When creating Stealth account, do you use ⊗⊗⊗⊗ address and name, or similar to real?

[jimsters]

hi

ive got a few accounts working that have worked for quite a while.
ive got some in my real name, and some in a very similar name to mine with a very similar address (just changed slightly)

i setup a few with vcc a year or two ago with complete ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name and address and they didnt last long.

so when setting up a stealth ebay account to use for selling, is it best to:

1. use a complete different name and address? (does the address have to be real?)
2. use a complete different name but real address?
3. similar name and similar address (changed slightly)?



also with paypal, do you use a totally different name and address?



thanks

Welcome to the forum jimsters

Your IP shows HONGKONG so I changed the flag for you. The flag is where you are. It can make a difference with answers.
ebay/paypal names should match. It is a good idea to have access to the account address. Couple of reasons for that, items get returned sometimes so a reachable address is needed. Despite setting mail preferences ebay/paypal send mail. Now if it's a paypal code & you cant get to the address there's troubles.
A variation of a real name is good.
Don't forget the computer side of being stealth and making sure ALL info is new: address, bank account & such.
Read through the forum for much more info.
Send me a pm if you have any problems

hi, thanks for the reply.

i set my flag to UK because i am from the UK and live in the UK.
im on business in hong kong for a short period so thats why my ip showed up as HK - i dont live in hong kong.
please change my flag back to a UK flag.

as for the addresses and names, how can you make sure all info is new like name, address etc. i understand about using a different bank and cc however if you need access to the address then surely you have to just use variation names/different names at the same address?

I asked to leave the flag to the country where you are located AT THE MOMENT AND USING EBAY
WHILE YOU ARE IN HK, LEAVE THE FLAG CORRECT
Now look at this thread

Is it any wonder the accounts got an MC010 if you're' using UK ebay overseas?
