Hiya,

Do you actually mean 'stealth'? Stealth mode is vid games talk, isn't it? Forgive my ignorance if I've got this arse-backwards...

Stealth mode means you have to know the exact url for the product/person you're looking for (you may be able to search for them but not 100% sure)

From the SR Seller's Guide:

Stealth mode allows you to run your business out of view of the general public. Whether your sales are growing faster than you can expand your infrustructure to keep up, or you just don't want to be in the public eye any more and are happy with the size of your current customer base, stealth mode might by the solution for you. When activated, your listings will no longer appear in public searches, category views, or any pages linked to from the public site. However, your user and item pages will still be available when accessed directly, so your regular customers can still make purchases from you. You may activate stealth mode from your settings page. Note: It can take up to an hour for your listings to go stealth because of caching.

Basically means that vendor's listings are only available to selected customers
