Using my friend account
 

Hallo. My friend decided to give me his ebay account for selling (he don’t need it)
Anyway, i want to know how to do it right so that ebay does not restrict this account? Do i need to change the Ip Address or something?

Re: Using my friend account
 

New windows user account (or new totally new pc)
New IP Address

Re: Using my friend account
 

But if ebay will see that IP address is different they can flag his account, am i right?

Re: Using my friend account
 

Yes, that is correct. Very usual security measure.
If he still have the browser cookies - much better if you can export that.
Also, it is normal to change IPs (but not too often), just build cookies/history first in the new computer you are using before listing your items. Say 1 week of building the history is more than enough to prevent the flagging.

Better copy the cookies from your friend browser and use it in yours PC if he was a active seller or not have the phone number active for verify when changing PC for login

Stop everything you are doing and read stealth guide.

Make some accounts for your self with it first to learn, crash, burn and get experience, then you can start using your friend's account once you become proficient.

My last account was suspended. I dont need accounts. One account is enough for me because selling on ebay is just Additional income for me.

Thank you all for answering:)

I think you missed the point he was trying to make, you'll learn in time. I hope you actually learned from your mistakes and know what not to do in the current landscape.

Actually my account was suspended because paypal limit my account twice. And there was lots of lots orders that I couldn’t to shipp because this limitation. So when I finally lift this limitation, its was to late. If not paypal, i think everything was fine now. Its shame because my account was in really good place. Iam also hire VA to help me with all these orders (he didnt login to my ebay account. We used Autods).

Those late orders are still going to affect you even if not your fault
