vpn for France, Spain and Italy

[ebayhippo]

Can anyone recommend a VPN for selling in France, Spain and Italy? I have found one madvpn.com but would like to compare prices as I think this will be expensive for running multiple accounts.

all the ones Ive looked at are all too expensive, similar or more than MAD..

alternative is making account in that country and then administering it from your own country. I think it depends on what IP you are using in your country and Im sure a techie can help with which not to use, but I it ok on a normal wireless laptop

Are you saying that I should physically go to each country and open an account? I then come back to Spain and then administer each account using different spanish IPs?

yes thats what I did, I tried to set up a euro account in uk and got error message saying had to be in country of site, so just as an experiment went on holiday and set one up at my friends house, got home found I wasnt blocked from administering it, and then did the same in another country.( I will not say which countries though).

I would guess that the ip you use in Spain is important factor, it should be at least wide ranging or preferably not country specific. I hit lucky as I have no tech knowledge, but I seem to do it ok. Alternatively try setting it up under a VPN, and then cancel service..or just buy a UK account from someone..

I cannot guarantee, any of the above will work for you, but just giving my personal experience, I have found that ip isnt that important within Europe. However I have not tried to administer a Uk account from a Spain ip.

whatever you do please update the forum as, I for one am interested in different methods..

Thanks

I like the idea of setting it up with a VPN and then cancelling the VPN. My only problem would then be to find an address in each country. I'll have to work on that one. I'll let you if I succeed.

IP ifrom specific country isnt that important in Europe, or the name you use. They link people with combination of at least 2 things lets say using again same name and ip. I know some will say that you shouldnt use same name but... consider this. When you open the phonebook of former Yugoslavia, Romania, Hungary and Austria, theres at least 2k people in total under my name, so its practicly impossible to block

Mate, i've opened my accounts in the uk, so would i have a problem being over in spain using mulitple accounts via a dongle ? as that would auto change the ip for each account.. i just want to know that they wouldnt be suspended..

???

well I dont have problem with being in UK and dealing with say a France account, and Ive been in Portugal on dongle like you and dealt with UK account, maybe they know people travel etc and allow you to make accounts in a country and as long as the registered address and phone is in same Country and ip correct when you make it, then you can manage it elsewhere.

Your location when you actuallly initially make account is very important though...

all I can say is try and see, I mean if they question you, say you are on holiday and whats their problem....

true mate, ill try it out and see how we go cheers!!

I'm inclined to agree.

The only time I tried using VPN (purevpn) my account was toast in no time.

VPS is the best way to do it. It aint so cheap or fast, but most Ebay stuff can be done in Auctiva.

really old thread, yes, I got hit on location verifications for alot of my euro accs after that, as the ip rules moved on from 09 practice....vps is a great way of sorting it, only issues are the sequential nature of ips you get...since vcc withdrawal stopped though it has made it less desirable for quite a few foreigners to make euro accs....
