ready to rock and roll
 

Hi All,

I'm hoping to set up my stealth account this weekend and just wanted to check I am going to be doing it correct.

1. I have a new bank account and card with Halifax which has never been linked to any PayPal/eBay accounts which I plan to use. This is all in my real name.

2. I aim to make a new email address and then make a new PayPal account. When I sign up I plan on using a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name (eg. John Smith) and attaching the above mentioned bank account. I have a rent-able mailbox address to use for the PP account to.

3. Make new eBay account in the same ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name and rent-able mailbox address as PayPal and link the 2.

4. Open an Entropay account in my real name/address as eBay wont see this.

Can someone confirm the main benefits of using Entropay as surely if I have a bank account linked to PayPal I can withdraw funds when someone pays me anyway??

I'm also logging/changing IP's and created a new windows user etc...

Thanks in advance,
GS

1 - Cannot use a real life card. Need a VCC

2 - Good but make sure you use your real name for mailboxes. A lot will have no issue with mismatching name letters.

3 - Good

4 - Good

5 - You use entropay as a VCC. This can be used to fund the EB and PP and can be use to confirm the PayPal.

Good luck - always good to post your plan up front

So I still use the Halifax bank account with paypal? When signing up with PayPal do I use the mailbox address as this will be different to the bank account address which is my real one. Won't they see this?

Re: ready to rock and roll
 

PayPal will not see the address registered to Halifax.

You can see use your Halifax to verify the PP and then withdraw to.

Thanks James.

So if I use the Halifax bank account is there any need for the Entropay VCC?

Re: ready to rock and roll
 

I believe you use entropy to confirm everything then add you real card only to with draw to from paypal

Re: ready to rock and roll
 

You got it! getting the Entropay card in the first place is not quite as easy and straightforward as it apparently use to be

Re: ready to rock and roll
 

You add the VCC to fund the PayPal and confirm the PayPal

You need a bank account to withdraw from the PayPal and the bank account is also used to verify the PayPal

Re: ready to rock and roll
 

You might also want to wait before adding your bank account until after you create your eBay and the accounts are all good or until you're ready to withdraw, just so you don't waste your bank account in case your eBay account get 0/0 limits to start

Re: ready to rock and roll
 

The 0/0 limits only affect US accounts at the moment.

OP, it is far safer to have a verified Paypal account linked to ebay when selling.
