Re: eBay UK - Managed Payments ? How will we stealth ?
 

If it follows my experience when Etsy made all their sellers change you SHOULD be fine

I changed the banking details after a couple of weeks as a payment got returned - I used my own name and added a new bank account

I had to wait 5 days for payments to resume but other than that I had no problems with daily payouts

Unfortunately I lost the account due to their ODR policy

I'm not convinced that Adyen share information with Etsy and it may well be they will not share with Ebay

If the account is well established and has no problems I question as to why they would demand ID

But of course I could be wrong

Re: eBay UK - Managed Payments ? How will we stealth ?
 

This is what i'm hoping for. Ebay have never asked me for ID's in over a decade. It has always been Paypal making me go through hoops to prove myself to them.

If that's the case with Adyen then all should be well.

Re: eBay UK - Managed Payments ? How will we stealth ?
 

this totally **** why then not leave PayPal as an option for taking payment and seller have choice to choose what he uses

note are this will be ended of stealth for who outside UK or USA and not have bank account to get money on?

Email from ebay Aus this morning...

Does anyone know anything about registration process? What will be asked to provide?


"Managed payments supports an enhanced buying and selling experience on eBay, providing sellers one place to sell and get paid, and buyers more ways to pay. eBay will manage payments for most sellers in 2020, and your account will be activated for managed payments at the end of July. To ensure you are ready for the change and that there are no interruptions to your business, you will need to register by 15th July 2020.

You can register in a few simple steps including verifying your business information and providing a bank account. This information will allow us to send your payouts and comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) obligations which helps keep eBay a trusted marketplace.

From an email I received today -

You can register in a few simple steps, including verifying your business information and providing a bank account.

Re: eBay UK - Managed Payments ? How will we stealth ?
 

I just got that same email about an hour ago. I’m not a business seller either that’s what’s weird? I don’t have a business to register..

Re: eBay UK - Managed Payments ? How will we stealth ?
 

I have seen people say that they are operating multiple accounts with managed payments here. So obviously there is a way.

Re: eBay UK - Managed Payments ? How will we stealth ?
 

"verifying your business information" ... Well I can verify one of my accounts. But what about the rest of them ?

Looks like running stealths may be over if they are verifying information.

I think we will all be able to own a single account or two. But any more than that may be a problem.

Re: eBay UK - Managed Payments ? How will we stealth ?
 

Seems to me like if there will be no more stealth unless you are doing identity fraud.

Re: eBay UK - Managed Payments ? How will we stealth ?
 

Not identity fraud if the stealth name is not a true one.

Re: eBay UK - Managed Payments ? How will we stealth ?
 

It is identity fraud if the only way to stealth managed payments is if you use a real stolen i.d and documents alongside stealth bank/vba that can be opened online using stolen identity. Hopefully it doesn't come to this.

Re: eBay UK - Managed Payments ? How will we stealth ?
 

I don't know why everyone uses a different name ... all my stealth accounts are using my REAL name just random addresses. Everyone withdrawing to phantom names risk the actual bank seizing their funds one day, not a question of will they, it's when ... I would never take that risk.

Re: eBay UK - Managed Payments ? How will we stealth ?
 

I didnt think of this. So i guess if all the other details, DOB, address etc are different then there is no issue with linking.

Dunno how great that would be in my instance though as all my stealths are male....i wonder how well ebay would cope with name and gender change!

Re: eBay UK - Managed Payments ? How will we stealth ?
 

Stealth isn't like how it used to be many years ago. Ebay are a big corporate company they have IT departments making changes to how they operate all the time, implementing new technology / methods etc.

I have been stealthing with my real name / using old ebays with new paypals, old paypal with new ebays for well over a year now. Spoken to customer services multiple times. THERE IS NO LINK. And if there is they don't care ! they care about what you sell and how well you integrate in to their trusted community. Break that trust and you can say bye to your privileges.

If you don't follow policies, sell vero, digital goods or anything that doesn't suit their platform ONLY THEN will you get banned again. And there has to be more than 1 link. And they definitely look at the reason your initial account was suspended as well.

Re: eBay UK - Managed Payments ? How will we stealth ?
 

The only TRUE advantage to stealth is the fact you can run dozens of accounts thus enabling yourself to get a larger share of ebays algorithm in YOUR favor. So if you sell the same items over multiple accounts you will get more sales than if you just sold on a single account. On top of the fact you can sleep at night knowing if one account goes down for whatever reason you can still continue business as normal.

I think this will all change with managed payments no doubt as we will only be able to have 1 business 1 personal.

Re: eBay UK - Managed Payments ? How will we stealth ?
 

I had never thought of that - thanks..:thumb:

Re: eBay UK - Managed Payments ? How will we stealth ?
 

I'm pretty curious about what you just said, and i'm interested. In my case, my account has been banned last summer, so, if i'm following your path here, you say that making a new stealth account with the same name shouldn't be a problem ? New phone number, new bank, another adress ( a fully random one, yes but how about IP localisation ? if that's like 500 miles away from your localisation ? ) ?

Now, if they ask for ID, well, i'll have to send my ID card, wouldn't it link me to my banned account ?

Thanks buddy, that's helpful.

Re: eBay UK - Managed Payments ? How will we stealth ?
 

My question was the same - if you are using the same name for all accounts what are you doing about ID?

Just getting creative with your ID and leaving the real name but changing the address?

Re: eBay UK - Managed Payments ? How will we stealth ?
 

I guess that might be a solution, and since you're using your real identity but being creative a little bit on it, i guess it's not really a fraud... is it ?

Re: eBay UK - Managed Payments ? How will we stealth ?
 

Are you a high volume seller?

Or are small volume sellers being hit with this as well?

Re: eBay UK - Managed Payments ? How will we stealth ?
 

Come on guys use your brain ...

Since when does your passport have your home address on it ?

The stealth game really isn't for you if you can't do the basics because you will trip up when it really counts during a limitation later down the line etc.

Re: eBay UK - Managed Payments ? How will we stealth ?
 

so @James_112233 you are using the same date of birth for your accounts not just name?
