need information about buying with guest accounts
 

Can i buy £600 items on ebay as a guest and ship them to click & collect addresses while using different contact information from my card billing name and address or is the information to inconsistent?

Why would you do this? what are you planning?

Sounds like dropshipping - eb is a little more loose on buyer accounts but if you do it repeatedly on one account, changing names and addresses...it can lead to issues

can i for example use ebay as a guest and ship to a business address and use my card name and billing address that are my home address? Or can I buy using my friend's address and get the item delivered to a click & collect address?

Re: need information about buying with guest accounts
 

if you want to buy expensive items you need a buying account with history

as guest it is likely that anti fraud will stop you

AKA

'I am trying to scam a seller, how do I do it'

'I want Christmas presents for free'

'I need a new phone but don't want to pay for it'

i think it seems that it's more reliable with sending products to physical household addresses than click & collect addresses. I think it could be because the click & collect addresses are busy during Christmas period, or ebay doesn't want lots of deliveries to click & collect addresses to free up the system. Do you reckon?

Possibility of that - but also possibility of big fraud potential

Just had a read. You're right, your posts are a bit suspect op

Form experience if you want to buy on eBay you don't need stealth they are quite relaxed about buyers that follow the rules.

If you're using stealth methods to rob sellers shame on you.

Where can I find buyer centred forums for eBay then?

Re: need information about buying with guest accounts
 

Not really sure - google, or perhaps the ebay community forums themselves...

Re: need information about buying with guest accounts
 

i really appreciate your patience and politeness with dealing with me here folks. And thanks for the helpful but limited info that you did provide. (genuine)

Re: need information about buying with guest accounts
 

ebay community -it has forums for buyer,sellers,for Paypal,(MP ),it is monitored by Ebay

Re: need information about buying with guest accounts
 

It's risky. eBay might flag the purchase as suspicious because the contact information, billing address, and delivery address don't match. This could lead to the order being canceled.
