iPhone and new eBay Stealth Account. Please help

[afdfirefighter]

I recently have been using a family members ebay and paypal on my iphone via the apps. I am going to delete those particular apps and i downloaded the atomic web app. few questions:

1. If i delete all cache on safari, chrome and atomic can I log into my ebay account?
2. Can I have my gmail account linked to my iPhone so I can see when I have sold items and when I have questions?
3. What do people mean by not enabling images?
4. I should post from a laptop with a new IP address and only monitor with my iPhone correct?
5. Am I missing anything else?

Thank you sooooo much for your help.

Thank you sooooo much for your help.

I would like to add to that question - if I configure the email accounts associated with my stealth account on my iPhone MAIL client, will it link my accounts?

I noticed when I get a typical email from eday (recommendations etc etc) there is no option to enable/disable 'display images' so i'm assuming any tracking tools eday will already be released on my phone?

My time reading this forum tells me - this would not be an impact UNLESS i log into one of my stealth accounts on my phone via the eday APP, but I'm not sure if the same could be said about logging in via browser, and clearing browsing/cache accordingly.

Any confirmation on my thought process?

I asked this question on afdfirefighter's thread to prevent opening another thread with a similar question.

Thanks

Yes, as long as you change IP's your set.

2. Can I have my gmail account linked to my iPhone so I can see when I have sold items and when I have questions?

Yes, your going to have to setup 2-pass verification on gmail in order to get email on your iphone but it's pretty easy once you do the 1st email.

3. What do people mean by not enabling images?

The idea with all email is "NOT" to enable images that come from Ebay/PP. Normally gmail blocks images but you can do it when you setup your email on your phone.

4. I should post from a laptop with a new IP address and only monitor with my iPhone correct?

Are you tethering from your phone to your Laptop? Need more clarification before advice is given.

5. Am I missing anything else?

Don't know...

Thank you sooooo much for your help.

Gmail normally blocks images from showing up on email thus blocking all "Image beacons" that Ebay/PP send out. I will say this, I don't answer emails from my phone but some people do. If you do plan to respond from your phone you need to make sure you change IP's before doing so, If you don't you will get linked.

Are images showing from the emails Ebay/PP sends? If they do you can change the settings to "Not Show" those images.

I use my phone to log into Ebay/PP, I make sure I change IP's and clear all cookies, cache before doing so. I also use Atomic Web which is great for stealth users because it let's you identify your browser as "IE", "Firefox" etc.
Obviously everything we do is a risk, it's up to you to take all the steps necessary not to get caught.

if you clean cookies and history all the time, would this rise suspicious activity by eBay ? because your account is up an running from new browsers and account all the time ?

is it better to use different browsers for different stealth account ? I think they actually keep all cookies separate from other browsers...all browsers will remember passwords etc and this will keep you more stable right ?

rather then clean cookies all the time... ebay my ask you for additional information very soon.

No, because good security practice on shared pc is to not save cookies that can be used to hack your account. It will look like you use a shared terminal.

It makes no difference which browser you use as long as you delete cookies and flash cookies. Multiple browsers wont help as flash cookies are shared unless you are on iphone which doesnt support flash anyways.
