Starting another ebay acct - have questions on ip......

[poof]

My 4 week old ebay acct was recently suspended - cust rep told me because it was linked to a suspended acct (was suspended in 09) that I had thru my stores a few years ago - I must've used some info setting up the suspended acct that I used many years ago for the stores.

I have been reading about ips on your forums and in the ebook I bought, but still have some concerns because my Amazon acct was closed recently too after they said it was related to suspended acct too - and this was after we made sure the ip address was changing at my stores before logging on to amazon.

So, I want to use my store computer to start a new ebay acct ( also amazon after this), because that is where we will be listing/packing/shipping. - I'm using a brother inlaws info (same last name) - phone, address, debit card & bank acct (in my name too) - so all info will be legit info, but I am concerned about the ip. The ip address at my stores all change - if they don't, we turn off modem & restart. We're on at&t dsl.

Is it okay that everytime we log in to ebay that our ip address has changed? (we have been keeping track of them)

Since I have same last name as brother in law - should I mispell it, so they don't by chance link it?

Can I log on to new acct from a laptop - if using at some place like mcd's or starbucks or somewhere else using their wifi? I can't do from home right now cause ip stays the same and ebay will apparently link it from that.

Sorry for so many questions - I have similiar questions for suspended amazon acct - another thread.....

Thanks for your help

you need to read Amazon Ghost and also eBay Stealth if you havent already

they will answer most of the questions you have

read around the forums and you can find the rest here

amazon do far more than just check the ip address

@poof, for eB what I do is use the same windows user account per eb/pp combo. The IP changes everytime but I prefer to worry about keeping cookies in place in each separate account.

As for using brother-in-law name, while I don't like using friends' or relatives' info, the main key is that all OTHER registration info must be different than your old suspended info. Lot of folx have same names - there must be TONS of John Howards or whatever around...eb won't ban just because of name.

AZ is a different beast altogether - much more checks in place.

Thank you for responses. I bought both books and have been reading them. So to confirm - its okay the ip address changes every time - which means its okay to use any of those computers, but make sure I set up a user acct at each store to go into b4 logging on to ebay? and clearing cookies at end of day?

Keep the cookies in the user account of windows - ONE eb/pp combo per user account - if you delete cookies...just make sure you have an active phone number if eb wants to verify via PIN.

I don't delete cookies.
