OK to answer EB messages through email?

[Lost in the Supermarket]

Well...is it?


If "yes", then is it OK to answer without regard to PC username that is open, and IP address?

Much easier to answer all eb messages at one sitting without changing IP or even user on the PC.

This has been mentioned in a few threads. Yes it's fine to answer through your email. Ebay will only see the server address of the mail server.

So if you're using GMail, they would see one of Google's server IP's and not your own IP.

You should turn off loading external images too for whichever email you are using, even gmail. Once those ebay images load, boom! Ebay got you with their web beacons.

Let's think about it this way, you want to risk it? Then the answer is "yes".

If you are a perfectionist and you don't want to take chances in place of convenience, then the answer is "no".

For me, I like my peace of mind.

I just answer the questions when I'm signed in to that ebay account....lets me see other things and kills a bunch of birds with one sign in.
