I’d be careful with registering stripe under your own name. If you want to scale past 3k/month, I’d say ~5k/month on a single competitor is enough to activate their in-house legal sharks. From there, a subpoena to stripe and guys in black suits will be knocking on your door pretty easily.
And even if it doesnt turn into an actual investigation, a stripe complaint + merchant account closure flagged as terminated for fraud / trademark lands your name on mastercard fraud list. After that you almost cant open a merchant account under your name with any mainstream processor.

This is a clever strategy.
We handle our own ad placements and have even been "parasitized" in this manner ourselves, so I fully grasp the logic behind this approach.
Since posts designed to generate profit through advertising typically enjoy significant daily exposure, you can leverage this by placing an ad for the exact same product—but at a lower price point—directly within that post's comment section. This allows you to directly capture clicks—and potentially even purchases—from your target audience, all without spending a single penny on advertising fees yourself.
Implementing this strategy primarily requires two things: user accounts and time.
Regarding accounts: you can continuously rotate through a roster of accounts to keep "parasitizing" various ad posts.
Regarding time: you need to constantly search for high-quality, trending posts where you can leave comments that redirect potential customers back to your own website.
The payment processing aspect, surprisingly, is not a difficult hurdle to clear. As long as you aren't engaging in brand infringement—specifically, if you are selling unbranded or generic products—you can easily handle payments using platforms like PayPal or credit cards; it is quite straightforward.
If you can successfully scale this method by integrating AI and full automation, it would make for an excellent automated business project.

Sharing a small method that I tested about a month ago, but never really scaled that hard due to time commitments.
We are leveraging competitors high adspend and piggybacking on their ads.
The concept is dead simple — **let your competitors pay for the audience, and you swoop in**
Was doing this manually, but now working on automation, so might start a follow along.
## The Core Idea
Some of these eCom stores are spending **$10K+ per day** on Facebook ads.
That means a massive, warm, buyer-intent audience is getting served their ads constantly.
You find facebook ads for a product that is being scaled hard.
Replicate their site and find the source. Offer @ like 20% discount.
Drop UGC review ai ad of the product and link the video + your site in comments (say that this is way cheaper on xyz.com site)
Buy fake likes, comments on your comment to push it to the top comment.
Why This Works:
- The audience is **already warm** — they were served the ad because they match the buyer profile
- You're offering a **cheaper price** with zero ad overhead
- The comment feels **organic**, not promotional
-You're riding **someone else's $10K/day+ budget** for free
Now whenever competitors ad is being shown to the facebook audience, you are getting free exposure.
Dont scam here and actually deliver the product obviously. Y
ou can offer it @ cheaper price because you are not paying for ads.
So some of these stores as spending 10k per day, and basically you are getting a fraction of that audience for free.
Any questions?
Tried this method 2 years ago but not for ecom products and got one of my blackhat FB account banned. It was one of my best money making accounts so it was a big lost. So be careful, use a fake account to do this. Most of the times the person placing the ads do monitor the comments and will report you if they see you dropping any links etc.
My question is: if I find an ad that I’d like to comment on, how can I do that? I can find advertisers I want to target in the Ad Library, but how can I locate that specific ad in the Facebook feed and leave a comment on it?
Usually these advertisers target specific audience so it would be nearly impossible to see wanted ad.

do it other way around.
Farm few accounts over some days by clicking on products you are interested in, liking them, searching their content, going through shopping cart to fire pixel etc.
Then pick targets.
Accounts are cheap in marketplace, you can buy some for few bucks if that. Then get something like dolphin or any other any free detect provider and create 3-10 accounts and farm.
You can automate that part if have some basic programmin + vibe coding skills.

It works, but only with lazy people.
I mean, if you are spending $10k per day in ads, you should have someone to hide negative comments, including this type of comment trying to steal your customers.
Sometimes they will delete or hide your comment.
If you manage to find some lazy ecommerce owners who don't care about the comment section, it can work for a while

The Ecom owners who spend $10k per day in advance spend but won't check comments are the bottleneck for this method. If the business is that successful, they'll at least hire a VA to handle these things. You can do surrogate marketing but directly posting competitor links to steal ad revenue is risky.

one simple question that will DESTROY your entire "business model"
1. you need to have those KYC regulated payment methods avaliable to make the entire proceadure?
if the answer is "YES" then fuckyou
if the answer is "NO" then the answer will STILL be BS, since there is no way to sell ANYTHING without regulated payment systems. since 99.9% of people pay ONLY using card or paypal.
so in conclusion.
YOUR METHOD DOESNT WORK.
if i had those regulated payment systems unbanned i will be already a millionaire overnight, instead of living with $1.13 usd a month with CRYPTOCURRENCY, the only REAL money in the internet.

Alright, so this guy's basically found a clever way to "parasite" off competitors' massive ad spending by mimicking their products, offering discounts, and strategically dropping UGC reviews with links in the comments to snag their warm audience – genius hustle, leveraging the power of free exposure and a killer price point!
