Creating multiple Ebay accounts
 

I know When creating multiple stealth accounts it's neccessary to have different ip addresses. So right now I have two dedicated IP. one with 24c and one with ipburger. If i want to make more accounts is this the most effective way? or is there something more cost effective right now. My goal is to be warming up 5 accounts. The first two are going strong. So im confident i can do 3 more as back up. Can i make these using 4G from my phone? if so can i only make one account per 4G phone connection? or since its a cell tower can i make multiple accounts?

I think it’s best to stick with one IP per account to avoid getting linked and suspension. Might be costly buying more IPs but its worth keeping all accounts alive that way.

You can make them using your mobile data / 4G, but just make sure you change IP before making new account or accessing another account.

VPNs like 24vc and IPBurger can come in handy when you're running those accounts at the same time. Using VMware you can run all of them simultaneously, which is a huge perk when you expand.

The dedicated VPNs simplify matters and take that factor out of the equation.
If you don't want to have to worry about ip addresses being an issue then continue the way youre doing things. If money is such an issue then you can use a MiFi device as 'Play' mentioned above.

Phone tethering. Easiest thing ever

I don't recommend it, but I have never been linked by IP. Even when using the same IP on multiple accounts for months.

Just my experience.

So when doing this, with the 4G mobile data I would have to keep track of the IP's to make sure that it isn't an IP I used for another account?

What if I create it with one IP but then when I log in again its from another IP that hasnt been used. Is that bad? Do you have to always have to access the accounts from the same exact IP?

Yeah I can see how this is. Because I was running 2 accounts and when one got banned the other was banned too because they linked it from other factors(same items being sold, similar descriptions) . BUT a relative of mine in the same household, on the same IP didn't get touched. They aren't selling the same things. I asked the rep on the phone about it and they said it's because IP is not the only thing to show linkage. So my relative still selling on ebay free and clear even though my 2 accounts got indefinitely suspended.

When you phone tether, then you have to make sure it's the same IP everytime you log in to each account? Or it doesn't matter?

Re: Creating multiple Ebay accounts
 

Different IPs are fine. This is normal. Most people have dynamic IPs that change.

For the eBay accounts I run without a VPN, they've had a different IP login to them every single time since I keep track of the IPs and don't use it again.

I change the mac address on my router, which gives me a new IP from my modem. I'm not sure why anyone bothers to do it any other way.

Doesn't matter that you are using more than 1 IP for an account, as long as you aren't using an IP for more than one account
