Is Stealth dead?
 

Just wondering if the days of Stealth are coming to an end?

Go back a few years there was loads of account sellers, only one selling accounts on the accounts sale page just retired ... because making accounts these days is too difficult.

I know that Managed Payments has added a security layer that most are finding difficult to get around, but I have 4 accounts (2 recently had to be put to sleep for a few months) that are completely 100% Stealth, so I know that it's still possible.

disappearance of sellers is not related to stealth but they can not open accountds anymore that survive the first listings but they were taking money in advance so money was taken , account not delivered or delivered bad quality that got suspended

They have probably moved to the dark web

Re: Is Stealth dead?
 

What are you doing about bank accounts, surely they're not 100% stealth.

increasing chances of fraud as well

It's still doable but the limitations rate (due to not passing credit checks) is just high and accounts get limited very easily these days when being used. Restoring after first listing is relatively easy but with NI numbers also now coming into effect being needed it will be just an extra thing that has to be worked out

There are work around mind you

Bussiness accounts are super easy to make if you have a bank account you are willing to risk but personal accounts are a lot harder and with no FVF personal accounts are the most popular these days

so what your saying is you gotta have good credit/high credit score to make ebay accounts now??

Re: Is Stealth dead?
 

In the UK eBay usually run a KYC identity check through GB Group, one of the things they check for is if you're known to the main credit reference agencies, they can't see if you have good or bad credit, its just to confirm your identity.

Obviously stealth details are not going to pass this check so ebay are more likely to limit your account.

Stealth isn't dead, far from. It probably never will be either.

There is just a lot more to it these days than reading the stealth guide. The stealth guide should be read in full and then information from the forums should be used to keep up to date with ever changing systems. There is a lot of information on these forums that allow anybody to create 10x successful stealth accounts.

Re: Is Stealth dead?
 

Lol, the Stealth Guide is almost zero useful information for operating Stealth on eBay now, its far far out of of date.

It sounds like it's getting harder to create and maintain stealth accounts, but it's still possible.
