The following instructions are 100% required. You WILL destroy your account if you do
not follow the guidelines completely. For support or to purchase stealth eBay and
PayPal accounts, head to @ StealthAccts.com
With any new account the FIRST thing you want to do is establish device trust before listing
any items or making changes to your account. When you first login to a purchased account
(without browser cookies or Flash objects intact), eBay and PayPal will NOT trust your device.
As a result if you make any major changes to your account, you may be limited pending further
verification.
It’s like this because PayPal and eBay suspect you are not allowed to access the account and
as a result will place increased scrutiny on any actions you take UNTIL trust can be established.
That makes sense, right?
To overcome this you’ll want access your account from a clean device firstly and under a brand
new IP address. You will then want to establish device trust. We’ll discuss that next.
** Three Steps to Success **
Step 1: New User Account + IP Address
Create a new User Account on your device (your computer) and change your IP
address. ONLY when you’re on a new User Account on your device AND your IP
address has changed, should you login to your account.
A new ‘User Account’ gives you a clean slate to work with (no browser cookies or flash
objects for eBay or PayPal to link to previous accounts). And a new IP address is also
used to prevent account linking.
*Continued below.
Step 2: Establish Device Trust
Next, you may login to the Gmail, eBay and PayPal accounts from the new ‘user
account’ you created.
Do NOT login to accounts until you have created a new user account on your computer
and you have changed your IP address or have setup a dedicated IP address.
To establish trust with eBay and PayPal, the first few days you’ll want to browse and
watch items. This is NOT a time to list items. If you do that you WILL have problems.
This is extremely important. You’ll want to browse and watch multiple items. The idea
here is to build up a positive history with your account. The more the better..
Note: Do not make ANY changes to the account until 30-days of ownership. You need
a solid history of logins before you can safely change passwords or any account details.
NEVER clear the history on your browser, don’t reject cookies, and don’t run ccleaner.
Cookies = Trust.
*Continued below.
Step 3: List Items SLOWLY
After a minimum of 1-week you may start listing low-risk household items. DO NOT LIST ITEMS
WITH MULTIPLE QUANTITIES FOR 90-DAYS. This will suspend your account instantly.
IMPORTANT: Make sure your bank account is CONFIRMED in PayPal before listing your first
item. Understand confirming isn’t simply adding your bank details. Confirm by micro deposits!
Suggested Listing Schedule..
The key to success is starting SLOW, starting with only ONE low-risk item. What is low risk?
Something CHEAP and USED - sporting goods, clothing, books, and toys work very well. Take
a loss if necessary, just get it sold and ship quickly.
After the first sale, increase listed items weekly. I recommend low-risk, auction style for as long
as possible (NO ITEMS WITH MULTIPLE QUANTITIES). Gradually mix in higher-risk items and
work your way up to regular selling. The goal is to survive past 90 days - the probationary
period. This means growth cannot explode!
Based On Your Current Selling Limits…
1. 10/1000: Increase weekly listings by 2 (1,3,5…) for the first month, then 3
the next month, then 4 after that.
2. 50/5000: Increase weekly listings by 4 (1,5,9…) for the first month, then 6
the next month, then 8 after that.
3. 1000/25000: Increase weekly by 6 (1,7,13…) for the first month, then 12
the next month, then 24 after that.
WARNING!! The recommended selling limit for the first month is up to $500, the
second month $1000 and the third month $1500. This is important during the first
90-days, again this period is the probation period for new accounts and any dollar
amount above this MAY lead to premature limits on your account.
Note: You’ll want your PayPal account CONFIRMED and VERIFIED before listing items on eBay. That
means your bank account is verified via the micro deposits. If you rush past this then you put your
account at risk
Follow these 10 rules!
Rule 1. Avoid Listing High-Risk (Expensive) Items: You want to think and act like a new user.. that
means staying away from high-end electronics or other high-risk items in the beginning (it’s a red flag for
new accounts). Start off by listing 1-2 low risk items such as used clothing, books or toys. As your account
ages you can list more items. You assume full responsibility by listing high-risk items. Work them in slowly
and gradually.
Rule 2: Avoid Shoddy Merchandise: Don’t list shoddy or low quality items. You want low risk items, not
low quality.
Rule 3: Avoid Slow Shipping: Get those items sold and shipped off quickly. That means you don’t want
to be drop-shipping items if at all possible.
Rule 4: Provide Top Notch Customer Service: Keep your customers HAPPY! Don’t argue with
customers or become unprofessional. Always go above and beyond to keep your account in the green.
Rule 5: Avoid Stock Images: NEVER use stock photos for your items. Use original photos from your
camera or phone, and wipe the EXIF data.
Rule 6: NEVER Duplicate Listings Between Accounts: Every account must have unique titles,
descriptions, AND pictures. One of the easiest ways for eBay to link an account is by duplicate listings..
don’t do it!
Rule 7: NEVER sell ANY digital items, and never buy eBooks or recipes for quick feedback. This is
THE quickest way to kill accounts. NEVER buy cheap auction items with the balance in your PayPal.
Ebay has started killing accounts that do this as well.
Rule 8: NEVER reuse any old information on this new account. ANY information shared with a
suspended account will suspend this one!
Rule 9: NEVER change ANY account info until 30 days after ownership. You need a solid history of
logins to change passwords or any account info.
Rule 10: NEVER clear the history on your browser, don't reject cookies, and don't run CCleaner.
Cookies = Trust.
*Continued below.
That’s easy enough, right?
In a nutshell you want to provide top notch customer service, ship items out quickly,
write descriptive product listings with high quality UNIQUE images and maximize your
selling limits while being mindful of avoiding high risk items and or listing too quickly.
The first 2-3 months are an especially trying period for new accounts. Any little thing you
do could potentially put your account at risk for suspension. Follow these rules as
closely as possible for the best results.

Note: If you’re worried about returns going to the wrong address, use a 3rd party
shipping service like stamps.com or ShipStation. Use "Shipping Dept" as the name on
labels. You are allowed to add a returns address, just don't change the
registration address for at least 90 days after your 1st sale. To add a returns
address, go to the My eBay Page and click "Account", then on the left side click
"addresses"... on the "Primary return address:" add your returns address. Make sure the
address you are going to use has not been used with eBay/PayPal previously. We
recommend UPS Store Box, they accept all packages from all carriers.
As you follow these rules, your selling limits will naturally increase, PayPal holds will
drop off and your ability to list normal (higher-risk) items will increase. I understand that
you may want to jump right back into selling without restrictions but eBay will shut you
down in a heartbeat if they feel you’re a risk. Take it slow. Spread out your sales. And
you will be successful.
