Where I am coming from is making a stealth account to last and work, Not make a stealth account and abandon it because of factors that are too hard to resolve.

Fair enough , i may wait and not list the phone for a few days then until i have some feedback.
whats the quickest way to get feedback of ten?
also, i was thinnking...the paypal account ,the new one doesnt have my own name or address...so wat happens if they come along one day and ask for proof of id, etc...? when you get to a certain amount im sure they do it.

Re #24:
I wasn't fluent in bidder blocking for the first 2 years. A n00b that can do those tricks right out of the gate? I see MCxxxx (xxxx=something we've not seen before) dropping from the sky on his poor snot-locker.
ash, you are going to stab yourself in the back, if you continue on this train of thought. It's already gone halfway off the rails.
STOP THINKING LIKE A CRACKHEAD.
If you need money for that phone, go to a pawn shop and just get paid. You try doing your thing on ebay, you won't make it and only be wasting time.

The BEST way to get 10 feedback is to sell 15-20 low value items. The quickest way is to buy cheapo junk and pay instantly.
Do you realise that it is almost guranteed that your payment will be held for 21 days, or until you receive positive feedback/PayPal can confirm delivery.

You give them what they want
Sorry GreenBean, I really CANNOT see why blocking buyers would have an adverse effect on an account....
Obviously we should start the account like we know not how to use ebay.
There is only so far you can go trying to stay under the radar...
I always put the blocks on, one of the first things I do, and haven't had any problems...

As I said I am coming from the pov of maintaining stealth accounts. Couple of questions.
Do you drive? Did you pass your test the first time?
Secondly how many account have you made AND left this year? Does not matter why but straight up how many?
Answers will give me an idea
never surrender,never

Have fun. We aren't even beginning to reach dude. All we're getting is more stubborn arguing. Some people only learn one way. Painfully.
Let him sell his phone. If he can get the listing to last till the end. Then while the funds are on 21 day hold, he can deal with the scam SNAD. Unless it turns out the SNAD is valid and no scam. Either way, sad day for our newly phoneless/cashless pal.

Yes I drive....Second time!
This year, I have lost, one, two, three, Four.
I KNOW EXACTLY why I have got those accounts Limited (I have never had an ebay account suspended) (I have never had an account linked)
Too much money coming in in high risk areas

That;s interesting: how did you sell without having a verified paypal attached to your account?
All I'll say to each their own.
I do not agree with much of what you say and some of your advice. that said you have the right to say things: I maintain the right to refute what you say.
Let's leave it at that.

I meant linked to a suspended account.
That's fine, if we all agreed with each other we wouldn't learn anything.
I think your a top guy, very helpful, very knowledgeable.
I just think there is only so far you can go to stay under the radar.
If you get caught, so be it. Start again.
I personally, once the holds are over start selling properly again. Before I sell anything, I will always send myself a few hundred pounds from another account. When I get limited I refund my payment and that funds the new account. I withdraw (and make sure it won't be reversed) before I send anything, and if I get Limited, nothing gets sent and I message all buyers to claim from PP caus its there fault.
That's purely because my first account I went through hoops giving them everything they wanted, and they kept me and my £9k frozen.
Lost all my stock, got my money in the end. 6 months later.
So I say **** paypal
