The most important step in creating a stealth eBay account is the personal information you
submit. If you make the mistake of providing any information that leaks you out as someone that
already has an account with them (suspended or not does not matter), then you have screwed
the whole process – and you should wait for when the new account will be suspended. Let take
a look at the personal information you have to come up with new details for.

1. Creating New Personal Information.

 Name:
Use different name, not because eBay would use it for linking but for payment and verification
purposes. eBay does not link accounts because they have similar names. When it comes to a
name to use for your account, you have to make use of a name that is verifiable by eBay and
PayPal. It is advisable to use that of a family member or friend that does not have an account
on eBay (and PayPal). The advantage of doing this is that supportive documents and IDs.

 Home/Office Address:
When choosing an address, it is best you make use of a real address that you have access to.
While you can make use of address you do not have access to when a customer needs to
return an item, he or she might become suspicious and report you to eBay if you demand he
uses a different address other than the one listed – there is definitely a way around this, but it
can backfire.

The best option available to you in terms of address is to use the address of that family member
or friend you use his name – with consent, of course. You can also rent a P.O. Box.

Example: https://iconoffices.co.uk/

https://www.expost.uk/

 Phone Number:
Just like your name and address, you also have to make use of a phone number that has not
been used on eBay before – and make sure you have access to it as eBay will call you. For
eBay, you can make use of a phone number provider that will route calls to your real phone
number. 
Example: https://www.switchboardfree.co.uk/
 Email Address
When it comes to email address, you can make use of any free provider. However, Gmail is the
preferred option. This is because it disables Web Beacons by default. eBay places tiny images
(web beacons) in emails to track IP addresses.

If you are not sure if this is disabled, go to settings, look out for the external content option and
make sure the “Ask before displaying external content” is selected. It is best the email address
mirrors the name you choose above.

 Bank Account Number and Credit Card


If you have a different account you have not used on eBay before; you can use it, not minding
the discrepancy between your real name and the one you use in creating your eBay and PayPal
accounts. If you do not have an account you have not used on PayPal before, then you have to
go and open a new account. There are a good number of banks that work perfectly with
PayPal .Make sure you use your real information here. PayPal does not have any way to verify
the name on your bank account even though they ask you for a “name on bank account.” Don’t
mess with giving your bank fake details for eBay marketing sake – you will regret it.

 PayPal
While you can have multiple email addresses on your PayPal account, the primary email
address is the one to receive payments and notifications from PayPal. You won't be able to edit
or remove your primary email address while it's assigned.

If you want to use a different email address to receive payments and notifications, you'll need to
add and confirm that email address in your account first, and then make it your primary email
address. Here's how:

1. Go to your Settings.
2. Click + next to "Email address".
3. Enter the new email address and click Add Email Address.
4. We'll send you a confirmation email. Find it in your inbox and click the link in the
email to confirm this email address.
5. On your Settings page, click Edit next to this email address and select "Make this
your primary email for receiving notifications".
6. Click Change Email Address.

You may add up to 7 email addresses to your PayPal account. Each email address can only be
used in one PayPal account at a time. You can edit or remove your secondary email addresses
from your Settings anytime.
 Cancelling Automatic Payment Method
Do it from your old IP.

1. Log in to your PayPal account.


2. Click Settings near the top of the page.
3. Click Payments.
4. Click Manage pre-approved payments.
5. Click Cancel or Cancel automatic billing and follow the instructions.

2. Deal with eBay Browser Cookies and Flash Object tracking


eBay makes use of browser cookies and Flash objects for tracking. Whenever you log in, eBay
drops cookies in your browser and use that for identifying you. You need to clear this from your
browser before you can create a new account to prevent eBay from linking it with your previous
account(s).

If you intend to create only one stealth account, all you need to do is eBay cookies and Flash
objects. Use the Cleaner software for clearing cookies. For Flash objects, visit the Adobe Flash
Player Settings Manager and delete your Flash cookies. The Adobe Flash Player Setting
Manager is accessed using your browser. The best option is to create new administrator user
for log-in to new account.

3. Change Your Device IP Address

An IP address is a numerical label assigned to computers on the Internet, which can be used for
uniquely identifying computers on the Internet. If your account was suspended by eBay, your IP
address would also be blacklisted, and any account associated with the IP address risk being
suspended too. The best thing is to change your IP address. Getting a new device is the best.
However, there is no justification for the price incurred. Because of this, the best option is to
either make use of a VPN or proxies. I will advise you to make use of proxies.
When using a proxy, your real device IP address will be replaced with a new one. For the proxy
server to be effective, it has to be undetectable – and make sure it has not been blocked from
accessing eBay. Mobile proxies and static residential proxies are the best.

4. Go ahead and create your eBay Account


Now that you now have a new name, address, phone number, email address, new bank details
for PayPal verification, it is time to create your eBay accounts. Before you continue with this
step, make sure you uninstall all eBay plug-in from your browser. After that, you can then
proceed to create a new PayPal account. This is because using your previous PayPal account
will leak you out.

Use the personal user information for creating your PayPal account. It is important I stress here
that PayPal is not the only checkout option. You can make use of a Merchant Account, but
that’s extra work and stress.

After creating the PayPal account using the new bank detail and prepaid card to lift withdrawal
limits, it is now time to create your eBay account. Make sure you use the information as planned
and keep a record of the information in a spreadsheet or any form you wish.

Things you need to record in the spreadsheet include your new name, phone number, address,
PayPal login details, eBay login details, and IP address.
5. How to protect your eBay Stealth Account
Now that you have created your stealth account, it is important you protect it. Else, what
happened to your previous account will happen to it. If you own just one stealth account,
managing it will be easier for you. However, for those with multiple accounts, they need to be
careful to make sure they do not mistakenly log into another account using the IP address for
another account.

You need to be conscious to avoid making mistakes. Listing the same products using the same
images, description, titles, categories, or even cost can raise red flags. You need to make the
listing different, change the wording, and make everything seems new. Avoid using the same
image too.

Another thing you need to consider is that you need to always leave some money in your
PayPal account – anything between $100 to $150 will do. You do not have to withdraw money
after every sale, especially when you sell high-risk items. On selling, make sure you take things
slowing. For a young account, red flags will be raised if you sell many high-risk items too
quickly.

Conclusion

Looking at the whole process above, you can tell that creating a stealth eBay account that can
withstand verifications is achievable. You do not need to pay anyone to do that for you. If you
follow the above steps, you should have your eBay stealth account set up in no time. As a
reminder, make sure there’s no trace that can be used to link your suspended account with the
stealth account else, you will lose it too.
