First things first.. Let’s Get You Organized!
You’ll want to use a spreadsheet or notepad to organize your account details. Making sure to log your account: names, passwords, log-in usernames, email addresses, date of births, mothers’ maiden names, bank account details and anything else you have associated with your account(s). Then, on a new sheet write down the date and every IP Address you have used to login to your accounts. The more organized you are with your accounts the less likely you’ll do something silly such as accidentally mixup account information or login to multiple accounts with the same IP address.
Example shows how one stealth member organizes his account with Microsoft Excel.
You should also include listing times, prices, revisions made, ending times, ending price, how much $$ you lost on eBay/Papal and shipping fees. Then you should put in bold red all the items that were removed by eBay and put a note to not list on that account for a week (more on that later).
Basically everything you do, write it down!
The reason to do this is if for some reason you are limited or suspended you’ll have a history of HOW you created your account and how it was managed. This is really important when correcting any mistakes in your account creation process. Of course you don’t have to do all this but it’s STRONGLY recommended!

Keeping track of your IP Addresses…
It’s a good idea to keep a log of your IP Addresses as you go from eBay account to eBay account. The reason to do this is because sometimes when you change your IP Address, you may get back an old IP Address you used with another account. Most of the time, you will get a brand new IP Address but about 5% of the time you’ll get a previously used IP Address. Also a change of just one or two digits to your IP Address is good enough for our goal. That means if your IP Address is 45.177.245.169 and it changes to 45.177.245.171 you’re perfectly fine!

Once you’re organized.. let’s discuss creating backup accounts!
