Setting up New PayPal at work

nlikens · #1 12-01-2010

OK. So I bought a New Ebay and PayPal for me to use at work, this will help me with the NEW IP and I have all the new info. (Bank, email, etc) but I realized that I have been logging into my suspended from ebay-paypal account here at work from my machine. So now I'm scared to log on to my new PAYPAL (My new ebay is safe because Ive never logged in to any ebay account here at work) here at work. BUT the catch is that we have 100 plus in one building on using the same IP. (I checked two floors and they are on the same IP, we have six floors)

So I shouldn't have anything to worry about right?

What about PAYPAL dropping cookies directly on my MACHINE? will that get me linked / caught?

Why? If you have been using that IP on a banned account you have lots to worry about. You cant use it. I dont see how 100 people using that IP helps you

Dont do it.

Ok. But I'm only banned from Ebay. BUT the paypal account I was logging into is active/fine but is linked to the banned ebay account.

I have never logged into to ANY ebay account from this machine.

the reason I was thinking it would be ok becuase there are so many people using this same IP address (over 100) so Im assuming someone else has logged onto there paypal from here as well......

you think its too risky?

Thanks for the heads up. I don't want to lose a good ebay and paypal account. But that puts a damper on my plans. I wanted to use this IP address to avoid having to start and restart at home where I already have an active account going. The idea was to have accounts from different locations.

Plus I wanted the ability to do my ebay from work...I guess the only other option is to bring in a laptop? I cant create new users on my CPU here at work.

Then I guess to avoid getting on this IP I have to tether from my phone to get a DIFF IP?

This sucks!

Any advice would be appreciated.

Keep that in mind. Always

Your work IP is pretty bad. You have used it and god knows who else. Tons to be sure. If it was real info no big deal. Call and say you at work and supply info. Not so good with stealth...

Tethering is one way for sure
