Mobile tracking
 

I have a question about smartphones such as iphone and samsung galaxy s2. If you post from them on ebay, is it sufficent to just delete cookies and web browser files from the browser it self and login into a different ebay account. (if you connect via wifi and change ip address). Also would it be fine to say use Firefox on your phone for one ebay account and say dolphin for another account (assuming you change the ip) would that be fine or is there any way of tracking. Like on a computer you create a new user account for each account, what can you do on a phone. Or if you use a browser which doesn't have flash because it doesn't support it can that work. Please advice, thank you in advance for any help.

You can use a smartphone for sure, I do recommend Atomic Web because it lets you change the browser name and all the options for stealth. It also views websites like ebay/paypal like a real browser.

Doesn't matter what cleaner app you have on your phone, Ebay App has already collected data from your phone, it's best to not use the apps at ALL!

Hmm i have two mobile phones,one for ebay verification and one to buy/sell on ebay,i guess only way round this is to.change my ip on my phone..but to test the water i will set up a stealth ebay account,sell a few items and see if they link my phone

Re: Mobile tracking
 

What your not seeing is that Ebay/PP apps collect information that is specific to your phone/phone number....Also why are you determined to use your phone? I honestly don't recommend using your phone but your more than welcome to kill a few accounts in "testing" the waters.

When I first got banned from eBay I done the same thing using my iphone as I loved using it I think it's a lot easier and faster, from iPhone i switch off load remote images for emails, cleared all cookies and switched flight mode on and off to change IP address each time i switched account, after attempting creating 5-10 stealth accounts I kept getting mc999 alert asking for more information from me and mc999 saying one account has been linked to another, some accounts lasted a week some lasted 24 hours,

After doing some reaserch and thinking I realised that to use the mobile app you need to clear out cookies before switching accounts to not get linked, but eBay like too see cookies from accounts when people log into them so every time I logged into an account because I've cleared cookies, to eBay it's like I'm logging into my account each time from a unknown device with no cookies or browsing history coz I have cleared it and that raised an alerts with eBay and explains the first mc999, as for the second mc999 I couldn't find out why and how they were linking my accounts. But they did!

Since then I've got rid of the mobile app and have set up 10 different accounts on my laptop each with different user accounts all with a solid cookies and browsing history and never had a single problem or mc999 alert, all are from 20-65 days old, so my advice would be to not use it. ever!
