FeeBay Balling · 07-31-2007, 06:23 PM

OK Boys and Girls here are some busted cookies for you....

These cookies are what is getting loaded onto your computer when you access ebay.
Listed below will where it comes from, when it comes and what it can/might collect based on that sites privacy policies.

Cookie Name: dp1 (good name I think.. Double Penetrated One... Ebays way of sticking it you)
This cookie loads when you access ebay, just going to the site.
It is on their homepage and comes from statcounter.com
The information it collects is:
IP Address, Domain Name referrer, browser typoe and/or operating system

Why is it collected: Information that is based upon a unique identifier but that cannot be linked to an individual may be used for research, analsysis and reporting.

Who has access to that info: NOT YOU! The website (ebay) that pays for the service.

More info go to statcounter

Another one that loads when you enter is from right media which basically is a geotargeter for ads and crap.

AS I get more info I will pass it along... See Ya

hi everyone:
i did some test about the AOL and the IP addresses that gives:
i am using my ISP to get connection. every time i switch the box on and off it is a new IP.
for every IP from my ISP, i check the IP from AOL it is a new IP different from my ISP .
but the problem is the AOL give me only 3 IP's of them. i tried with the same AOL user every sessions and also with different AOL users.with different IP from my ISP.

anyone can confirm this ? or have some suggestions?
i forgot i tested from 2 different locations :same results

thx

IP addresses seem to be a problem with ebay linking accounts.

Does anyone have any experiences in logging in to ebay at wi fi hotspots (like a Starbucks,etc). They would definitely have a different IP.

What would happen if someone else using that wi fi signal got booted?

MY question is has anyone legitimately gotten "associated" with a suspended account by using a wi fi or other public signal?

I know it is hard to tell, because ebay never "fully" explains why you are being suspended, associated, etc. so you don't have all of the information that you need to be re-instated.

With the ever-emerging presence of these "hot spots" I was just wondering if this is a viable alternative. There is talk of entire cities (where I live already has entire neighborhoods) going wi fi. Is ebay going to ban everyone in a neighborhood or city from being registered because someone else was selling fake LV purses?

**aspkin** · 08-16-2007, 09:51 AM

I don't think so DogFacedBoy. When it comes to this, eBay can't go by IP alone. They'll have to use your cookies and personal information to decide if they want to suspend you.

DogFacedBoy · 08-16-2007, 10:08 AM

Just saw you address this issue on another thread.

**aspkin** · 08-16-2007, 10:18 AM

Probably, there are a lot of repeats out there; it's all a blur for me.

Chris Hanson · 08-16-2007, 01:43 PM

Your walking a thin line not paying taxes there

And also your not being to smart! your using your EBay user name as the same name in here?? Are you nuts? LOL better change your name and all other info in here quick. Ebay probably does read in here.

And your also stating you don't pay taxes? Geez. Your asking for it. Becareful and change your user name and all other info in here that can give you away. This forum is not a secret!

I don't see anything wrong with any of this, but will defer commenting because I just changed into my red sweatsuit and am going for a jog around the bull ring

Gosh! Pay your taxes!!! How can you sleep at night worrying about uncle SAM? Just take sometime and straighten the taxes out with the IRS. Get yourself an accountant, you'll feel so much better when it's all straighten out. There ia always a lesson to be learned from all of our experiences.

Hello,

This is what has been working for me; perhaps all of these steps are not necessary:

1. Disconnect the modem FOR SEVERAL HOURS. Disconnect the cable, power and firewire line.

2. Pull up network in your System Prefrences under TCP/IP, write down the current IP address, change form "Using DHCP" to "Using DHCP with manual address" Change the last number to something else, click "Apply Now."

3. Re-hook up modem, push reset button on the modem (large off/on button).

4. Change Network back to "Using DHCP" click "Renew DHCP Lease" and then "Apply Now". Check to see if the ip address has changed.

This seems to work about 70% of the time for me. Sometimes the IP address comes up the same. Someone let me know if one of these steps is not necessary.

spike1 · 08-20-2007, 11:56 AM

i have been having a problem getting my isp to change my ip address. one thing i noted today was when i checked the one on my laptop, which is on a wireless router the ip address was much different. will that work? this hole time i have been concentrating on the ip address on my main computer. seems like the ip on the laptop would be the same or somehow linked to the other ip address. any info?

p.s.

how can i check the avs on a new ccard?

pauljrog · 08-20-2007, 02:31 PM

Hi, you need to start Internet explorer, then log into your router page, (example NETGEAR Support Home Page)
Then go in the settings and change the router internet port MAC address last digit up or down by one value.
Then update the change and log out and close the webpage.
Then switch off the computer, modem and router.
Then restart the modem - router then computer.
You should be connected on the web with a new IP address.

DogFacedBoy · 08-20-2007, 03:54 PM

I'm a little confused.
Isn't the IP address set by the modem? And then perhaps if you use a router it is set by that?
If either of these statements are true how could you have a different IP on the laptop from the one on the main computer?

It is odd, but at my house I get a different IP based on the network card, not the cable modem. So if I use my router I get one IP. If I use my ethernet port on my desktop I get a different one. And if I use the ethernet port on my laptop I get a totally different IP. I can't really explain it, but it does work.

Maybe it resets each time you connect in a different way.

A router uses the same IP address for every computer connected to it. A router basically splits the Ip address to be shared.

I thought that too. Except the IP always stays the same for each network card. It only changes if I don't use that network card for a few days. My new Ebay account has kept the same IP since I created it over 3 weeks ago. I unplug it every day and plug i my router so my wife can use her laptop. She has her own IP and I have mine. The other 4 ethernet ports in the house all have their own IP too (when plugged in). And not the 192.168, but the real thing. It defies logic.

spike1 · 08-21-2007, 08:31 AM

it's really strange. what ever i try to do to the main computer the ip stays the same. on the laptop though it is totally different. none of the numbers match or are even similar. i hope it works and i will be able to use the laptop for ebaying. my isp will not change my ip address and early cancellation is going to cost $300! darn dirty satellite isp mo fo's

aaa1 · 08-21-2007, 12:45 PM

My laptop ip # is different than my ip for the my internet. My understanding is that the IP that others see is the IP of your cable box. The IP of the wireless is basically so that a local server can identify my computer. In other words, if you are messing around, your boss can tell which computer it came from.

when i go to, for example, aspkin's ip website IP Burger - What is my IP Address? Find Your IP Address!, i run the test on my home computer and i get one ip address. i then go to my laptop do the same thing, and i get a totally different ip address. as far as i know the ip that shows up at that website is the one other's (ebay) see, right?

Ouch! I used to have a job where I had to convince people from canceling their satellite ISP, the cancellation fee was usually the keeper. But then again there's that 100+ monthly fee. I was able to switch a lot of people to DSL and Cable though. Satellite services are nothing compared to Cable.
