Managed Payments possible solution
 

one person told me his stealth accounts are working as normal without the need to apply for eBay managed payments. Why is this possible well first of all we first sign up in other country and making the account fully verified then we change the item location by adding a dispatch address in the UK or USA. Now you don't need to worry about the eBay managed payments because we are using the system from the other country.Your customers will have no way of knowing this as the item always shows its located in the same country as yourself.

That's a well discussed temporary workaround but isn't ideal for account creation for many.

Let's not forget it's only temporary, eventually all seller accounts new and old, will be MP, without exception.

Many new accounts are managed payments as well. I made 2 that are managed payments in fact today while trying to get old paypals. I have yet to have ebay ask for an ID or bank statement for the MP I've made. So far so good i guess. knock on wood!

Soon once they stop all new account creations with Paypal, all accounts even stealth will have to be MP. The good news, the trick to make them work is the same thing the etsy "stealth" are using :) You just add a bank and you're off

eventually all seller accounts new and old in USA but not in other country's.

Re: Managed Payments possible solution
 

Wrong. ALL ebay seller accounts.

Re: Managed Payments possible solution
 

there is no ssn numbers and other staff in other country's

Re: Managed Payments possible solution
 

so they cant see name on bank on MP? you just add a bank and you are good?
they ask last 4 digits and date

Re: Managed Payments possible solution
 

in my experiences lately yes.

Re: Managed Payments possible solution
 

that's crazy. can you use bank that you used on some PayPal?

Re: Managed Payments possible solution
 

Whatever..... :lol:

Re: Managed Payments possible solution
 

MP in other countries don't rely on SSN. Canadian and UK accounts of mine getting hit up

Re: Managed Payments possible solution
 

same here man

Re: Managed Payments possible solution
 

what is your return shipping address?as registere with Ebay?

Re: Managed Payments possible solution
 

Some countries may never use MP,thats what Ebay/MP said.It may have something t o do with transferring fund to the local bank

Re: Managed Payments possible solution
 

Got a link because I've never seen one nor has any excluded countries been discussed here.

Given their operational agreement with Paypal has expired I wonder what those counties you claim wont go onto MP will do then?

Re: Managed Payments possible solution
 

exactly that's what Im saying some of them don't use MP and the key is to know which ones. Read ebay policy is say Most of our accounts not all go to MP.

Re: Managed Payments possible solution
 

Right...
And how exactly do you enroll in MP in the US without providing the SSN friend? What am I missing in your story?

Re: Managed Payments possible solution
 

I think what he is saying he just type any last 4 digits of ssn and date of birth and any bank account and they don't chek sometimes it works maybe? thats only for accounts that start with MP.

Re: Managed Payments possible solution
 

On etsy we have been able to use the same account more than once has anyone been able to use it for ebay on MP?

Re: Managed Payments possible solution
 

Sorry but thats nonsense.
They VERIFY the SSN and DOB. On ALL accounts that enroll in MP. Its an automated system.
No way around that (other than some workaround involving business accts and EINs/LLCs - which I highly doubt hes providing).
So again the question is - how does he get his accts enrolled in MP without that particular information?

Re: Managed Payments possible solution
 

I’d also be interested to hear confirmation from Moscutter that all the information entered is random and not somebody’s ssn.

Its all fine and dandy to use a DBA (doing business as) for a stealth account, thats completely legit. But stealing somebody’s ssn is completely unacceptable.

Usually I’d give the poster the benefit of the doubt. But this isn’t the first warning he has received regarding this

Re: Managed Payments possible solution
 

No they don't. My 100% stealth MP account has been enrolled since 11/2020 and has had 2377 transactions and over $50k pumped through it and is still going strong.

100% stealth means ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name, ⊗⊗⊗⊗ address, ⊗⊗⊗⊗ dob, and ⊗⊗⊗⊗ ssn
