I think this has a lot to do with the thread, assuming the thread discusses the new eBay policy. What I am wondering is perhaps eBay is not going to relate a computer to an account not by ip address or cookies but by a computers serial number. I mention Equinax iSale as it is proof that it is possible for a third party to obtain a computers serial number. Even using a different user account on the computer does not change the serial number. I hope I am dead wrong and it (referencing to a particular computer) will be as said earlier here based on cookies etc...but if I was running eBay I'd be going for the computer serial number (which is obviously very easy to do) pretty hard to get around that other than having a different computer.
It won't be the serial number, most likely just changing users on your PC should suffice, or using Auctiva...but we'll have to wait and see...we can tell more when it starts happening...shouldn't worry too much cause we will find a way around it
Hope you're right, I have been following the advice from you guys here for some time now with no problems so as you say its a matter of wait and see...
Modee is right most of the time; it'll be interesting to see what eBay plans to do next. Anticipation ignites… You guys should probably start hording new eBay accounts before eBay becomes even more radical.
On this tracking question: how does it work that on my laptop I run ccleaner on turning off and on opening - yet I go to this forum and am recognized (don't have to sign in)? Is it the IP address?

If you are referring to my post I was telling someone above that I do not use it. I did atone time but Firefox slowed my computer down to a crawl and I got rid of it.
xxsucks, I found that after I installed firefox everything was faster. As well as hating paypal
I am not so fond of Bill Gates so I try to avoid microsoft & IE.
But I guess we are all different. LOL.

As a companion to the question above:
Using AOL 7, I run ccleaner, then start to type a web address in the www bar of AOL 7, and it auto fills the address. How does this happen if the cookies/beacons are gone and the IP shown is proxy (according to IPBurger.COM)?
Personally, I think eBay should just ban new users when they try and list their second item. Would save them loads of time messing with user cookies, IP's and user agents :D
