I’ve been conflicting things in the multiple threads that have been made about this subject.
1) Some people tried changing their stealth info to real info, months before their MP deadline. Then when the MP deadline came, they registered with their real info.
2) Some people tried calling eBay for permission to transfer accounts from their stealth identity, especially if it uses a family member’s info, to their real identity, prior to their MP deadline. Then they proceeded as usual.
3) Some people just applied for MP directly using their real info, without changing the stealth info previously registered on their profiles.
4) Some people registered LLCs, put their real identity as majority shareholder, and their original stealth identity as non-principal shareholder, then signed up for MP as a business account. This incurs extra costs associated with registering the LLC.
Outcomes:
a) For some people, they passed MP with no problems.
b) For others, eBay suspended their account due to information mismatch and demanded an explanation.
I’m just wondering, as of March 2021, is there a proven safe way to change info from stealth to real for MP purposes without eBay suspending the account? My main stealth account has over 5, 000 feedback & it would be horrible to lose it.

not sure if anything is 100% proven way….. I used an LLC from a “privacy state” like New Mexico, Wyoming, Delaware. Upgraded to biz account on ebay, listed someone I knew as a stakeholder and my real info. The name match was no big even said to change the name on the account. So I used the business as the account holder and names as stakeholder. I gave real address for both stakeholders and business address for account.
used ssn on one name and EIN on the other. (just to see what would happen). I kept getting bounced back as a mismatch. eventually i used EIN for both names and was cleared. Then the bank issue came up. Business Bank accounts DO NOT put individual names on the account statements only on debit/credit etc. I submitted the bank statement with biz name and full (MUST BE THE FULL EIN) which you might need to convince your bank to do that. I did. I kept sending the same statement with a couple of transactions showing the employee name purchases. kept getting bounced back. finally, I sent the statement, list of transactions AND a letter from the bank vice president, simply saying xxx company has an account with our bank. the letter listed the EIN and account number, routing number. next day got email “we verified your bank information” good to go. No issues so far. just remember in terms of “regulatory” requirements, the LLC has the legal financial obligations, the members are only a “back up” for ebay in case there is an issue and they need to contact a person. also, you can list “stakeholders” even if they are not actually on the original documents. stakeholders and investors change all the time, so there’s always a transition while filing the paperwork, that helps.

I am in the process of figuring out what to do to convert to MP. I already used my name and SSN for 1 account. I filed a DBA thinking I can use that instead of LLC but if I want to use an EIN I need to have LLC. When I register my LLC can I use my stealth address as business address? Seems like ebay wants a business checking account and not a personal account. Any suggestions on how to do this.

LLCs are the safest way, but also the most costly & will have tax implications (technically you’re always supposed to report your eBay income even as an individual seller, but many don’t if they’re below 200/$20k, especially if they’re just selling old junk from their home. ) LLCs always have to file taxes every year.
Has anyone successfully changed from stealth to real info as an individual without being harassed by eBay afterwards?

I was linked today. I signed up and stated selling on managed payments in July of 2020. I used all my real info on a stealth account.
After about $112, 000 of sales in that time period my account was frozen with MC011. I finally heard back today and they are telling me I was linked to one of my old accounts. The email says they are willing to work with me but it’s all lies as usual with eBay.
My guess is for anyone who signed up with their real info, they are about to start cracking down.

I would like to see this linked email as well, and who did they say you were linked to? You’re 100% sure you’ve never provided ebay your EIN ever before?

