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

Real name, ⊗⊗⊗⊗ address. Uploaded banking portal screenshot which doesn't show address.

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

That will be fine then , they are real details, we already know this bit :) . Whats the concern/relevance?

When asked for ID send your passport over DL, so no address.

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

Exactly what I intend to do if my first account fails after submitting real address.

Still waiting to see whether I am allowed to sell once they notice the banned address when putting me on to managed payments. It's been a week or so since I submitted my real address and real bank statement.

People that are thinking why I would do that ...

Well i've been using ebay for over a year now with many links across all of my accounts i.e. old paypals, same IP logins etc and they haven't suspended me yet.

I got a feeling as long as there are not too many links at one time and your account is in good standing they let you off the hook. We shall see.

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

Yes it will be interesting to see if we get verified - the section where I had to enter my address had a note stating the address was used to verify identify. If this is the case then a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ address won't work but we shall see.

I think they might keep us in limbo until end of July before they tell us if we have passed verification.

Then of course at a later date when they ask us to submit photo ID we may get banned as the the ID will be of a previously banned person.

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

They use a soft credit check, if the name/address/bank all match, then ID probably wont be required. If they don't match, Id will be be required.

I just had the 'Please make sure you register by July 15. Your account will be enabled starting from late July.' come through on all my accounts, similar email to what the Americans have been getting for a while.

That definitely proves the 15th is D-Day in the UK to, as before now, all their emails to me never mentioned the 15th July.

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

It will be great if others chip in with their findings as well, at least in July/August when we are all transferred over on our business accounts, especially the account sellers here.

Fingers crossed for everyone to make it through. Nothing worse than starting from the bottom again.

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

I'm still hoping we can just ignore today's MP email and get a few more months out of this.

My fear has always been I'll end up having to start on the taxis.

That fear is burning hard right now.

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

You wont find account sellers offering info for obvious reasons, but I'd hope to see more everyday posters putting in some info to the discussion, especially when we start to trial it.

For comedy value, I asked eBay CS if this will be a mandatory thing, they said no. Lol.

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

Until that email I was hoping a few more months to..but now with that eBay, it has been somewhat, deeply, concerned and stressed thats for sure. Its like a looming redudancy.

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

I know we can't say for certain right now how we should go about this but I am just thinking....

If we have multiple stealths that we care about and are selling legit items with good customer service, do we just pick the one we like the most and register that for MP and cross our fingers.

And then just forget about the other stealths.

This is how i am seeing it.

I really hope we can keep multiple stealths alive, but i'm struggling to see how its possible?

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

Yes, if the only possible way is to get one single account on to MP then your hero account needs to be the one that gets trialed.

That's what I have done.

The others aren't that far off to build up back to the level of my hero account but if I am only going to be allowed one account with my real details then i've already submitted the forms on that account and i'm just waiting to see whether in July they activate MP on it and let me carry on selling.

Everyone will be experimenting in different ways no doubt.

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

Lol, I like that, hero account.

I have two hero accounts, and two that essentially buy my stock. I think I may have to lose one account and I can possible salvage three out of the four with 'real' details from friends.

However juggling all the money to buy the stock and pay for Royal Mails click and drop is going to be a real ballache. Right now, PayPal is used to buy stock and pay Royal Mail.

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

eBay does allow multiple accounts with the same details, so it may be a possibility, or do what I am doing and loaning friends and their savings accounts with a little percentage of profit to them each month.

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

Absolutely forgot about that. All the accounts may be transferred to MP after all then. I don't care about links to be honest, I have no intention of running separate stealth accounts anymore. I only ever needed a stealth account to get back to selling in the first place. I don't sell vero so don't burn through accounts.

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

2 of my stealths have a very close match to my real name but not an exact match.

For example

Real name - Phil Smith
Stealth name - philly smiths

I could possibly change the names to my real name and hope I never get asked for Id.

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

Why don't some of you who got the email immediately list an adult sex toy or something just to see if mp goes away ?

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

Haha. Why would it go away?

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

Because it's a forbidden item if you want to be qualified for mp supposedly

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

Any links to where you have seen that?

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

Apologies if I have missed something in this thread, but how is signing up to eBay managed payments any more of a hurdle than opening a stealth Paypal account and getting verified using 'creative' documents? Is it the unknown eBay/Adyen checks that people are concerned about?

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

It may not be, but no one has tried it yet (or no one has reported trying it yet)

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

I see, thanks. Well I suspect someone will find out (and hopefully report it here) sooner rather than later.

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

The only difference to normal stealth is that the documents would all need to be in your real name, everything else on them can be changed.

But like you say we don’t know how Adyen/ Ebay is running the identify checks yet.

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

That's it really.

Nobody knows if they are like Paypal or not.

And other than having to use your real name due to your bank account being linked everything else can be different in which case we can still stealth.

But we have to wait and see. I personally think ebay have shot themselves in the foot if Adyen run stringent checks.

So many legitimate stealth retailers on ebay in every category. Every shop loves spreading sales across multiple accounts. It allows sellers to get a good nights sleep as well to be honest. If one account goes down you know your business can still function while you get that account back up and running.

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

Maybe this is wishful thinking, but what if this is just to stop people dodging fees.

This way they have a handle on the money ins an outs more with payments being sent every 2 days.

And they will still allow us to sorta stealth, just not hardcore dodging fees stealth.

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

Have you tried it?

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

It will have a small element to the entire marketing plan and design of MP yes, but its a bitpart.

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

Hmm, I am using 'creative' documents and ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name on my stealth PP accounts, and have my own name on the bank and VCC I have linked to the PP account without any issues.

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

I've not, no.

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

Try it then?

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