The Stealth Method to Selling on Ebay with Paypal

What Causes Ebay to Recognize you and tie you to an old Ebay Account?

  1. your IP address
  2. credit card number
  3. website URL
  4. email address
  5. physical address
  6. phone number
  7. same name spelling
  8. same bank account number

To create a new ebay account you will need to get:

  1. a new phone number
  2. a new bank account
  3. a new prepaid card

To start off creating a new ebay account:

  1. Create a new user account on your computer (Windows user account).
  2. Then change your IP address and make sure the cookies and internet files are cleaned out.
  3. and use all new information that can not be linked back to an old ebay or paypal account.
  4. keep records of all data being used on various accounts, so as to never reuse it.

They can track:

  1. Browser Cookies
  2. Flash Cookies
  3. IP Address.

IP ADDRESS DATA:

  • The number (they can track)
  • Remote Port (not really relevant)
  • Internet Provider Name Addy (not relevant)
  • Browser Type (not relevant)

Keep a log of which Mac Address and IP Address you are using on which Ebay User Account and always revert back to the same Mac Address.

To change the Mac and IP Address, all you do is log into your router (via internet explorer) and change the last two numbers on your mac address and save it. It will automatically change your IP Address. Make sure to record and save your new IP address and keep track of which ones were used on which accounts and never use them on another account of yours.

Directions for changing router IP Address:

  1. Log into the router's admin console. (Often http://192.168.1.1/, 2 ; 3 ; 4 ; 5 ; 6 )
  2. The login for the Linksys router is generally username: "admin", password: "password" or "password1". For Arris router password is often: "1234", or nothing if you never logged in before.
  3. Release the IP address - OR - Change the Mac Address (EITHER/OR). (Method varies by router manufacturer)
  4. Turn off router, ethernet hubs/switches, and the cable/DSL modem.
  5. Leave off for about 20 minutes or so.
  6. Turn everything back on.

To check your IP address to see if it changed when you reset your mac address in the router, goto:

The idea is if you have a router, you change that IP address. If you don't have a router, and connect directly to the internet (with a cable from wall) you change your computers IP address (you use these directions in that case):

For your name, use a variation of your name or even a slight misspelling. Or use a DBA (Doing Business As) for you or your company or get a LLC to get past the hurdle.

DBA or LLC:

Indiana DBA Form: https://forms.in.gov/Download.aspx?id=4900

I believe a DBA for your company is best route.. Only $15 to $30 bucks..

Create new email account. Gmail, etc.

Gmail is best.. and make sure this setting to display images is OFF.. 'Ask before displaying external content'

Technically, if you want a quick and dirty Ebay and Paypal account, any person's or company's name will do. However, for long term accounts, you want to play it right and use techniques mentioned above.

Any address within the range of your IP address GPS location will do. However, an address you do not have access to will put you in a disadvantage.

For the address, you could use a relatives address (assuming they have never been on Ebay) or you can rent an address:

    http://www.yellowpages.com/fort-wayne-in/mailbox-rentals?g=Fort+Wayne%2C+IN&q=mailbox+rentals

Or, just put in any local random address (that would not already have an ebay/paypal account). The problem is you do not have access to this address. Fedex maybe can print off return labels for you to put in the box for your customer, IF you go the route of using random addresses?

Another option. Virtual address providers:

Or your city:

Now you need new phone number. You could just use a prepaid phone.

Phone forwarding services and VoIP:

USA ~

CANADA ~

UK ~

Use same area code in your phone number that correlates with your address as listed in Paypal. Also, keep the phone number active atleast 60 days, just in case of call.

Getting a new bank account or credit card.

Here is some prepaid cards you can apply for and use to get onto Ebay: http://www.credit.com/products/credit_cards/debit.jsp

Visa and Mastercard FAQs:

Make 3 to 5 Ebay/Paypal accounts, and let them age. Have maximum of two Ebay accounts connected to a paypal account.

Have multiple accounts with various strategies (on names, on sales approach, etc) so as to experiment and see what works best overall for you.

