is a little less common.

It's best practice you use completely new details

Exactly. You don't want your accounts to get linked.

So since you have a middle name, you don't necessarily need to make a completely different name up, you can simply use your middle name + surname this time round.

But of course remember, if these accounts get limited, you'll need to start using random names.

P.S. When it comes to providing ID, it all goes very smooth.

Thanks, I will do that. Also, you mentioned about when they ask for ID. How do I go about providing false ID etc to paypal when they do eventually ask for it?

Since your using your middle + last name, you will submit your own ID.

This shouldn't cause any links/issues.

I will use my middle + surname for a couple but not more. The others I'm going to use random names. What is your advice for when they ask for documents and my ebay/paypal is in a different name/address?
