Buying a few things on Stealth Account...
 

Thinking of buying few low value items on a stealth ebay account, its a new one, have sold two items so far so the funds are in Paypal.

Just wondering, as stealth address's are used in both ebay and paypal account for this stealth pair that if i request a different delivery address (my real BANNED one) from the seller through the ebay messaging service, not putting it into any forms or anything, there going to be a problem here. I can understand some sellers might not want to but I mean probs with the ebay/paypal files databse for this pair of accounts?

You mean for sellers to send you stuff to an address not registered in paypal and, hence, not covered for seller protection? (hope you see my point)

Probably only VERY low end items - as a seller, unless you have 100+ feedback, I would not be sending anything out to non-paypal addresses.

You will have to negotiate with your respective seller.

Keep in mind now the shipping tool. So if the seller will send it to your real/burned address they will enter that into PayPal if they use the shipping tool. If you want stuff for feedback either send it to stealth address and dont get it. Low cost stuff is no biggie or get a post box or address you have access to.

What can happen if they put the burned address into shipping tool is still kind of up in the air as its pretty new. But is it worth the risk to get a $5 item?

This is a new stealth account, 4 feedback so far. Never sold anything ⊗⊗⊗⊗, just got my real name/address burned after listing 2 microsoft items that were real.

Posted a few messages to the sellers, most seem fine to ship to different address, these are low value items less than £10. But your not going to get linked to your old account because the seller used your legit 'burned' address with the paypal shipping tool are you!?

Well, what you are selling, if its real, how many, ect ect is not relevant. You were asking about sending stuff to a burned address. And I just pointed out that if seller uses the PayPal shipping tool they will have to enter that address into system. Its your call if you want to take the risk. There is no proof yet that they would use that against you. But lets be realistic. The transaction from your new account will have your old address. I personally think its dangerous

Agreed.

Get a PO Box. They're inexpensive, safe and reliable.

Sounds like a game of Russian Roulette to me
