This Forum is About eBay Tracking

**aspkin** · 12-23-2007, 03:42 PM

This forum was created specifically to talk about eBay tracking. EBay tracks you in a number a sophisticated ways. If you have eBay cookies on your machine, and you go to eBay your Ip address will be linked to an account. If you do this for multiple accounts without cleaning your cookies, this will link accounts together. Using the same password on multiple accounts can link you. Using Paypal with multiple accounts can link you. Using unique domain names for image hosting can do it too. EBay tracks you and links your accounts together in many ways. When you know what eBay does to track you, you'll be able to protect your self in the future. Learn more and ask questions on this forum, we'll try to help.

Keep a helpful and relaxed environment please.

Good luck!

HI- Yes, Surprisingly, I have had Ebay track me by using the same Password, on several accts.. I also lost a Paypal acct because of this same reason.

ivegotinfo · 12-24-2007, 03:59 PM

thats why i make my passwords a variation of my log-in name
and store everything in a gigantic exel file.

**aspkin** · 12-24-2007, 07:06 PM

Lol, these are my type of passwords all saved in excel:

aa651c5ea514
fbre654fcea941
a5e4g4d646q
CEW4f546ec5
C54e6aec45ef
Be4654f3qa1f

Just random numbers and letters.

Use Robo form. It saves the passwords for you and automatically fills in your data when you go to a website. It also generate passwords for you.

Does anyone know anything about "web beacons" that ebay uses? I think they use these nasties within their logos(images) within emails from them.

ccleaner all day every day. call me paranoid, but i clean everytime i switch a webpage. i try not to open emails, but when i have 20 questions on an item, it gets kind of tempting, any suggestions to get around the tracking?

ebayisanecessaryevil · 12-31-2007, 04:44 PM

I download my aol email into outlook express, and view everything from ebay using "view message source"

I lost half my names the beginning of Dec due to beacons and opening email. Since using this to view my email, it's been smooth everr since.

Hi, I have 2 questions regarding tracking:

1. If I sign up a new PP with fake info, and a new email account that's dedicated to use with this new PP and new EB account... can I read my email on the same computer that I read my real email account?

2. Can I still use my old PP on the same computer without being tracked? The PP account was never limited / suspended. But it was linked to my suspended EB account.

Thanks in advance.

I would not risk doing that. You could/can make a mistake and sign in with
old password account etc.
As for question 2, see answer above. Do not give ebay or paypal ANY trail.

I would love to do that. AOL email is a real pain.

Could you explain how to do that and could you just use Outlook Express and set up your AOL email in it?

koalawash · 02-19-2008, 09:39 PM

Just use Gmail and images are disabled by default.

loveandhate · 03-14-2008, 02:26 PM