3 Best VPNs for eBay Stealth – Tested To Work in 2021 – vpnMentor
Having your eBay account suspended can be incredibly frustrating — especially if you don’t know why, or your suspension was the result of your account being hacked.
If you run your business from eBay, the consequences can be even more serious. eBay suspensions are often permanent and it can take customer service months to get around to looking into your case. That’s months of unmoved stock and a huge loss of earnings.
To get around unfair eBay suspensions, many users are turning to eBay stealth accounts.
When your account is suspended, all of the information linked to that account is logged by eBay — including your name, address, and IP address. This is to prevent suspended users from setting up a replacement account with any of the same information.
An eBay stealth account is an entirely new account created using a new name, address, and even a new IP address. You can pay for a ready-made stealth account or create one yourself.
Either way, you’re going to need a good VPN.
Short on Time? Here Are the Best VPNs for eBay Stealth
ExpressVPN – The fastest VPN around, ExpressVPN will make sure you don’t miss out on any sales.
CyberGhost – CyberGhost is well-priced and packed with features, great for both new and experienced VPN users.
PrivateVPN – An excellent VPN for those on a budget, PrivateVPN is one of the most secure services you’ll find.
Why You Need a VPN for eBay Stealth
There are several reasons why using a VPN is vital for eBay stealthing.
Firstly, you cannot set up a new eBay account with an IP address that is already linked to a suspended account. If you want to create a new stealth account, you will need a new IP address.
A VPN server works like a middleman between your computer and the website you’re accessing — in this case, eBay. When you connect to eBay on a VPN, the e-commerce site will not see your IP address. It will only see the IP address of the VPN server that your traffic is being rerouted through.
Because eBay cannot see your real IP address, it will not register that you are the same user and will not block you from creating a new account.
Secondly, it’s worth remembering that stealth accounts technically go against eBay’s terms and conditions.
If you get caught using one or more stealth accounts, you could face legal trouble. Using a VPN is the only safe way to manage eBay stealth accounts because all VPN traffic is completely encrypted and private.
That means nothing you do while connected to the VPN can be tracked, traced, or monitored.
That’s Not All a VPN Can Do
Geo-spoofing your IP address can also be useful in lots of other ways.
Sometimes, items on eBay can be unavailable or priced differently in different regions. If you choose to connect to a VPN server in a different country, it will unblock the regional version of eBay in that country — potentially giving you access to more competitive prices.
A VPN will also safeguard your privacy and security while you browse. As well as preventing you from being monitored or traced, hiding your IP address guards you against being directly targeted by cyber attacks.
VPNs also usually include some form of adware and malware-blocking technology, making general browsing much more safe and secure.

What is a PayPal Stealth Account? – PureVPN Blog
Before we jump to what’s a PayPal stealth account, it’s important to understand what a stealth account is and how it works.
What is a Stealth Account?
Stealth accounts are quite different from genuinely connected accounts. Essentially, it’s an account made using an alias and otherwise different information than your own. Stealth accounts are managed with separate IP addresses, different names, and distinct details.
The reason you would create a stealth account would likely be because you might have faced a restriction or suspension of your original account.
What is a PayPal Stealth Account?
PayPal is the most widely accepted online payment method across the globe. However, PayPal is unavailable in several countries, making it a massive problem for many, especially freelancers.
Due to this issue, many people rely on stealth accounts, whether it’s for PayPal or eBay, as it helps them continue to offer services and receive payments on their PayPal account, which otherwise wouldn’t be possible.
PayPal stealth accounts are accounts that are not linked to your original credit card or original bank account. These PayPal stealth accounts are under different names and can be accessed via an IP address of a country/location from where they are registered. They are also verified by a virtual bank account and a virtual Visa card.
PayPal stealth accounts enable you to have a PayPal account, which would be impossible if you’re living in a region where PayPal is unavailable.
How to Create a PayPal Stealth Account
To create a PayPal stealth account, you’ll need the following:
A USA IP – You’ll need a USA VPN and connect to a location within the US.
A bogus name and an address based in the USA
A US-based virtual mobile number for verification
A US-based virtual Visa card for verification
A US-based virtual bank account for verification
Why Get a PayPal Stealth Account?
You might get a PayPal stealth account to have a backup plan in case your primary PayPal account gets suspended. If for any reason, your account goes down, you could have your revenue stream come to a halt.
A stealth account ensures that you have a backup account up and running whenever your primary account is unavailable. If you’re setting up a stealth account, make sure you access it with a dedicated IP VPN.
Accessing stealth accounts with a dedicated IP makes more sense as you’ll be the only person who has that particular IP address, meaning more security and online anonymity. Since stealth accounts operate as any normal online account, meaning they involve monetary transactions, you should access and conduct transactions using a VPN service for online privacy and security.
Using a dedicated IP VPN for your banking accounts will provide you with supreme encryption that keeps your transactions private from prying eyes. At the same time, you can access the accounts whether you’re traveling local or international without being locked out.
