Methods to use eBay/PayPal being away from home

christianmend · #1 12-27-2015

Hi! I was wondering what do you guys do to either reply or sign in your eBay or PayPal accounts. Im currently away for christmas and Im having issues to use my eBay and PayPal and to reply customers... As long as I know I shouldnt use my new accounts from an iPhone or any other device right?

Thanks in advance.

This is why I always use a laptop a mobile hotspot and a small label printer so wherever I go my business goes with me, business in a backpack.

If you are abroad, best method to manage the accounts is to use a VPN.

You will always have te same IP anywhere in the world you connect from.

It is also good to always use the same laptop where you have all your cookies and flash objects history.

Yes use a VPN, don't take any chances

All my stealths are being run from VPS servers, so it does not matter where do I connect to them from.

Thanks everyone for your replies...

Yes thats my main problem now. Before I was suspended I did use my accounts from everywhere without fears... That lasted for like 3 years... But now everything scares me and the only place I check everything at its my house, from my own laptop... :(

Actually the best solution is to leave your home computer on and log into it using Teamviewer from anywhere in the world.
As far as ebay and paypal are concerned everything is done as if youre still at home.

There are all sorts of problems associated with leaving your computer left on while you're away. Just get a 10usd VPN and make sure you have the cookies on your laptop.

VPN always , We know you are off for a holiday or moving around but the bots with ebay and paypal are going to raise a red flag if you are gonna change a ip to different country. Waste 10$ for a vpn instead wasting a 100$ account .

My computers are on for months at a time without any issues...
Not sure what problems you're referring to but I myself have never experienced any.
And I still hold that the best solution to operating when away from home is to make it seem as if you're still at home. It's simple, easy and free.

Ok havent tried myself, but i don't think anything could be more simple than VPN for me personally , use for both Amazon and Ebay in various countries 10usd - bargain. Also for many countries I just use IP addresses from the country I am based in, the most important thing is having cookies in place.

But how do you switch IP addresses or user accounts? Won't Teamviewer stop working?

slokor · #15 12-28-2015

Nope.
I run 3 laptops at home at all times and when Im away I can log in to them with Teamviewr. One of these laptops has over 400 user accounts on it and switching between them is done exactly as if youre watching the screen at home.
Switching IPs is done exactly the same way.
Give it a try and see for yourself.
A VPN is not a bad solution but for me using the EXACT same IP address instead of introducing a new one to the mix is a better solution.
Cheaper AND safer? to me that's a winning combination.

We'll in 2 days I'm going on vacation to Punta Cana. I made sure all my virtual computers had a teamviewer up and running and the host as well. My note 5 has teamviewer also. No worries here, been using teamviewer for years.

revenge · #17 12-29-2015

Let's put it this way. Your laptop is safer at home at least for me I have an alarm system, cameras, steel doors and my laptop is locked down. When you take your laptop with you there's a good chance it may get hacked, lost, stolen or even damaged.

I suppose it depends on your circumstances. I'm location independent, so no real home to fill with IT systems

I have one user account with hundreds of Chrome Portable installations, and a VPN - That's it
