If you use Window's build in System Restore, then no. That will only roll back software changes and will not wipe cookies and whatnot.

Amazon links to your mac address - cookies, flash cookies, etc. then when you create the account and start selling your items... if you use the same photos from the same location on your computer, they even link you that way.
and that's just to start...

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2 | If your account is important to you, my viewpoint is a dedicated laptop per account. On this laptop, nothing, I mean NOTHING is allowed on it except for ebay, etc. This allows cookies, etc, without worries.
I use another laptop for banking, etc. On dedicated laptop, I don't have to worry about opening emails from ebay, switching IP, as that also is dedicated. For me, this really is the only solution.

I got me a new tablet, new name, address, bank info, pre-paid cc, pre-paid cell phone, etc.
If you don't completely start all over, you will get linked! guaranteed! |

This is exactly what I have done, my laptop/tablet is dedicated to amazon only, nothing else. I never let it get on the internet at my house, I had to get me an office & move my business there, it is costing me 500.00 extra a month, but beats the alternative.
Slip up one time, and you've lost another account... It is too hard to get another account and keep it. I don't take the chance! |

I don't take the chance! | that is my next major project, renting office space for 2 more accounts, each with everything dedicated, including phone lines. It is a bit of money, but tax deductible. This is my main income, & I'm dead serious about it.

What's the point of wasting money and buy new hardware just for new accounts? There are limits on what eBAy/Amazon can see anyways and a virtual machine is more than enough for these purposes.

But if you got it like that, then go buy another computer!
I think people go this route because:
A. They are too scared that they might slip up and make one wrong move, then BOOM that is it....suspended.
B. It is easier to manage different accounts with different computers. You can label the outside of the computer Ebay, Amazon, etc.
C. Remeber, not everybody is as tech savvy as you are! They probably don't know how or don't want to learn how to make a virtual machine. Also, don't forget that you do have to purchase an authentic key for the OS that you are using |

You don't nessearily need to buy another authentication key as there are plenty of alternatives to work around it, even if you don't want to use a third party program to activate Windows. OS X and Linux does not need activation at all for a start.

Thanks! | No difference, use a VM instead. It's mentioned everywhere on the forum and Amazon Ghost that VMs are the best solution for Amazon in general.

A new netbook will give you a 100% clean and unused computer for creating a new account, but if the products your selling will lead to a suspension than it is not worth it.
