MAC Address on Pay as you go dongles?

[Dude]

Just wondering, do we need to worry about the MAC address on the pay as you go dongle? I know when you disconnect and reconnect you get a new ip each time, but surly your mac id always remains the same?
Is this something to be worried about? I am running 2 accounts on 2 different windows account so all the cache and cookies are separate.

I think so with amazon. I use a cellular card in the USA, with no problems on ebay, but amazon doesn't like it much.

Thanks FE, I guess my question is if I use 1 dongle on 2 account, 1 gets messed up will they ever know that the 2nd account is used with the same dongle?

No. Shouldn't have a problem with ebay or paypal. Just make sure you change the ip every time between the accounts. Keep a log.

Provided your only using a web browser and no other proprietary software, eBay, PayPal or any other website cannot detect your MAC.

I am using a signal booster provided by vodafone called Suresignal, this is connected to my router, you don't think anything can be traced this way do you?

could be the items you are listing i belive they have a ratio that will get you flagged . IE if around55% of your listings are the same as they were on a blocked account then you will get flagged .. try listing some new items

Well, It depends on the Dongle brand, most of them change the MAC address every time you connect it to the USB, the Best is Huawei E1550

I am 100% sure Ebay can't see your MAC it is impossible, neither amazon. There are more advanced ways amazon uses to track your PC. It was a post on forum about tracking methods, even a link to a website which shows what exactly in your PC shows your identity. I use my mobile as a dongle with same MAC and I run over 20 accounts. Never had a problem. I just keep a log of IP addresses. I don't think IP alone will link you either! It is more about cookies and flash objects I believe rather than just IP.

there is an exec on forum that is tech expert and says a seeing mac is impossible too...

but you can change the dongle mac/brand with a changer software though...
