Using my real name
 

Further to my previous thread re - anxiety about upcoming managed payments I have decided to set up a new ebay account which I will slowly let mature incase my main business account gets suspended.
Here is what I am thinking, could you wise people please give me a heads up where I could potentially come unstuck?


1) Account to be in my real name
2) New address (this might be either a rented unit or a very close family members home address who has never had an account)
3) Old laptop but with a complete new windows install (Is this a weak link? I've previously used this computer on a banned account)
4) New email
5) New mobile phone / number
6) New internet connection (tethered from mobile)

I will do everything to look like a complete newbie ebayer, Ie slowly list some rubbish from around the house using the app, listings like - Mens next jumper - large

I'll buy a few bits too

I just plan on leaving it bubbling along in the background quietly.

Can anyone see where I might run into any problems? Thanks

Change your DL or passport and a utility to the family member address. Using the same name will be fine and your ID will have better pass rate this way.

Id call my bank and tell them I changed address, I could always change it back later. I've moved house so many times over the years anyway!
