VPS rules

But hey, for that matter, don't you think eB and pp can read this post right now? Lol it seems just a game to them, they let this go on for a while so that they can seize the accounts when we have too much funds in there?

Try different VPS providers that are not as well known? I can't switch these accounts over now, they are selling like crazy, but would like to setup new ones in the future. I'd like to know since it seems you have been already doing this for a lot longer than I have.

First get your setup right and than you can start working on providers. setup is number one and port is the biggest part of that setup.

Still works great! I did lose 2 accounts out of 16 but those were other issues. Still have the same stealths! It is random which get their limits raised, so some are doing better than others..

Its my opinion that my VPS is more secure, since I control the IP address. Since the IP I use is on lease to me for all this time, there is no chance of linking this IP to any other account that I have. It eliminates the need for me to keep track of what IP I am using all the time. I have a unique IP for each eBay account, that never changes and that nobody else can ever use for anything else. I think that's pretty secure. Using a VPN you get a random IP every time you connect to their server, and if this matches another account there is a possibility of getting linked.. you have to make sure that the geographic location that the VPN sends you (randomly) matches the area your account info is, or another possibility of a 999.. seems less secure.

Your thinking about the wrong type of VPN, what your describing is a shared VPN, where your ip will change randomly everytime you connect and you share the ips with many users. That's not the type of VPN everyone else is talking about, you should never use that type of VPN. MM was talking about a fresh dedicated VPN. Which means you get a fresh Dedicated IP that never changes and only you have access to it.

Also VPN's have quite a good amount of benefits over VPS, especially when you combine it with VMware. Can literally have 5 different ip addresses running at the same time. So it makes multi-tasking between accounts extremely convenient and easy. While on a VPS your limited to one at a time, and unless you buy the more expensive VPS, it can be quite slow at times.
