Hi yeah i never had no problem in the past begin linked by ebay but now it seems they find me no matter what! My problem is not that i cant make a account but i can make a bidders account but i cant freaking bid w/o adding a credit card >:( Heres what i have did to try to solve the problem with them linking me.

1. i formatted my pc instealled a freash copy of vista
2. i use dial up internets from other citys and states so i have a new ip
3. i use firefox and clear out all my cookies and history

But yet when i make a new account i cant bid w/o adding a cc! but one time i was able to bid just fine while others i cant so there tracking me some way. Have any of you every had this problem before?

well i thought they was requireing every one to need a card but i had a firend over the net to test it out and he can bid just fine and i also tried it on my high speed internet and i could bid as well so i cant figer out why i cant do it useing dial up unless its dialup people who are no required to have a card which if thats the case then that really sucks and i will have to start useing proxys to change my ip

also one time i had to verfiy my phone number in order to put paypal as the opition to sell and i used a online voice mail to get the 4 digit pin which this worked fine in the past but now seems you have to push pound to get the number so how do u guys get around this?

I remember ebay asking me for a credit card one time before I was able to bid on a new account. I think this can be done for a number of different reasons. Maybe it has something to do with you signing in with an IP from another state?

yeah its very odd and i dont think its because of the ip and states cause my m8 who made accounts for me he uses a ip changeing prog and he dose'nt have that problem.

But who knows i may try to get a proxy ip and try it on my highspeed and see what happens

any one here know of a good free ip switching program cause its a PITA to find proxys that work singly
