IP Address

[SGT18]

I have a well-established Bulgarian eBay account, but I am currently residing outside Bulgaria. Is it safe to use this account having in mind that it will be using the IP address of the country where I am residing now? If not, how can I fix this?

[SaiJin]

No, not safe.

contact IPBurger and see if they got a Bulgarian IP for you to use

Is this a stealth account or your own personal and verified account?

[SGT18]

It will be my personal verified account. Unfortunately IP Burger does not provide for Bulgarian IP. Is there any other solution to the problem with the IP?

[rsot]

checked outside the forum for bulgarian IP? google for provider, etc

[ilcarletto]

If it is your personal account, and well established, I would just go with the new country IP.

Lots of eBay users changes countries and relevant IPs.

BTW, are you using same device with cookies and history? That is also a good thing to do.

[SGT18]

Yes, it is the same device with the cookies. I’ll give it a try and lets see what happens…

best of luck SGT18

So if this is the case what I'd do is contact eBay and let them know you're out of the country.

Just like you contact your bank you'll be using a credit card out side

perhaps worth trying with the cookies in place before contacting - contacting eb opens the person up to some...scrutiny potentially

I dpnt think Ebay cares much where you access your Ebay account,people travel and check on their Ebay listings while overseas.
But Paypal cares.

while i generally agree, it's better to be safe than sorry these days

This way of thinking in particular is common sense, but include a variable where where account is not like an account of normal people, and has to stay low radar.
I would personally took measures to secure it.

You maybe able to get a Residential IP address for your country so that it appears you are not out of country.

takes a bit more of search is all, OP

I think you should be ok. What if you relocate? Make sure same cookies, but if the IP is residential it should be ok.
