Need some knowledgeable advice

OK... Banned off etsy.
Friend opened account for me.
New credentials / new everything
Plan to run off fresh dedicated server so ip and machine are fresh as well.
I've seen a lot of mentions about pics (which I can remake without problem).
Do I need to do them on the server? Or can I make them on my reg comp and upload to server for product listings?
Or do they not track the machine the display pics are made on?
Anything I'm missing?

Just take your pictures, and run your images through a image data stripper....and upload your images like normal.

I have a similar question. I use photoshop to finish my photos which is installed to my computer (which I can't use for a new shop). I'm planning to get a new laptop to use it only for my stealth shop, do I have to install photoshop there too? Or can I use my old pc to make the photos and then just transfer them with a usb stick or something to my laptop after cleaning them?

You can use Photoshop off your old PC, there is no need to install it on another PC.

So... If there is no need to run the photos on a new system... What exactly is being tracked? Sorry for the newb question and thanks on advance.

When you take a picture, there is information stored on that image. All you need to do is wipe that information off the images, that's it.....you can do it on ANY computer.....does not require a new computer.

That's a relief! Thank you for your quick answer!
I had in mind of just formatting my pc and not buy another one, but I read somewhere, that the CPU serial is also tracked. Is that true?

No, that's not even remotely possible....also, from now on.....stop reading things off other places, lol.....lot of weird, false information gets put out there and most are bullsh*t.

Hahaha! You are right!
Well, when my shop got suspended, I had no idea that it was so difficult to open a new one. I thought about new name, new address, new bank account or new paypal account. But I was surprised to hear about changing IP! (To be honest, I don't know exactly how all these works, so there are all new to me!). Then I heard about not using the same photos and not even the same camera and I was even more surprised! I couldn't imagine how that would be a problem, as there are hundreds of people using the same model! So, imagine how surprised I was when I heard about CPU!
So, I'm gonna use my husband's name, another address (most possible a P.O. box), another bank account, a prepaid gift card, new photos, VPN, and change names of the products. If I format my pc, would that be enough? Or should I buy a new one? Also, if I use another bank account which is in my name, would that be a problem? Do they check bank account names with suspended names? Or should I use an account which is only my husband name? I have the same question for paypal also, because I'll open a new one but I'll prefer to use my real name like the one I already have.
So sorry for the long post but I have only one chance and I must be sure that I'll do everything right! Or else, I should find then a new husband!
