back to stealth - address question
 

hi guyes im being forced to go back to my stealth ways.
ive created many accounts in the passed and no what to do.

i have one question regarding address and family member accounts.

for the address. is it a good idea to use my current addres (the address i was banned from selling on) but with an added "A" on the door number?

so for example say my previous address on the banned account was

15 hawthorne road
harlow
essex
e15 1uf

and i change it to for my new account

15A hawthorne road
harlow
essex
e15 1uf


would this be a good idea? i would use a totally different address however i need access to this address for returns etc...

any ideas?

Re: back to stealth - address question
 

No. eBay see though this easily.

Re: back to stealth - address question
 

so totally new address is needed?

what would you do for returns?

Re: back to stealth - address question
 

for returns i have used the same stealth name and a mates address locally

Re: back to stealth - address question
 

Everything needs to be new, address included.

Look into rentable mail boxes for returns.

Re: back to stealth - address question
 

yes that was an option to me, however the added cost makes me less keen.

Re: back to stealth - address question
 

Stealth done correctly does cost money.

Its only about £10/20 a month, should be easily able to sell enough to make up for that.

Re: back to stealth - address question
 

do you know any companies that would actually fulfill on your beghalf?

i mean for all the returns i get back to a mailbox/address
rather than forwarding onto one real address, i was thinking to cut down costs to just get items forwarded onto new customers direct as i make a sale on the returned goods (if they are fit for sale that is)

Re: back to stealth - address question
 

Your not going to know if the items are fit for resale until inspecting them.

Personally that is not something I would leave to someone else.

Re: back to stealth - address question
 

well you could, most of my returns are due to incorrect fitting.

Re: back to stealth - address question
 

You are still going to want to examine the items your self.

Often an item will be returned for 1 reason and it will turn up with a totally different issue.

Ultimtely you would only be saving a small amount of money and opening yourself up to a lot of potential issues.

There is also no company that I am aware of that does what you want them to do.

Re: back to stealth - address question
 

yes i understand your viewpoint, but quality issues will most likley not be an issue with me, if they are i can always get them sent over to me to insepect further.

thats a shame ive tried asking around, no luck im afraid

Get a business return address - like a post office box

Re: back to stealth - address question
 

you mean something like this
to help manage your business mail address professionally | Royal Mail Group Ltd

PO Box® Delivery

Have your PO Box® mail delivered to the address on your application form. For when you want the professional, easy to remember address but don’t have time to collect your mail from your local delivery office. This service is subject to your address (as indicated on your application form) and your PO Box® being served by the same delivery office.


does this mean that mail can be returned to the po box and then forwarded onto my residential address?
if so do we pay any forwarding costs or is this included in the 6month/yearly contract?
anyone know?

Re: back to stealth - address question
 

There will always be forwarding costs, no company will forward from the POBOX to your address for free. Having access to an address is always advisable

Re: back to stealth - address question
 

I just prefer to pick things up at the post box rather than pay forwarding costs

Re: back to stealth - address question
 

Keep it simple and business like.

PO Box you can visit is ideal.

Re: back to stealth - address question
 

I was under the impression eBay did not like PO BOX addresses? I thought that although they can be used, it could raise a flag / unwanted attention.

I though having a real accessable address would be the best choice followed by having a virtual office address.

But I may be wrong so am happy for someone to clarify.
