I believe it has to be the IP too. I have had a couple to a few numbers off rom my original IP and ALL has been fine in the past, but go to far out of "their" comfort zone and you'll get flagged.
Anytime I take vacation, I always make sure 2 weeks in advance that ALL ebay/paypal business is taken care of and will NEVER log-in to ebay/paypal no matter where I am. I take my Netbook, for all other purposes and sites and business, but NEVER have logged into ebay/paypal simply because of such a scattered IP change.
Take no chances once you've gone stealth.
Good Luck!

A few years ago I remember logging in to PayPal at a relative's house and they locked my account shortly after. I had to call to confirm someone didn't steal my account since they geo-locate your IP and if it is too far from where you normally log in they lock your account for "security". A phone call got it unlocked, but I would avoid anything that causes any attention to my PayPal account. |
