What are eBay Stealth accounts?

ebay stealth account

An eBay account that belongs to you but is not linked to your previously suspended eBay account, is called eBay Stealth Account. This is also called an eBay ghost account.

If you are just starting out on eBay or have created a new account that you want to keep suspension-proof, I highly recommend this book.

Why Should You Have eBay Stealth Account?

Selling online on eBay is the bread and butter for thousands of sellers. Whether you have your own stock or you are dropshipping, an eBay suspension puts you out of business, and in a single day, you find yourself sitting at crossroads. 

Unless you have a second source of income, the situation can be really worrisome requiring immediate intervention. Else, it could impact your life badly. 

By now, you should have had a clear idea of why you need a stealth account.

Who Needs a Stealth Account?

If your account has been permanently suspended/banned, you should have a stealth account. Even if your account has not been suspended, you should still have one to ensure you are not forced out of business, should anything happen to your account.

Managed Payment Role in Stealth Account

With the induction of Managed Payment, it has become difficult to create a stealth account because your bank account has to go through a verification process before you can list. All bank accounts go through tough scrutiny. eBay insists that the names on your eBay account and the bank account should be the same.

Literally, it is almost impossible to create a fake bank account. For this reason, it is a good idea to ask your friends or family member if they can allow you to create a new eBay account in their names and use it. It will ensure you have their bank account available to use. You may even want them to open a new bank account for you.

Older members who are retired or do not sell on eBay should be able to help you with ease.

How to Create an eBay Stealth Account?

To make an eBay stealth account, you need to first know how eBay links two eBay Accounts.

eBay does not disclose in the public domain how two eBay accounts are linked so as to nobody is able to circumvent bans. So, if you do not want your new account to get linked to the previously suspended account, you need to change your personal information and EVERYTHING on your account. 

They are:

  • Name
  • Registered address
  • Phone number
  • IP addresses
  • Browser
  • Bank account
  • PayPal account

Additionally, you should deep clean your device or better even change the device if possible so that there is no trace at all. Browser history can detect you and your new account may again get suspended.

Does it mean if you change everything as suggested above, your new account will not get suspended at all? Is it a guarantee?

The answer is No! The account may be suspended even if you have not done anything wrong. If eBay finds something suspicious, your account will get suspended. An example is listing too many expensive products on a new account which triggers the thought that you might not be able to fulfill such expensive orders, just because you do not have an established selling history.

When new accounts were suspended and appealed, eBay asked to provide proof of having the physical products with them to ensure you do have the products. This is an example.

The best way is to avoid providing old account details that you had on a previously suspended account as above, and also understand and avoid the data that eBay has collected previously. You can check the below link to understand what data eBay collects.

FAQs on eBay Stealth Account and More…

Are eBay Stealth Accounts Legal?

There is no law that prevents one from creating a stealth account. However, eBay does not allow it because eBay wants only regular accounts to keep its platform safe from sellers who have been banned.

How Much is a Stealth Account?

It is free to create one. However, you must ensure that your account is not linked to a previously banned account. You can even buy a new stealth account which I do not recommend because you can create one by yourself. Buying a new account can cost you anywhere between $150-$250.

Can I open a new eBay account if mine is suspended?

eBay policy does not allow it if your account has been permanently suspended. You can still create a stealth account and start selling again.

Can I have 2 eBay Accounts?

Yes, you can have multiple eBay accounts.

How do I get around eBay ban?

By ensuring your account is in compliance with eBay policy, you can get around the ban.

Can I use a VPN with eBay?

Certainly, eBay does not mention anywhere a VPN is not allowed. You can use NordVPN which is reliable and affordable.

Can you sell anonymously on eBay?

Yes, you can sell a stealth account, also called an anonymous account.

How many eBay stores can I have?

You can have multiple eBay stores. However, you can have only one store for each account.

Conclusion

If you are an eBay seller, creating a stealth account makes sense to ensure your business is not at risk. eBay may suspend your account anytime for breaching their policies which you may not even be aware of. A stealth account protects you.

While creating a stealth account is a trick, you can do it using the steps above.

Again as a reminder, make sure you need to keep your details separate from your previous account so that eBay does not link accounts as eBay suspends connected accounts.
