Ip Address Amazon
 

Hello All , I turn my router to get a new ip adress and track them with an excel spreadsheet, but sometimes it changes apart from the last three or two numbers which sometimes remain the same as the previous address.
So for example I can get : 192.99.99.123

Then I reset and end up with : 192.99.99.293

And only the last three numbers have changed is this risky and can this cause linking between stealth accounts?

Thanks

No, this will not cause any risk and you are fine.

You need at least one digit to be different from your previous IP and this will be perfectly fine.

Keep track of all the IPs you are using for each account and try not cross use them between accounts.

Alright Thats Great To hear

Thanks for the response

Re: Ip Address Amazon
 

You will be OK, just don't switch your router off now, keep this IP, just like a static one. Keep a note of the Ip's

Re: Ip Address Amazon
 

A trick to keep the IP static like Micky suggests is to keep the same MAC address associated to the same user account.

For example...

Account A
MAC: AB:CD:EF:05
IP: 192.99.99.123


Account B
MAC: AB:CD:EF:10
IP: 192.99.99.223


Account C
MAC: AB:CD:EF:15
IP: 192.99.99.323



If you retain the same MAC addy's with the same user accounts, you can go months without getting a new IP address from your ISP. This all of course, depends on your ISP's lease time.

A really good thread with this strategy

its the best way to change ips between account and have the designated seperate ip each time for every account

Re: Ip Address Amazon
 

Thanks for all the advice

unluckily for me , even when I change mac address I still always get a random IP address.....

Re: Ip Address Amazon
 

Anything else I could do to keep the same ip adress?

Re: Ip Address Amazon
 

What ISP & what gear are you using at present?

Let us know this, please.

:peace:

Hi,

Im using Netgear DGN2200 wireless router

and my internet service provider is Talktalk

Re: Ip Address Amazon
 

TalkTalk has a limited pool of IPs.

Maybe consider another dongle if you are running multiple stealth amazon accounts?

:peace:

Re: Ip Address Amazon
 

You mean like a usb dongle ?

And what providers are recommended ?

Thanks

Re: Ip Address Amazon
 

Ahh also made a small mistake just now , after using stealth acc1 I forgot to reset my ip before using stealth acc 2 , but when I went amazon.de instantly saw that I was still signed in and exited the page, didn't get on the seller central page, is it possible I will be linked ?

Worried now....

Re: Ip Address Amazon
 

Yes you are now linked. It may take a week or a couple of months but they will get you for linking accounts. I did the same thing and it took them 2 months before they flagged me for the linked accounts.

Re: Ip Address Amazon
 

Have to be careful.

Routine will eventually set in and you will just do it all naturally.

Double check everything you do for the first few months until it becomes habit.

Re: Ip Address Amazon
 

So let me get this straight so as long as my MAC address's are all different from each account and my ip changes say just the last set of numbers it would be looked upon as a new seller no linking ? Correct . But I have to make sure that the MAC Address for all accounts do not change

Re: Ip Address Amazon
 

Forgot does this also stand for eBay make sure diff MAC addresses for each account

Re: Ip Address Amazon
 

One time is unlikely to cause issue - but do not repeat.

Re: Ip Address Amazon
 

Yes I hope so , keeping it all totally separate now , different mobile networks for each account and I will just tether from my phone this way I have no problems

Re: Ip Address Amazon
 

It usually takes about 30 secs to register your IP
