Uk accounts, Europe ips

[oompaloompa]

which country ips ranges are ok for UK account log ins

I have logged in and relisted stuff from Spain and Portugal before, no flags...but that could be just holiday allowances by ebay...

who lives permanently or a long period in another euro country and logs in to established UK created accounts....

I am wondering whether an account that has been established and administered from UK ip for years and then suddenly is adminned from say
Spain ip all the time raises flags or not...

experiences please

My experience says no. I have a UK account, and for the last ten months I have been logging in in Serbia and Hungary with no problems. I'm about to create a second account, but I will ensure that I get someone to do that in the UK, as that will most likely raise a few eyebrows.

was this an established UK account, that had UK log ins for years like mine and then suddenly switched??

so you have never used VPN?

Do you use auctiva?

Yep had the account since 2002, didn't use it that much until last year then was selling alot. Moved location in August, no problems with IP.

Haven't used a VPN before or Auctiva

[oompaloompa]

very interesting, thanks....

what kind of ip is it, broadband, mobile , is it a wide ranging ip and is it linked to Serbia/Hungary....

see I would think an account moving ip suddenly would cause flags, eg it was hijacked or something...

[sax4]

Well I use a number of different connections, usually leeching of my neighbour's unsecured network in Serbia. I also log in to PP and EBay at friend's houses, net cafes, etc with no problems.

I have had some limitations since then, a few RXI033 and RXI052, they said they had reason to believe someone has used my account fraudently blah blah. As I recall I just had to change my password.

[oompaloompa]

I think I have deduced the key factor on this - cookies
if cookies stay the same and arent deleted, it should help with ip changed not getting flagged.

[patojen]

Yes flash and normal cookies are more important than ip's . I had a turkish e bay and used it 6 months on italy and no flagged.

[santa1]

I'm log in to my UK accounts from Lithuania and no problem what so ever flash and normal cookies importan only if you going to list or edit your listings if just used to replay to messages is fine without any cookies.

But Paypal is a whole different story

[lenkee]

I had the same problem last year,I put it down to inexperience at the time.I had no prooblems logging into ebay with Thai IP on UK account but after so many paypal withdrawals to UK bank from Thai IP I got limited.They said it is because it is not allowed to log into paypal from a different country too much.Anyway what is the best way round this?I wnt to open new stealth for the UK but not sure how to get around the logging into paypal bit.Any help much appreciated.Thanks.

It's pretty easy to get round this, you use a VPS. I have used VPN before, but my account got limited pretty quickly.

You can do most Ebay stuff through Auctiva, for the rest use VPS

The problem with VPS is if it does go wrong it will go very wrong. You could do your Ebay work through Auctiva and your Paypal work through a UK dial up from Thailand. Alternatively use a trading assistant that you can trust to do the work for you. They are out there - just hard to find LOL

I have been using my UK based ebay and paypal in Pakistan from last one and half year and selling stuff about 3000 BP every month, i got issue in the beginning and paypal requested me every bit of information for verification, like company tax registration, Driving license, supplier invoice, etc etc

but after that did not get any issue.

Same thing with me, i am using my UK acount every day, loging in from Bulgaria. At one point they asked me for Id's and other stuff, which i gave them and had no problem ever since.
