So if I do this will I be ok?

[ebaystefi]

I am going to make a new account, if I do all of this will I be ok???

New ISP
New Computer
New Credit Card
New Address (PO Box)
New Phone #
Use different name
Use Paymate instead of Paypal


any other suggestions that I need to do....will this be enough, will I be ok???

[ebaystefi]

Oh and I forgot new email....

So how will I go about paying my ebay fees though, that is one question I have? I guess I can just mail a money order, even though that will suck!

Pretty extreme if I may say so.

As long as your current ISP can change IP addresses it's fine. You don't need a new computer, user accounts are your friend. Why a new credit card? Get a prepaid card. A new address, okay. PO Box, not the best option but okay. I hope that's a VOIP phone number. Sure a 'new' name. And okay Paymate, there are again better options but okay.

Ah, and a new email. To be specific use Gmail as suggested in eBay Stealth.

You can pay your eBay fees using a prepaid card.

etc.. *crazy face

Lol thanks I just don't want any problems. I don't want to get linked so if it takes extreme, then fine. But we are getting a new ISP ANYWAY so that's a plus, and I just got a new computer It was time for an upgrade.

A pre-paid card is what I meant... PO Box is what I used for years on ebay so hopefully that's ok....we are changing one of our cell #'s anyway since we are getting too many calls from the previous person who had our #...Paymate I thought would work good since I heard they are going to be accepted come Feb. on ebay. So what other options do I have for payments. I don't want to use paypal and don't understand how to get merchant accounts set up (though I am willing to learn)... Yes I will use gmail...

Can someone please explain how user accounts are helpful?

If you use user account, you dont have to keep deleting cookies/flash cookies all the time. If you have 2 ebay accounts under 1 user name, then everytime you want to switch between ebay accounts, you must delete all cookies/flash cookies.

If I do go to these extremes could something still go wrong? I don't see how, but if yes what then?.... I mean I am not going to log into any old ebay/paypal accounts and set off red flags.

New ISP
New Computer
New Simon prepaid card
New Address (PO Box)
New Phone #
Use different name
Use Paymate instead of Paypal
New Gmail

do I have it all covered...I do not want to go through all of this work of making a new account and getting linked somehow...

I need a fresh new start, I hope this does it...

I hope lol. I am desperate. Sadly my income from last year was about 25k less because I was not on ebay. I really need to get a fresh start and be on my way. of course I know I have to use common sense along the way

Thanks Johnny...the only thing to remember is to make sure you change your ip address. I think there are a couple people testing out to see if using the same ip will link accounts or not, but as of right now, definitely change it

"PO Box, not the best option but okay."

Why is this? I NEVER used my personal address before and used a PO Box, why would this not be the best option?


"okay Paymate, there are again better options but okay."

What would be a better option?


"You can pay your eBay fees using a prepaid card."

Can you pay your ebay fees with a pre-paid card that does not have your registered name on the card? Or does the card you pay with have to have your registered name?

I haven't looked into this but can you add more money to a pre-paid Simon card each time you need to use it (pay fees)?

TIA~
