Did i just red flag myself?
 

So I just started using my stealth account and started selling. At home my IP is still the same and computers cache hasnt been cleared. I had a couple emails in my inbox and my brother decided to reply through gmail..

He clicked the picture link to respond to best offers... but didnt log in.. **FACEPALM**

What are the chances that raised a red flag and lead to suspension?

This is gonna take me a long time before we can start selling again

Are you saying that you are using the same IP from an older account? Or did you start the account with new IP, user, etc?

A few more facts to answer your question.

^Yes, same IP from older account.

Why?

Have you gone through the stealth book?

One fundamental is "IP address".

You may have been linked.

Understand the concepts and then go forward.

First you need to teach your brother how to stealth properly or else your account is going to go down like the Titanic!

Second, it's very hard to say if your 100% linked, you might be safe but it might done days before you really know.

Only time will tell if it is enough to link you, but your brother may want to get a copy of the stealth guide and have a good long read though it :)

Make sure you keep a different user account for every eBay and that way you won't be easily tracked.
Also make sure to clear your cookies and cache.

Just to clarify, you don't need to clear your cookies and cache so long as you use separate user accounts for each stealth.

In fact, much better to keep them intact as it appeases ebay and paypal.

There's really no telling if your account will be suspended or not. We all make stupid mistakes like this, the key is not to make them again.

Just move forward and operate the stealth way and create more accounts with no links, only time will tell

It's a good idea to log all information and have a plan of operation that you can follow especially in the beginning
