Re: How does ebay check a geographical location of an IP
Matching country is good enough, I can assure anyone in doubt.
I run an account based in Georgia with a South Carolina IP.
I run an account based in Louisiana with a Nevada IP.
And I run an account based in California with a New York IP.
All the IP's are from 24vc. All 3 accounts have been thriving for 2+ years and have 10k+ feedback.
@Binary, trace route is pretty much irrelevant in regards to IP geolocation. You would still have to look up the approximate IP geolocation for any end nodes you discover.
@slokor, they don't have any special "methodology" for IP geolocation. Countries are assigned IP blocks and EB/PP's systems automatically detect when an account is accessed from the wrong country. Simple as that.
