Yellow Flag? Yeah.. it's something I just made up.. there are red flags and yellow flags.. heck, let's throw in a green flag! A computer system (software algorithms) can flag an account and assess it's risk based on what you do to your account.. that's how it works.

While changing your IP address each time you connect to your account isn't a red flag (yet), I'll consider it a yellow flag and cause for some concern. If at all possible a Static IP address per eBay/PayPal account is PREFERRED. It can be expensive but it's a green flag to your account.. something that shows you're a normal user..

I like this...

Now there are those who change their IP address with every login and they're fine.. that's "yellow flag" for you.

@ Aspkin! If I run my normal ebay account which is under one IPS and use a diff. ISP for stealth account with separate winder user, can it be linked with my current ebay account? Do I still have to keep track of IPs? Your advice/input will be highly appreciated.
