Default Setting up a BUYING ONLY stealth account + need opinion

Need some help. Been readng, reading, reading about selling via stealth.

I was suspended a few days ago (ebay only, my paypal premier and business account are unaffected, so are the ebay accounts of other members in my house at the moment) after having a really old account with no issues. Now I am stuffed with stock in hand. So need to get back on via stealth.

But what about buying as well, I buy a lot of my stock on ebay itself using my credit card for re-selling, how can I continue doing this? From what I understand buying on the stealth account you sell on is a definite NO.

So here is my plan. Hope people will read and can chime in from their own stealth experience. Looking for opinions from UK users mainly as that is where I am based. And I don't plan on doing anything too fancy ... 1 selling account at first (may add a second and third one in the future depending on how I get on), 1 buying account.

I will be tethering internet off my three network unlimited sim via my smart phones hotspot and connect via a wifi dongle to sort out the different IP issue. I have downloaded the excel spreadsheet to keep track of IP.

I will have a firefox portable browser in a folder dedicated to each account (but all being used under one windows account).

So that part should be OK.

Now for buying. How should I go about it. Should I create a stealth account with a variation of my name and address as I will just be buying on it and still need items to be delivered to my address be OK and should I create a stealth paypal with the same variation of name and address ? but add a different credit card be fine ? Just for buying do you think ebay will suspend ?

As I have the internet IP part of it sorted and firefox portable ... should I just buy two accounts from any of the sellers in the marketplace, one for selling, one for buying ?

I don't think you need a separate account for selling and for buying.
But it's definitely recommended to have more than 1 SELLER account, to spread your sales ( High sales volume almost always have some issues with docs request).

you need a variation of your surname and address to send to, test a letter to see if it arrives, eg. give it a business name on first line and then door number maybe in brackets, but many ways....use your own bank card, one not used before, your IP changes almost certainly anyway, and you need a new or cleaned browser and you are good to go.

If you want to get back on ebay for buying only, just setup everything new, in your own details, and go ahead and start buying. Start with small purchases, and work your way up.

eBay aren't has harsh with buyers as they are with sellers. So you don't need to set up stealth buyer accounts per se.
