Should I or should I not?
 

Should I register for MP on my 7 year old stealth.

Or shall I create an entire new eBay account with genuine details?

I was banned a few times a long time ago using my original details but have never used these details on mp.

Thoughts?

Re: Should I or should I not?
 

Yes go for it! If your real details have not been banned on managed payments before you can re use them.

Re: Should I or should I not?
 

But use them on stealth or use them on register a new account and use them?

I'm reading that if I use real details on a stealth and I reach a specific selling limit, then they'll request ID to verify account owner...?

Re: Should I or should I not?
 

If your 7 year old stealth is working fine, why change anything?

Re: Should I or should I not?
 

you just apply for MP using your real details on existing non-MP stealth , if they ask for ID you upload you real ID

Re: Should I or should I not?
 

It's not now, since mp arrived.

Should work fine with MP

Re: Should I or should I not?
 

Definitely transform your existing solid account to MP don't even bother creating a new one as you have to take steps to establish it.

Re: Should I or should I not?
 

I read that the supplied Id must match the account owners Id?

Re: Should I or should I not?
 

Should match.

Re: Should I or should I not?
 

Yes correct eBay will so when you reach the threshold change details to your own details as long as it’s not been suspended with managed payments before and upload your ID if you’re asked too.

Re: Should I or should I not?
 

Is it better to change stealth account owner to my name and address first and then register for MP?

Re: Should I or should I not?
 

No - dont msss around with the eb stealth info. Just register MP in real info.

How are you making sales and accepting payment right now without MP in place?

Re: Should I or should I not?
 

I am not. I've been off eb ever since mp came into affect.

So, register for MP on the stealth account, right? That's the best way? Then when I reach a specific sales threshold I then submit real Id and change eb stealth ownership to real info? Or just submit mp Id?

Re: Should I or should I not?
 

You can just leave the account as a stealth account but you will be asked for Id once you reach £1000 threshold so when you get the email just change everything over to your name date of birth and address and submit passport.

Theirs no better time to sell now with Christmas approaching as well.

I follow - and samspalace advice is on point.

Not sure if my reply will help...
If banned 7 years ago... you have 99 problems - ask Ariana Grande, she'll tell you. (Joke.)

1. Change all your details - like address, IP addresses accessed from, access from a clean account on laptop.
2. You'll have no problems making a new account. (I would urge making lots of accounts gradually.)

If you are John Smith at the same address and register a new account... if you are the same John Smith who got banned at the same address, you will get banned.

If your address was 20 street name, then simply changing to 20a street name will get you through as far as I know (as long as you don't access from same computer etc.)

Re: Should I or should I not?
 

This will not work if you put 20a instead of your correct number 20 you will not pass managed payments as John smith example is not registered at 20a street name John smith is registered at 20 street name.

If you want to use another address you need to use an address on your credit report which has not been used before as eBay will verify you through credit reference agencies.

Re: Should I or should I not?
 

So, there seems to be conflicting information on this. I've taken a gamble and gone for your suggestion.. Use existing stealth, with my real details for MP. So far so good, Im told once I reach 1k sales they'll ask to verify my personal details, i'll then change the stealth registered details to mine.

Re: Should I or should I not?
 

Right, I've reached over 1k in sales, no email from EB yet. Using real MP and stealth acc. Shall I now change eb registered stealth details to real details before I get the email from eb asking for ID?

EDIT: Just logged into my eb and it appears that when I registered for MP, it updated my stealth details with real details...is this right?
