New amazon account, new computer, old ip

[kramer78]

Ok guys. I have read through many threads. I have read enough and am confused.

I got accepted into a restricted category from a friends computer. I have not signed up for my account yet. I have a new computer, but have used it on my same IP the previous suspended amazon account was on a yr ago. I have never logged into amazon with this new computer. I didnt think I would be back to amazon but now am selling different items.

I am confused with all this mac address and ip changing. I want to be sure this works, so at the end of the day, is it just safer getting a new computer and new ip and starting over? I will use either Clear internet or some other mobile hotspot. This should be ok too, right? I have read threads about the mobile internet changes everytime but might be in another state than I am registered in.

I just want to do it once and do it right. If I have to spend extra, it doesnt matter cause I will make it in a week selling (if all goes well).

Thanks for any help.

If you already have a new computer, all you need to do is use a VPN to change your IP address. I use hidemyass.com and it works like a charm.

That proxy works for you? Wow.

It definitely does, and I have used a lot of different VPNs over the years. This one is very consistent and you can connect to the same IP address every time you log into it.

What stops other people from using the same IP? Sorry for the "dumb" qs but my tech savvy = zero (hence my obsession with dial up) and info is always nice to know =)

Nothing, but I've set up more than a few new Amazon accounts and never got linked to anyone else's account.
