2 eBay/PP accounts on 2 different browsers without clearing cookies?
 

So right now all I have and need are 2 eBay/PP accounts, 1 of them stealth. If I am changing my IP, can I log into them separately, one on firefox and one on IE without clearing cookies every time?

Obviously I would be changing my IP before logging into each one, and not trying to use both at the same time, just something to keep me from having to clear cookies all the time.

Seperate Windows user accounts would be the best way to manage the cookie situation.

So even if you use Firefox in 2 or more different Windows user accounts, the cookies stay separate?

Yep that is so :)

Cool, good to know! Thanks

But it might be possible that IE and Firefox could share cookies or whatever within the same Windows user accounts?

It's not just the browser cookies you have to worry about.... there is also java/flash. So it is likely that even using different browsers for your accounts information is going to be shared.

CaptainJack.

Listen to the advise you are seeking.
It has been given MANY times on this forum.

RUN SEPARATE COMPUTER USER ACCOUNTS FOR EACH SET OF EBAY/PAYAL ACCOUNTS

I did listen to and thank the advice given, but it was not what I was seeking. My question was not about using separate accounts, but was simply "do IE and Firefox share cookies?". My question was not the same so search results yielded nothing.

No need to get rude...

If I'm not mistaken, IE and firefox store cookies in different locations. While they both use the flash cookies from the same location.

To do this right, use firefox with proper add-ons (all listed in forum) that way you'll save yourself future headaches.

And yes, seperate windows logins as well, as stated above.

Spend time searching forum, it truly is all here

Amen. Safe and sure (and simple too- as in separate windows accounts) has proven to be the way to go- You'll do better to trust the established Stealth rules than to challenge and test them. If you don't realize that now, in time you will.

Why would u want to risk it? Like it's not hard to make a new user account and reinstall browsers and stuff. Why would u even risk it? That's just plain lazy!

eBay and PayPal have something called canvas fingerprinting. PayPal has been rumored to read your hdd serial but I think that's bogus. Each user account is like a new computer Ina way. You store files and flash cookies. Do you ever notice how you get google ads and Skype ads of stuff from eBay or Amazon that you googled that wasn't part of eBay? That's due to finger printing

As long as the IP addresses are independant of each other everytime you log in and you are using different profiles then leave the cookies to build on each account - they cant be linked accounts and ebay likes to see good history by use of these cookies. - its all in the stealth guide.
