I'm experienced with eBay Stealth, but I'm trying to set up for Amazon Ghost. I usually tether from my phone for connection, but obviously that doesn't solve the MAC address issue. Of course there are lots of options here, but are any really better than others? PC Mag even has recommended free ones. Is there a reason that these aren't recommended? http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2403388,00.asp |
The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!

Amazon can't see your Mac Address!
PC Mag isn't into the stealth business, free vpns, proxies, hell even VPS are fine for some anonymous browsing.....not for stealth.

VPS is a perfect solution. I have 20+ accounts running on VPS.
You need to find small-name VPS providers (and even then, you'll need to try your luck). Commonly-used ones have high user churn rates, and their IP bands are already abused and burned.

Wait, Amazon can't see your Mac address? Why does the book go on and on about Mac addresses then?

Don't you think that things have changed since the book was written?

I am reading the guide that costs solid money giving me step by step instructions. It includes free updates, but what you are telling me is that it is totally wrong? What is the point in the guide then? How the do you expect me to know that things have changed? Either way, I would love to know that Amazon can't see your MAC address, but can others confirm this? And why would it spend so much time explaining people how to get around this if it was false?

Just reading the book and trying to learn it, but it's apparently false information. But, you don't think it's an issue?

Cool, elmo. Thanks. I know that eBay & Paypal didn't use it to identify you, but just trying to figure out the internet solution for Amazon. So, cell phone tethering is an option, then? I already have my spreadsheet of IP addresses for eBay and figured I'd just use those entire "identities" for Amazon accounts, too.

in 2014 ebay suspended many of my accounts within 2 months, I opened new accounts again again suspended, until I used mac address changer then everything seems to be OK.i don't know if the problem was mac address , we cant be sure if pp and eb are checking it or not. since you are running a business and paying money for stealth accounts ,use mac address changer and be in safe side.

My recommendation for VPN is IPBurger.
I know that 99.9% of VPN out there are just... bad, so this is what I use personally.

I bought and I used IPBurger 3 months ago but paypal immediately detected me and I was not able to use paypal .I contacted paypal and they told me you are using VPN ,
I did check at this website and its true its showing I am using vpn or proxy. www.whatismyip.com
then check proxy , https://www.whatismyip.com/proxy-check/?iref=home
I downloaded all the vpn option that available on the net ,until I found 1 service that didn't detected me.
you are ALL invited to visit this web check and see BY YOUR SELF THAT TOR OR PROXY DECTECTED WHEN YOU USE IPBurger. www.whatismyip.com https://www.whatismyip.com/proxy-check/?iref=home
I don't trust other websites checkers. only that one.

Most people here that are seasoned use the IPBurger VPN and most of us haven't gotten into any trouble.
Any company will know if you're using a VPN or not, so it's not the VPN that gets you in trouble, but something else. I wish I know what that something else is in your situation.

I use all four when Im testing the VPN's I build.
I could tell you exactly what's wrong with the VPN and what they need to do to fix it if you gave the results from those sites. ie. open ports, bad choice of ports or MTU... anything else can be fixed on your side. ie. dns push, or not tunneling ipv6.
Anything else is a issue with WebRTC,Time zone, or Flash on your end.
Or the slight chance that PP or EB blacklisted the block of IP's yours came from because its a Data Center IP and they had a lot of problems with other IP's in that block.. only way to know that tho is to get banned and hope they tell you why.

Classic case of "little knowledge is a dangerous thing" I mean that in a nice way, though.
You interact with eBay / Paypal via your browser. Your browser does not detect your MAC address.

eBay / Paypal can see that you're using a VPN. It is unlikely that you'd be banned for that.
Most users would have done something that has got PayPal looking at the account in the first. The worst case scenario is that your VPN put a nail in the coffin of an account that had it coming anyway.

Personally i think VPS is the best solution , the VPN is also great , but more expensive , at the end both are depending on how clean is the ip , as all are reassigned , it's nearly impossible to get a new ipv4 .

VP N is not the best, or second best, or even third best option. This site puts profit in front of actual sound advice. So take that for what it is. But this constant plugging of vp n services sold here is beyond annoying. Vpns are getting increasingly dangerous to use with stealth yet it’s pushed here as the greatest thing since sliced bread.

If you have a better solution, why not share it with us? IPburger HAS been working for me personally and a lot of us that recommended it, recommended it because it has worked great. Not because we make a penny from it.
So what are the top 3 methods to use for stealth?

Welp we have internet dongles, you can change your up address on your own internet device, heck vps is better than a vpn. So there’s 3.
Now for poops and giggles. Log into your ipburger vpn then visit this site https://www.ipqualityscore.com/free-...proxy-vpn-test
See what score you get. I’ll bet around 65. Meaning dangerous. Flagged etc. There’s a reason people using vpns have more issues on PayPal/amazon. But nah. Let’s put profit in front of facts.

Okay, that's what I thought....
1. Internet dongles : You have very limited pool of IP and it has a chance to fail.
2. This is taught in the stealth guide, one of the basics that we teach people.
3. VPS? Sure, I like VPS too. Why don't you tell us which VPS is great and safe? And cheaper?
VPN:
1. Cheap
2. FAST
3. You don't have to try to keep trying to get a new IP everytime you refresh specially when you have over 10 accounts.
4. Efficient
You see, I operate over 50 accounts. And I calculated how many hours I've wasted trying to get a new IP at times. With VPN I can log in and out to that Dedicated IP in seconds.
Now another fact I've seen about you and your posts. You like to take people down.
You give people crap advice a lot of times that we the Admins have to delete.
You think negative of a lot of things and you do this because you are reflecting on who you are subconsciously.
Profit in front of facts? I don't make a penny from any of the services nor the guides, and neither do ANY of the members who recommend them. It works for us perfectly and we share it to help others.
So I suggest you stop acting high and mighty and instead be a giving and productive member here.
