Everybody who has a Stealth account has it under a name other than their own, right? The whole purpose of getting a Stealth account was because they cannot get back on “legit“ as their account was suspended.
I’m sure I’m missing something here because certainly a member of your standing wouldn’t be suggesting to throw out everything that we’ve been discussing here and that I’ve paid a lot of money for.’What exactly do you mean by “legit”, As it specifically applies to an eBay account that is not in a person’s legal name and that there is no associated US Social Security number or tax ID attached to it?
(Please I cannot stress enough how appreciative I am and I am legitimately losing sleep over this)
One might have a working paypal account (without PayPal’s debit card so no SS is required), That is linked to a bank in his/her real name.
Revenue generated on this account on eBay may flow rather nicely into PayPal at which time it can be withdrawn to the associated Bank either in three days for free or to the banks link debit card instantly for 1%.
eBay cannot legally dig up the specific name of the bank account is attached to, the most they can do is a couple of test deposits and withdrawals that one can verify rather easily.
This all boils down to eBay wanting to know their customer a little too much. So please what is the best way, or only way one can continue with this Stealth account?
It’s been suggested to put in random numbers, however wouldn’t that put the eBay account holder in extreme Jeopardy for identity theft if that number does belong to someone and very easily can be verified that it doesn’t belong to the name on the eBay account? Thanking you very much in advance.
PS: I tried answering a very nice fellow who answered me right away however apparently I don’t have enough points accumulated to respond. | People on here dont give out their tricks regardless if it's amazon or ebay.
ditching the account comment is stupid.
you have 2 options..however, they're in the process of being tested.
1. you change info and provide them with a new name and ssn.. yours or someone elses. darkweb will do that for you.
2. this is the option i'm taking.. I'm switching from US to UK .... however once I changed the registered country, the manage payment stop asking for it and it keeps looping to (learn more).. deadline ended..so cannot list or revise. I contacted ebay and by tomorrow i can let you know how it goes.. but i received this
"I have looked into this for you and can advise that you will need to change your registration site to UK. Once that is done we can then look to get you registered for managed Payments and get the block removed.
To change your registration site I will need to speak to you so if you reply to this email with a time to call you tomorrow we can get the ball rolling on this. "
So even though I changed my registration in ebay and my profile says UK. they still see it as a US account.. so when i contact them tomorrow, i'll know more about what they require and will let you know.
but you'll need to provide them with a UK bank account. however, I did ask them if I could place a UK bank into a US account and vise versa but they didn't know.. I'll run it by them again tomorrow.
Finally, they stated that if they can't verify your ssn, then you'll need to provide them with a passport.. This is doable and I was going to go this route, but I didn't know if I could place a UK bank..
hope the helps
