The MEGA UK eBay & PayPal FAQ Thread

Really if you want to be as safe as possible then you want to get a few accounts going

Otherwise if you get limited this time next year your back to square 1 again. The real key is to spread the risk

Wow all my questions replied. Thank You so much xxx

[legna]

will buying the stealth guide help configure one's stealth account if I am from Malaysia selling in US, regarding PayPal and withdrawal management? Will it be enough?

[ernest]

hi everyone!
just confused with 2 questions, im based abroad and want to get a uk ebay and paypal acc.
my big concern is how to get rid of paypal limitation and also how to withdraw money from paypal without a uk bank account?
thanks a lot!

[JamesNorth101]

If your a U.K. resident even if you are overseas you can usually open a U.K. bank account with an issue

RE the EU limitations, just PM and U.K. seller and they can help

[ernest]

hi! im not a uk resident!
thats the main issue ive got!
regards

[JamesNorth101]

Best to change your flag to your actual location in that case. Makes it a lot easier for us to answer

[ernest]

hi! ive updated my flag!
regards

[JamesNorth101]

There are a couple of online banks that maybe an option. Payoneer is one (although its not perfect it does work)

[ernest]

Great! thank you!
how about the eu limitation? it also has an option for overseas?
regards

[JamesNorth101]

Just contact a UK seller when you get to that point

Hi James, regarding regerstration/returns address on an eBay business account, how would I deal with this if I have no access to another address other then my own?

Also can you explain why I need to open more than one bank account (or ten!?)

Thanks.

[JamesNorth101]

If your happy to not get returns then a return address isnt needed. If you do want to get returns and you only have your own address, then you can try an address variation of your own address added into the return section of eBay but it will always come with a risk.

RE bank accounts. You would need 1 new bank account per new PayPal for withdrawals

Okay thanks, Regarding returns I would not really need to receive returns as I’d be happy just to refund, I assume a stealth eBay account uses a fictitious business registration address also? Feel free to pm me if you don’t want to answer here. Thanks again.

Its all outlined in the stealth guide for you

Hello !
I am new to the forum and to stealth, but have just set up an eBay account using a new address I have just moved to and a close friends PayPal account as mine got suspended. Her account has had all the EU papers request done, so in theory as long as I don’t do anything stupid, it should be fine. I do however want to set up two to three stealth eBay & PayPal accounts and am wondering how I will get over the request for paperwork then? I sel, high end jewellery and it is of course not cheap which means you hit selling limits and PayPal limits quickly

Welcome!

You'll run into issues trying to sell high value items from the get go. You need to nurture your account very well before you can even think about selling something like that on it.

Start by reading the stealth guide. That will put you in the right direction.

Hello, new to the forum and after a little advice. I would like to change the phone number on an ebay account but they ask for a security question that I can not answer. Would I be able to get round this by talking to CS or are they going to send me a code in the post?

Why don't you know the answer to the security question? Is the account yours?

[JamesNorth101]

I was wondering the same thing...

[harrykaneschin]

I have created the account myself using a real address and ⊗⊗⊗⊗ identity. It's now a year old with over 300 sales. When I try and change the phone number it asks me to enter the name of another ebay account tied to this address.
