[getaroundebay]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its an email address!!!

Next, people will be using seperate user accounts for aspkin and ebay!

Although.....if eBay hacked this site and saw all our IP's, I'd be stuffed!

Jinx.

Don't give them any ideas...

The world is not that complicated yet

Re #6: WTF? My post #5 was in reply to #4. What does that have to do with your VeRO or me getting banned?

I'm confused.

Here's my take: right now it is not likely that you will get linked. BUT, and this is what I want you to understand. ebay is 'spreading' itself about. Banners for ebay are appearing on different sites, eg yahoo,gumtree & sites that have a lot of traffic.

So to ensure that 'YOU' keep yourself safe, start making a habit of never ever, never having your stealth account open IF you surf the net. There may be nasties like flash cookies, beacons that could damage your account. There is no reason that you can not train yourself to be careful: it will be your own laziness if you get linked especially if you have taken on board the advise given here.

AND, wth is this about 'signing into an old email associated with a suspended account? Why? Are you taking steps to prevent being linked? Be careful: you are going to make a mistake.

Not necessarily true. Directly, no link. But... some people are jerks and embed crap in their pages. You could get caught by a generic boobie trap. So keep your boobies put away. In other words, do your web browsing separate from your ecommerce and under a general windows login.

Dont be so sure how they link you cos i was linked to my sisters account which made and used her bank address etc....when i changed over i had a new ISP,a new computer etc so need to delete cookies and flash cookies cos it was a brand n ew computer..so how did they link me? the only thing i can think of and when you said life is not that complicated...well i suddenly remembered bloody skpye and then realised i used a banned email for my skype id but surely they are not this methodical...but how else?

'Linking snakes' Too true. With ebay they are everywhere, so it is better to learn NOT to trust them & be careful with web usage

After reading your post, two small things pop into my mind -
1. Have you ever logged in your account from any of your sister's computer(s) before?
2. Did you sister work on any eBay stuffs from your new computer? or used your wireless/network if there is any.

ie
facebook in real name
ebay in stealth

Don't think so, unless Ebay owns Facebook...

[schris142]

if the link is on the ebay website tho wouldnt they know

[MM78]

ok, nevermind I think I read your post wrong....So your having a facebook link IN your Ebay Listing... which is to your Real Name Facebook...

They probably would but not sure on that one.
