ebay tracking ip only when logging in (with password) or browsing too?
ok, I havent found a definitive answer to this question:
does ebay track your IP when you are just browsing (such as doing a search for an item from an browser that is logged into an active eBay account)?
here is the scenario: you are in an eB id "abc123", on a specific computer user account for use with this id, and connecting always with IP: 699.999.999 for use this ebay account. this ip is the one you signed up the account with.
then one day, ooops, you opened the browser without checking IP, and you are not aware that you are actually connected with ip 688.888.888 (used to sign up a different eB account).. and you do some browsing on eB,.. the upper left corner shows your username: "abc123". you were never asked to login to eB under this IP 688.888.888 for id" "abc123", does that mean that the 2 eB accounts are linked?
does ebay track this kind of behavior? I guess this question is trying to differentiate between eB IP tracking of LOGGED IN account activity, vs ip tracking of when LOGGING IN to an account. The objective is trying to establish if the former actually exist.
