EBAY account and 24C
 

Hi, I have a few questions. I have a second eBay account that I have been running from the library for the past year. I want to bring the operation back to my home. At my home I have my old eBay suspended account as my buyer account. My plan is to

1. create a second user account on my PC
2. On the second user account buy 24VC VPN and use it so my IP address from my selling account will be different from the suspended account
3. Use firefox on the seller account and keep cookies enabled so that eBay can see I have logged in there before.

Am i missing anything or is this a good plan going forward?

Thanks, Brew

a simple mifi or phone tethering will also be feasible with no chance of IP linking to your broadband at home. You can get it all done today with no money out of pocket if you use your phone for IP.

Thanks, not to familiar with the phone tethering. I don't use my iphone as a hotspot.

Re: EBAY account and 24C
 

It is simply using your phone as a hotspot. Turn on bluetooth and hotspot and connect. Same for a Mifi.

Re: EBAY account and 24C
 

thanks I just set that up, do i connect to it via my tablet? If so how does this mask IP?

Re: EBAY account and 24C
 

No need to mask the IP. You simply dont want to be using the same IP as your other account.

Re: EBAY account and 24C
 

ok, but no matter what device I use the the verizon router IP address shows up when I ask what is my ip

Re: EBAY account and 24C
 

Turn the WIFI OFF on your hotspot. Use your phone data.

Re: EBAY account and 24C
 

Wow that's amazing! I get an entirely different IP address. How is the iphone doing that? I guess the only issue i have is that it is hard to list things on ebay thru the phone. You are suggesting i use the phone for ebay, correct?

Thanks! Brew

Re: EBAY account and 24C
 

connect your computer or whatever you are using for ebay to your hotspot via bluetooth and dont use your broadband. Take the step of unplugging it from your PC if needed.

If you are using your tablet for ebay, then connect to your phone for internet.

Re: EBAY account and 24C
 

excellent! thanks, I just physically plugged my phone into the PC and received the new IP address. So I guess that's what I need to do. I wish I could connect to it without physically connecting (because I only have two USB ports) but this is a big step. Thanks for you assistance.

Glad you are able to move forward today. If you have not read the stealth guide, you may want to. The basics and how simply they are explained are extremely valuable. Then use this forum and other research to fine tune your skills and techniques.

Re: EBAY account and 24C
 

yes thank you. I am about to pick one up. Thanks again for you help

Re: EBAY account and 24C
 

Cell Phone tethering is definitely a winner. Why did you mention to turn the Bluetooth on, though?

Re: EBAY account and 24C
 

I connect via bluetooth. Never have connected via cable.

Re: EBAY account and 24C
 

Brew, your plan sounds pretty good.

Just to be sure, read the entire stealth guide, just incase you miss anything.
Specially after putting all your time and effort into it.

Good luck

Yes, I plan to rent a subscription once I get back to work again, in between jobs right now, but ebay and amazon are helping to get me by. So far the tethering has worked. I also ordered a USB port that has 4 USB connectors so that I can used my keyboard mouse printer and phone together.

Re: EBAY account and 24C
 

Well, I don't do either. That's the concept of a wi-fi hotpost. Wi-Fi. I've never heard of using BT to use your phone to connect another device to the internet

If you guys are traveling... what would you think is the best way to stay connected to your internet and not have a monthly limit?
