Ebay can't see all the websites you go to, they only collect cookies off when you go to their website.

actually I just learned that paypal sees what website you came from and what website you go to.

I read that too..but thats paypal not ebay.

Re: clear browsing history and cookies
 

we can assume the same thing with ebay?
Im not going to read the TOS but I will assume that seeing as they were the same company for many years they have the same data collection systems

Re: clear browsing history and cookies
 

From what I know they can only see where you have come from if you click a hyperlink on one website going to their website, not if you type eBay into the URL bar (but I could be wrong on this)

Website Traffic Information: Because of the way Internet communication standards work, when you arrive at or leave the PayPal website, we automatically receive the web address of the site that you came from or are going to. We also collect information on which pages of our website you visit, IP addresses, the type of browser you use and the times you access our website.

so shud i delete all browser and cookie history or u think im safe with ebay lol

Re: clear browsing history and cookies
 

it is not safe to keep deleting your ebay and paypal cookies.. paypal and ebay like them both lol

Re: clear browsing history and cookies
 

just view aspkin on your main user, and have other seperate users for accounts and do not delete those cookies.

I find it hard to believe it is as straightforward as they can see previous sites visited, I always heard cookies are only detectable by the sites that placed them....maybe if it is a referal link...otherwise all you ashley madison subscribers would be busted harhar...

Re: clear browsing history and cookies
 

Paypal will ask for calls and texts if you clear cookies all the time.
Ebay sometimes asks to confirm phone number etc...

Cookies are good.
I am going to take extra precautions on my stealth accounts now and watch what sites I visit from this point forward.
