Stealth virtual address?
 

Hi all,

So I've had my address and stealth accounts all set up and verified for about 3 months now. I have sorted out a means of recieving returns, however do I still need to maintain and keep paying the virtual address providers?

I really aren't using them for anything and dont quite want to keep paying for them.

You don't have to, but than you need to be ready ahead of the time if PayPal wants to send something to your address for verification purpose, or it puts hold on your funds.....? many problems can arise from not having access to your address.

It depends, if you're not going to use the address for here on out, then you could cancel, but as the poster above said, if you need access to that address in 6 months time, for whatever reason, it could prove a problem...

I'd have to agree with Lyda on this one. If you plan on keeping these accounts for a long time it's best you keep them. If pp decides to send you something in the mail, and the address is no longer available than you're basically doomed.

You are right, Ninja. I was reading again my Stealth Guide today for other less expensive options..It makes difference if you plan multiple accounts...

Only issue i can see is if a buyer wants to return an item and will only return to the address on your account to protect themselves.

If anytime down the line PP wanted to send something to your address you could try the old "i moved and forgot to update my address" then just make a new virtual address and pass them that.

If the account is a bussiness account eB will send your monthly report to it and if it keeps getting returned this might flag something up with them?

My main thing is...if PP is going to send a letter. I sometimes get away with changing the address just in case I fail the call-in for them.

I NEVER use mail forwarding, less it's in other countries.
