Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

But why even take a chance? IP can be found by email sent. Amazon may not use it now in their database, but implement it in the future

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

Chance of what? What are you chancing?
You are wrong about how gmail works. How many years of proof does one need that it is safe? How many facts?

With this mentality, you better not use a VPN or a VPS or VM or tracphone. Why chance it?.....

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

Your comparing apples to oranges. Can an IP address be tracked through Gmail?

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

No and No.

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

OK, my bad then to your second no. lol

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

Yankee, I think what Kelly means is, can you find an IP from an email exchange between sender and recipient, the answer to that is actually yes. This information is usually contained within an emails headers.

Kelly does have a point. If Amazon want to go the extra mile, they could 'easily' implement such feature which picks up the IP of email exchanges.

For whatever reason, ebay nor Amazon seem to have implemented this feature as of yet.

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

Interesting.

Everything I have read on this forum pretty much says that images and email itself will show from Google with gmail.

I guess we will know shortly with our little test.

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

PM'd you buddy. Fingers crossed. Hope your right in saying GMAIL wont reveal this. ...eeeek

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

a little over 3000 miles off LOL

Gmail does not show IP from users.

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

Alright so me and Yankee did a quick test, GMAIL does actually conceal the senders IP which is fab for stealth users.

Be wary though, there are other providers who don't.

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

Gmail also hosts all images so beacons stop at google but I still turn images off when I create a new gmail. :)

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

I just did another test, so an example of an email provider who wont conceal your IP would be mail.com.

Like I said before, though this feature is not implemented by ebay nor amazon, doesn't mean to say they wont in the future, and it is very easy to pick up your location (pretty precise) + IP just from sending out an email. They could easily setup a system that vets the emails and keeps tabs on them.

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

Can you imagine if there was no gmail around, people would be running around like headless chickens trying to find the next email provider 'safe for use on ebay' - like they are doing with VCCs on Amazon :lol:

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

Disable images and beacons does the trick apparently. IP is irrelevant for the purpose of replying via e-mail

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

Gmail has for a while now routed emails through their own servers.

Most email companies have started to do the same thing in the last 12 months.

So long as you reply for the correct email account then you can reply to both Amazon and eBay messages directly though gmail.

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

Good point James!

What you CAN NOT DO is forward all emails to a master email account and reply from that one. You will get a message saying that it is the wrong account and asking you to log in.

You must reply from the email account itself.

Re: Replying to Amazon messages via GMAIL?
 

Key point, James' !

Users need to be paying attention to what activity they are do.

Or have to smash the laptop/PC in fright.
