Different User Accounts

[martyjump]

I've always heard and read that you have to have a different user account per stealth account. However, I have had accounts that have been on the same user account that have been active for 2 years without any problem.

However, with eBay tightening up with what I refer to as the selling "screening process" I have been leaning towards a unique user account per stealth account. My problem is that I have been signing up SEVERAL accounts and my goal is to have realistically somewhere around 100-150 accounts. My computer can't have that many user accounts and function the way I need it to.

So what is the solution here? If I decide to go the user account route as I have always been recommended (but always ignored for most part) do I need to get my old desktop computer and put some accounts on there? And maybe ANOTHER laptop as well?

Any input is welcomed and appreciated

Search for threads in portable browsers such as Chrome portable FireFox portable. You can have many different installations of a browser in one user account each with it's own cookies/history

That must be how I've been getting away with it- I always clear cookies using Google Chrome before signing in.

A couple of points.
First - takes money to make money. If your computer is so old then its time to upgrade it and invest in a new one. Even if you didn't need more user accounts you should upgrade because you don't want your computer dying on you unexpectedly. I switch my computers every two years just to be on the safe side not to mention back everything up religiously.
Second - even older computers shouldn't have an issue supporting multiple user accounts. I had 400 user accounts on my previous computer already and that was a laptop from 4 years ago. Windows XP had issues with multiple user accounts but Windows 7 has no issues at all.

400? Lol, bet you were glad to discover portable browsers
