Checking your other Stealth listings?
 

Is it a good or bad idea to browse my stealth listings from my main ebay account? could ebay trace that in anyway?

Log into the account you listed with to check on your auctions. No harm in being safe.

Edit to add: I find it's a good rule to follow that if you have to ask, "Is it safe to do this?" The answer is probably "No."

Why take the chance?

Personally, I recommend avoiding ANYTHING that may potentially link an account, even if eBay/PayPal/Amazon is not currently checking for it. They can (and do) update their methods all the time.

It may seem outlandish, but when you view a listing, eBay sees your IP number. Of course, millions of people look at millions of items each day - so this is a lot of data to gather and sort through.

But eBay COULD eventually look for an IP number that consistently looks at another seller's listings. It probably wouldn't be enough to link the accounts, but it could be one more piece of the puzzle.
