IP address changed by itself!
 

So I logged into one of my stealth accounts with a clean IP address. I was sending messages to customers and I realized that it was taking awhile to send one of them. I double checked to see that I was still online with my mobile broadband and I saw that my IP was changed to an IP that I use for my other stealth account. When does Amazon record your IP address? Is it only when you have to login? The only thing I did after it was changed is send a customer a message. It didn't ask me to re-login again. I have been told that they do not track IPs through customer messages so I think I'm OK. I'm getting ready to give them bank info and send in new product I never ever sold on my banned seller account. Am I screwed with my two stealth accounts?

I don't know but I would lay low for a couple weeks just in case.

I'm going to buy either static IPs or another mobile broadband account. The thing that gets me is that the box that says "connect automatically" is unchecked.

Yeah, when that box is unchecked it pops up a list of wifi to choose from. Very strange.

I don't see what help it would be to lay low. Amazon will either link the details or they won't. It's too late to change it now.

Is the IP link only to another stealth acct and not a banned acct?
If you linked to another stealth that is in good standing - I think you are fine.
Only when you link to one that is banned do you really need to worry.
I have run many az accts and logged in using the same IP and have been fine. (not recommended)!!!!

Do you only sell fba?
If so wait a bit before sending product and sell direct just to be safe.
Good luck-
