HELP!accidentally logged into 2 EB acc at same ip
 

i have 2 st***th EB accounts running (let's say acc A and acc B), i basically switch the sales between them. i have separate vpn for each account. but today, i accidentally logged into the 2 EB accounts and 2 paypal accounts on the same ip (both on acc A's ip). :doh::doh::doh: when i noticed that i logged in acc B at the same ip as acc A, i logged out right away.

acc A is almost 2 year old with 600+ feedback and acc B is around 1 year old with 50+ feedback.

im so worried right now!! i know im linked now, but will i have any problem because of this mistake? what should i do? any advice? thank you

yes, I did that once, felt sick afterwards, if one goes down there is a link created, so they may look in to the other, it may not be the only thing they look at because alot of people share public computers, so a one-off log-in isnt dire, but they may look at second accounts details or products for circumstantial evidence that the two are made by same person, most importantly if outstanding paypal fees are involved......

I wouldn't go worrying too much, because just the fact that you logged into both isn't going to do anything in itself, but as oompaloompa said it will get them looking. Just do you best to keep both accounts up and running without incident.
The more time that elapses the less chance there is of the mistake leading to anything

Agree with oompa - basically what to do is set up a 3rd account+n more as you like.

Continue with first 2 accounts remembering never to repeat the same mistake. Be aware that if something happens, it MIGHT affect both but not necessarily. Just continue onwards and begin buildign backups stat.

Oh yes, and keep fees and payment in order.

Before I found this site, but was still setting up bogus accounts I would log in at my office all of the time with different accounts, One by one they got taken down, yet others with their own "real" accounts log in and out all of the time and haven't lost any of them yet

It will be logged. But just hope that they don't go looking into the accounts too much.

OP, I don't think a 1 time IP mistake will get you banned off the bat.
As long as you have used different user accounts in windows and you don't make the same mistake again.

Of course the chance is still there, but I would try not to worry for now.
In the mean time, prepare your other accounts.

This is how I got canned on Amazon. Took about three weeks, but they linked accounts, and BAM!

thanks guys! sorry for my late respond. i have been away for couple of days.

so far, i have no problem.

thanks again

From what I have read, Amazon is far more thorough and sneaky as far as logging your info, making getting another account a lot more that just clearing cookies and resetting the IP address.
Check the archives

Amazon will ban linked accounts very quickly.

I would just make sure you don't have a huge amount of cash in each of the accounts and slow down on sales for awhile. If you have other accounts, I would run sales on those accounts and let the 2 links accounts rest a bit.
