Using brothers address
Can anyone let me know if it's a good idea to use my brothers address for a new stealth account? He has an ebay/pp account at that address in his own real name and his last name as the same as mine. I was thinking of using my real middle name and real last name... Will ebay suspect anything?
Thanks in advance |

No it would not be a good idea. You could get your brothers account limited.
You need a fresh address. Look at mail forwarding and rentable mail boxes :thumb: |

| I've looked at some mail forwarding companies, and they use shared addresses. Won't someone have already used the address and got suspended? The other option is P.O box but that is far too expensive for me right now. |

| PO box prices vary, some are very reasonable, they don't all have sky high prices calb99, if you are successful with setting up your ebay/paypal account after the initial slow cautious building up of it you will soon start earning on it and have no problem paying your PO box fee's after the first month to six weeks. |

| Are you talking about with Royal Mail? The cheapest I can see here - to help manage your business mail address professionally | Royal Mail Group Ltd - is £142.90 for 6 months or £250 for the year. I know this is probably nothing to a lot of people, but it's a lot for me. |

| You have to be a bit picky and look around a bit, you can also put po box numbers into Google and compare them see which looks the best option to you, you might find something that you only have to pay for when and if you actually get post through, you could even put that's into Google, mail forwarding that only pay for when post comes through it. |

| That would cause a link as well - don't use as an "added address" |
