Linked?

[Swizzle]

Was going to sign into stealth account and when I opened ebay, I think It was In my firefox browser, it autofilled login info from a banned account. I went and checked to see if I was on the right computer user for my stealth and I was. So why would it autofill for that account, I never have signed on to that banned account on my new user account before.

1. Are you the only person that uses the computer?
2. Are you 100% sure no one or you went into the User Account and logged into the wrong Ebay?

Yes I'm the only person who uses this computer. As far as being 100% sure, I'm not. What is crazy about the whole thing was it was my firefox browser which I am sure that I didn't set up, because once I seen that my old account details popped up I closed the browser, then I reopened it. Then it asked me to set it the browser, as if it was the first time I opened it, which it was. You know how it is when you create a new user account on your comp and you open up your browser and it starts setting itself up and asks if you want to make it your primary browser. IT did that. ????

Then I went to ebay and typed in the first letter of the account username into the login to see if it would pop up again, but it didn't. Then I did the same for chrome and internet explorer and neither one popped up with the login info from the banned account.

I'm actually am 100% sure I didn't sign into the account on this profile.

Just listed an item for the first time and everything went fine so we will see

It wouldn't autofill between useraccounts so you must have been logged in as the wrong user account at one point. I would be very careful and might even start fresh from a new user account to build new cookies

Probably your cookies and stuff went onto your other firefox.no idea though.

I have had this happen before.

It sounds like you may have accidentally logged into that account on that browser. This happens from time to time for me, although very rarely. It is not usually something to worry about unless it is repeated often.

Although, do understand that one mistake like that can cause a link. Try making a custom background for that user account with your ebay username imposed over it. Works for me to help remember which stealth is which back in the day... now I just use VMWare and don't have to worry ever.

If you expand check out VMWare, a very useful tool for managing stealths. Good luck!

Kep us posted - hope all works fine

Yeah, I manually filled in the login info once from a different account.

Sometimes you just screw up, no matter how careful you are.

I'm not clear how your autofill moved from one account into another, that shouldn't be possible.

I wiped both user accounts and started new ones, and red-flagged all the ip's associated with both the accounts as being possibly linked.

They were eventually shut down as being 'possibly related', but it took about two years.

I'd go ahead and develop backups.
