logged in to the wrong stealth account on the same IP.
 

hi guys,
today i was setting up a new stealth account and i was adding my bank account info on to paypal, however after i had finished i went to pull the dongle i use out of my computer and realised "god damn it" i forgot to plug it in,

so i have logged into this account from my home router which is linked to another eBay account, that account is still live and the IP has not been barred by eBay but i don't know what i am supposed to do from here, do i just carry on as normal, i really don't know?

any help would be much appreciated,
thanks for taking the time to read my thread.

Scott,

I have been there before and most of the time I have both accounts banned.

On occasion, if you are selling in different categories or sometimes just by luck they don't get banned.

I would proceed cautiously though because there is a chance the accounts could be linked.

I hope that everything will be ok with you.

I have once or 2x logged in from an IP that's shared with another account. But none of them were banned accounts and it seemed ok.

I think at this point all you can do is just be MORE careful, and carry on and be as different as you can be on both accounts from each other.

thanks, now i have written on my desktop back ground for each user account " do not log in unless using dongle and airport is turned off" i think this will help me to remember. =)

Yes, and one more thing, DO NOT go on auto pilot when you are tired.
This has happened to me 2 times and luckily I got away with it.

Sage advice. Once you get tired, leave it alone. Applies equally to stealthing and driving.

I am a late night worker and sometimes get extremely tired after a long day and its 3 am and still online.

I really have to be careful when switching IPs and always rule of thumb at night like that is to go back and double check the number BEFORE I log in.

Make it a habit.
