1st time stealth plan
 

Hi ,

heres my plan for setting an account up , any feedback would be appreciated

-set up a new user account on laptop and use my mobile phone to get an internet connection and different ip address each time phone connection is turned off

-set up an entropay card with my real personal details

-set up paypal with "made up name" and i'm going to use my work address and just alter the address slightly

-verify by adding entropay card , and add my own real bank account

-buy a new PAYG sim card for the phone number

-set up ebay with same as above, then link the paypal to accept payments

Re: 1st time stealth plan
 

Seems a good plan.

Get the payg number first. Paypal and ebay ask for it when you sign up. Its better to have all information ready at the start.

Do you know how to run the account after its created? Take it slow, etc

Edited to add: get in the habit of recording your ip everytime you logon. you dont want any crossovers down the line with other accounts

Re: 1st time stealth plan
 

thanks , I have the sim card , entropay card and new bank all set up ready ,

just took a while to decide what to do about the name and address,

Re: 1st time stealth plan
 

will I be ok with entropay then,
and my bank is with Lloyds if theyre ok too

thanks

My family is not very well so not really scoured posts as much as i normally do.
Is entropay a risk. Can someone.confirm if this is a possibility.
Not making any.accounts till january but i might try and.set one up and.let it age...so.need to.know whether im to stay away.from entropay.

Re: 1st time stealth plan
 

Just to clarify: verification is with bank account and confirmation is with credit card

Re: 1st time stealth plan
 

Lloyds not good for mismatch names as.the majority will say
Some have had no problems....but perhaps.choose another bank. Plenty.to.choose from :-)

Re: 1st time stealth plan
 

Back to topic...(for me anyway now my rant is over)

Sounds like a decent plan, however personally I prefer to use a dongle.

Also I wouldn't be 100% crazy on the idea of using the work address, just in case something went wrong down the line. But then I am just ultra cautious and it would depend on your work environment.

Other parts seem sound though.:thumb:

Re: 1st time stealth plan
 

I agree about work address not being a good choice. Hang fire and see what others think.

Re: 1st time stealth plan
 

Have u been a sleep the last 48 hours there has been a massive purge on paypal and stealth's have been dropping like flies and nobody knows if its linked to entropay or what ever!
I personally had problems with Tesco and Halifax and I told everyone whats you problem?
Pls leave the mods to answer posts if u want to chastise people :amen:

Re: 1st time stealth plan
 

LLoyds was never okay there are better banks

Re: 1st time stealth plan
 

No I haven't been asleep the last 48 hours. I have however been selling, cashing out and relisting on all my Halifax/entropay combos ;)

Re: 1st time stealth plan
 

I come on here and tell people my personal experiences and they can judge for themselves and i am glad Halifax works for you but my branch is a nightmare
and I also use Entropay but its now on hold till a mod sorts out the stealth problem with paypal

Re: 1st time stealth plan
 

Actually you do not. You make broad sweeping generalisations and presume that because something hasn't worked for you for whatever reason it is no good for stealth.

Re: 1st time stealth plan
 

U seem to rip into my posts but that's okay I can take it
and yes entropay is used and is safe but now there is question marks over it and until we get answers I would not recommend anyone buying a stealth as it could last a few days or using entropay but that's just my opinion and everyone can carry on regardless :amen:

Re: 1st time stealth plan
 

Are you advising that noone should be setting up accounts now as there is so much uncertainty??
Im wanting to make some more and leave them be, but in two.minds.whether to wait till january or start now and let them sit with.just browsing history.

Re: 1st time stealth plan
 

yes it would be smart to wait for a bit rather that steam roll ahead blind
So waiting for a mod or someone to work out the cause of the stealth demise is best :amen:

Re: 1st time stealth plan
 

and at what point has anyone mentioned Entropay or any type of prepaid visa card is the issue? Far from it, miles from the issue in fact.


Mobile Phone Number - tesco numbers are a good choice
Entropay is fine OP
Halifax / Santander / RBS / Natwest / HSBC / BankofScotland - just a few that are all OK.
An address that you have access to preferably - this is for returns from customers, should you have any. (Stay away from a work address) PO Boxes do work well or mailboxes from companies. Make sure to scroll to page 500 to find a good unused mailbox provider if that's how you want to go.

Re: 1st time stealth plan
 

Back to topic....as i think threadstarter is probably very confused now.

Original thread poster....advise you.go with just_smile
Think changing.your bank would be better though and avoid lloyds :-)

Re: 1st time stealth plan
 

Entropay has been mentioned by a few but I also don't think it's the issue

Re: 1st time stealth plan
 

Thanks Callidus...was starting to panic because ive not been.scouring the forums the last couple of days and thought id missed something.
Can you please.clarify for everyone if its ok to make accounts.now. Perhaps not sell on them...but make them??

Re: 1st time stealth plan
 

It was all panic caused by a LOT of misleading information. There is an active issue for sure and probably more on the horizon but lots of panic and bad info being poured into this.

Create accounts, always create accounts and have backups. Stealth is stealth and if you're in the game, always be prepared for the worst.

Think Aspkin's motto was - 'don't put all your eggs in one basket'