BURN OUT ACCOUNT:

  • Start off waiting a week before selling anything.. Make sure to establish Google checkout account and have everything ready (paypal situated, etc).
  • Then, sell 1 or 2 electronics in a weeks time.
  • Then, sell about 5 higher priced items in the next week.
  • Then, get up to a max of 5 or so electronics or software items a day for a month straight.
  • Use invoicing from Paypal and Google Checkout to obtain payments and instructions to send payments to my email address.
  • Put Paypal into a different currency. And put on accept/deny on all payments. If paypal is default payment method with Ebay checkout.
  • Goal $5000 to $10,000 profit before account dies.
  • Start over. Make a new account and do it again.

STANDARD ACCOUNT:

  • Wait 21 days before you start to sell.
  • Start to sell TV projector kits and other Optasia and small priced products first.
  • Start with a few sales on first week.
  • Then a sale a day on second week.
  • and then two sales a day on third week.
  • and then three or four sales a day on fourth week.
  • and attempt to get to eight sales a day within two month's time.
  • Sell only safe regular items on this account.
  • Probably put in a third party payment system and cut off Ebay payment system in the end.
  • Make sure that the third party payment system can not be controlled by ebay.



How to Take Payments with Optimum Protection and Less Ebay Control:




For smoother transactions and more control on your side, I think it is wise to try these two payment receiving strategies below.
 
As it takes some of the power from Ebay's hands and puts it in yours.  And who doesn't want more control over their business?
 
If you need help understanding how to implement these techniques, just respond to this email.
TWO NEW TECHNIQUES TO TAKE PAYMENTS ON EBAY:
 
TECHNIQUE ONE: 
 
The idea is to disassociate your payment from Ebay..
 
You goto the preferences on Paypal, so as to make it so you accept or reject payments that come in..  (set them to "Ask Me", see on link):
 
 
To Get to Preferences:
1. Log into Paypal account. www.paypal.com
2. Click Profile Subtab on the right.
3. On the Profile Summary page, look at the "Selling Preferences" section.
4. Click on "Payment Recieving Preferences"
5. Modify relevant ones to "Ask Me" on if a payment comes in.
 
This allows you to accept or deny a payment, while it is at the doorstep of your account.. 
 
And from there, you deny the first payment.   Then, you send them an invoice via Paypal (money request), and they will pay on the money request you sent.
 
Why do this?

Because you then disassociate your payment from Ebay..  That way..  Ebay can not micro-manage you on the sale.. 
 
You can tell your customer the reason is so that you can have it properly in your order system (and maybe put like a PO# on each invoice you send to customers)..
 
BENEFITS:
 
1. Outside Ebay system.. no ebay dispute system..  The ebay dispute system is slanted to buyers..
2. They can not track down the payment and micromanage you, if they don't like something.  Less control in their hands.
3. You fall under the outside of ebay protection system, which is about 5 times better than the ebay one..  It is more towards sellers protection this way..  And you get much less disputes and win more of them...
 
 
A POSSIBLY RELEVANT TIP:  If you are having troubles getting every payment to be "accept/deny" and want a way to make sure 100% come in this way, one way to do it is to change the currency on your Paypal account (to CAD, AUD, GBP) and then temporarily close out USD and set your "payment receiving preferences" to "Ask Me" on all foreign currencies.  This will make all USD payments as "foreign" and will then have them as "Accept/Deny" when they come in.

AN UNRELATED TIP:  If the "deny" button is grayed out, this clever trick solves that problem:
  
TECHNIQUE TWO: 
 
Maybe you already know or not, I am not sure..   But, you can use Google Checkout to get payments on ebay..  You just send invoices from Google to your customers..  
 
So, it is the exact same technique as "Technique One" above, BUT, instead of sending a Paypal invoice, you send Google Checkout invoices..
 
So, you would deny the Paypal payment and then send an invoice from Google checkout instead..
 
That is the only difference..  
  
  
TECHNIQUE THREE: 
 
Sign up with a third party payment system. Then, in your Ebay auctions, click you accept "credit card" on the payment options section. When you click to go submit, you get a warning and a phone number to call to get approved for using a third party payment system. From there, you have to send them your approval paper work from the their party payment system, proving you have ability to do transaction through them. From there,you have to integrated it into Ebay' system.
