Step 3 in the ebay Stealth Book is about creating the accounts themselves. I do not have access to a family member or friends details and I am not from the US so my best bet is option 2: 'name-variation'!

Should I change my name completely or do a name variation?

Also what bank should I use?

Do NOT Worry about using a Family Members Name, Youvare MUCH BETTER Off NOT Using a Family Members Info, Believe me it is BEST to just Use ANY Random Name,,Better even that a Variation of your own Name,,

The Real Worry is the address,,,if you expect to buy on the account or expect to deal with Item returns,,well, then you MUST have access to the address,,Remember, you can ALWAYS Rent an address,,

Yer I have access to an address!

But if I use a random name what will happen if paypal want to see photo ID to verify or a bank statement?

As for the Bank, Im Not to sure about the UK, But here in the US Virtually EVERY Bank works, Im Quite sure that that is also the case in the UK,,

One way to find out is to ask the Bank if the account that you wish to set can accept "Direct Deposit" if the bank tells you that the the account can be set up to accept Direct Deposit, then you can be 99% certain that it will work with Paypal

Ok I will try this

[NoneOther]

Every UK bank account will accept a Direct Deposit that is not the issue.

In order for a bank account to work with p/p UK they need to accept Direct Debit which normally only covers current and basic banks account not savings.

Savers can and have been used with mixed success, a lot will depend on how other accounts with ANY particular bank are operated as to whether they may or may not last.

With regards to ID docs, pm a mod for assistance with this.

whats that mean.

[NoneOther]

That should have read "any particular bank"

[mirus]

My last 2 paypal accounts I never used a vcc or a pre paid credit card at all! I kust used my bank debit card! Will it be alright for me to do the same again but with a completely different bank account?

Many thanks GB

Need more help and guidance on the credit card/bank account section. I don't mean to be a pain but Ian completely new to all this and just want to get everything accurately right!

So far I have created a new user account, changed my IP address and created a brand new email. Now I really need help on the really sticky stuff I.e. Bank accounts, credit cards, real name? ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name? Real address ? ⊗⊗⊗⊗ address? I know that people have already told me ways and stratergies to Understand this section but the obfuscation is coming from hearing things from other people then something altogether different from a 3rd source and it just massively complicates the whole process.
I don't want to do something that someone says and then before I know it the police are knocking at my door!

I just need for once the precise correct information from a trusted member of this forum on how I go about this part of the process.

[NoneOther]

This is all fundamental stuff that is posted all over the forum.

Come back with a formulated plan of how you think you should go about it and folks will respond.

I think the feeding spoons are all in the wash right now.

P.S. If you actually got round to activating your subscription you could then have access to the subscribers forum where you will be able to use the search facility and find everything you nee to know

[mirus]

I actually posted the plan.on the last page and in my previous post I mentioned that I have so far created a new user-account,IP address and email, it is just the following that really confuses me. Your an executive mate please just tell me simplyy how I should progress from here.

Hi Mirus,

Welcome to the forum, I know it can be a bit tricky to get your head around some of the things in the book and in the forum, particularly as you have to differentiate between USA and UK methods.

Basically, make sure you have a new windows user ID/new IP address [buy a dongle]/a new bank account [any account that offers a direct debit, avoid lloyds bank] and a new Entropay card. Those are the basic ingredients.

Don't worry about the comments above, there are a few big ego's on the forum, as in the real world, so don't let it put you off. If you need help/clarification, you can PM me or any of the admins. TizWoz and GreenBean, in particular, really know their stuff.

Try and make use of the Search Button and if you post a thread make it as clear and succinct as possible as this will enable a more precise answer.

Good Luck!

The thing is some of the questions he is asking has been answered and explained.................

[cortex]

I happen to dislike bullies.

If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it; because at the end of the day none of us is as smart as all of us.

[crafty1]

yes but we have been helping him all along............. I am willing to help but he does not help himself by asking so many basic questions at once.... and trust me I am no bully

still as clear as mud.

Saver work 100% if added correctly. the mixed sucess will be down to the person adding it making a mistake or adding one from a bank that PP do not accept, another reson could be someone has used that bank account number without acutally owning it.

regards bnk account just use a real one that has not been used on PP but when you add it to PP add it with your stealth name, your better of with a basic bnk account becuase there are no real credit checks with MOST banks, saves may be a little complicated for you at this stage and there is a method to adding them.

Card , most people use a virtual credit card , there are sellers on this very forum, there are also other methods, like adding the one that comes with your bank account but that also needs EXTRA stpes.

as for adress, the best option is to have a local one that has not been used on PP or ebay before that you have access too, second option to that is virtual address, there are also other methods but like the rest need xtra steps.

Hope that helps and if you need to know anything else, Fire away.
