need good idea for UK Delivery address!!!
 

just created a new ebay stealth account, wanted to buy some items for getting some feedback, but regarding delivery address, what is the best way to avoid linked to my suspended account?

as I understand that even I put variation of my street name, it would be a risk, anybody got good ideas?

many thanks

Just need to be creative. Mail boxes, business addresses, made up addresses, addresses you have access to. List goes on

Thank you James, do you know anybody tried before by using others address as registered address, then delivery address using real address variation? I know the post man will still deliver it to me, even I put wrong postcode on my real address, but do you think ebay will still can track me down if I put my real address as delivery address with street variation name and wrong postcode?

Many thanks

whether registered or delivery address, if either is banned, it is a red flag.

if it is a similar/variation address to your own, because you need a delivery, you should be ok for buying as generally people do not look you up, they just print an envelope, there have been rare cases of it being reviewed by eb/pp or possibly be reported by a seller.

scenario, seller says I cannot send here because Royal mail or couriers auto address finder shows as not valid. You need to then explain via pm why the address is written in such a way....

Ideal is a real address for receiving, pobox, work address are options....

Address variations can and do work, but they can also be caught if the account is reviewed. If you want a long term safe method, then a rent able mail box is a better solution.

Vary your real address - use a mailbox if unsure. You might have problem with eB if your account goes under manual review - that will depend on your activity pretty much

Since you made the title Need a good idea for address, then avoid going near your home address.


Inherent risk with eBay UK is getting the account reviewed manually.

Be sensible from the start and avoid this. This is not the issue of your postman delivering items, this is eBay looking at your account and working out what has happened.

Then you have troubles

I personally would side with a good mailbox rental. Worked a charm for me for Amazon and that's the toughest cookie of them all!
