A Bare-bones Guide.
First off, before we begin, I want you to be aware of the top three ways eBay and PayPal can link new accounts you create to any old (suspended or limited) accounts you may have. Now I won’t go into too many details right now, I’ll save that for later. Just be aware that if any of your accounts become linked to an old (suspended or limited) account, they will in turn become suspended and limited.
You’re probably already aware of this if you have unsuccessfully attempted to create new accounts, only to be shut down almost immediately with the ‘abusing eBay’ notification.
How does eBay link accounts?
The top three ways accounts can become linked is by:
- Your IP Address (Logging into multiple accounts with the same IP address.)
- Browser and Flash cookies (eBay and PayPal drop cookies on your device each time you log in and if you log in to multiple accounts without first clearing cookies or utilizing ‘user accounts’ on your device, you can become linked.
- and Personal Account Details (Your address, phone number, bank account, credit card, email address, etc. can all link your accounts together.)
We’ll get into more details about this later but I just wanted you to be aware of how eBay and PayPal can link accounts you create and suspend you. Now that you understand that, let’s move on to the basic steps of creating a new eBay and Paypal account. Again, I’ll explain everything in more detail as we progress.
A Quick Overview of eBay Stealth:
Creating a new eBay and PayPal account is pretty easy. It’s how you use your account that can make or break you. When I’m ready to create a new eBay and PayPal account I usually have a new phone number, bank account, and a prepaid card ready to go. I’ll show you how you can get all these later. I then create a new ‘user account‘ on my computer, to protect my accounts from linking, and then all I have to do is change my IP address and then I’m ready to create a new eBay and PayPal account! Sounds pretty easy right? If not read one more time SLOWLY…
Guess what? That’s 90% of what it takes to create a basic eBay and PayPal account that is ready to start selling! The most important part about creating a new account is to make sure all your account details are brand new and that nothing can be linked back to you. That means your name, address, credit card, bank account, phone number and other identifying information must all be completely different. I’ll show you how to get all these in the next steps. Also make sure to NEVER log back into an old suspended account ever again. Once an account is suspended, forget about it and start work on a new account. It’s too easy to mess up somewhere and accidentally link accounts otherwise.
That’s the basic overview of how it’s done! Next I’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of creating your own account. I’ll go into details about obtaining prepaid cards, bank accounts, addresses and phone numbers, among other things, necessary to create your account. I’ll show you everything I have learned over the years to protect your account and, of course, I’ll sprinkle in specialty information such as: Overcoming Selling Limits, Creating Backup Accounts, How to work with Purchased Accounts, Overcoming Tax ID Requirements, etc.
