virtual machine cookies

MtnDew · #1 11-09-2010

Im creating vm under the same user name on my computer. But do the cookies stay in the virtual machine even though they are under the same user.

Dumb ? probably but just making sure cant find this anywhere.

VM is as if you had bought a new computer so what was on your "old" computer doesn't cross over.

thanks 123 had an account shut down in 30 minutes and not sure where i went wrong...thinking maybe older operating system. i didnt update the browser or update the os at all just went at it. Used newer os on same computer and its fine. spoofed mac diff. ip's. just dont get it. hmmmmmmmmm

Were you selling same items? Similar texting? Time of creation? Amazon can link/block in numerous ways.

Sorry that I can't really comment on use of VMWare - I am operating by caveman-grunge antics ha =(

no...thats the problem its got me wondering if i did it right but one being up im not too concerned im doing it wrong. but you never know :(

So what did you do for the Amazon account that got suspended in 30 minutes?

rsot · #7 11-09-2010

Could possibly be that the ip you selected had already been used/abused? What was the suspension message - link to blocked account?

Check your message - maybe, just maybe, all you're missing is a bank account...Amazon sometimes suspends accounts until you add a working bank account

I've had no problems with using VMware. I installed a completely diff version of windows (went from XP -> 7) and i was spoofing my MAC address on the VM, but then I got lazy and stopped doing it and still no problems. I tether for internet so my IP is never a concern. I just got my first deposit well on its way with no problem, so maybe it was something else. I'm also pretty sure I haven't cleaned the flash cookies off my normal OS from when I got suspended. I know that before when I did this, I used a completely different bank but with my regular name and as soon as I added the bank account it got banned. Also maybe you picked a name that someone previously had gotten banned with a similar one. No clue, usually the more time it takes the more obscure it is. I would guess maybe it was an IP range thing

So amazon found out it was you because you have a bank account in your real name? I thought they couldnt see anything other then account numbers?

Looks like it may be changing...

Its against privacy law for amazon to see what name is on the bank account so no that wasn't the reason.
