HIDE IP SOFTWARE? WHAT WORKED FOR ME ON SUSPENDED IDs.
Well, we are on our 5th eBay Selling (PowerSeller 10,000+ feedback) ID. We have two active and just recently had a third until May, but one of our employees logged in to an old suspended account by accident, then logged into our third ID later that night. In about 6 days, eBay shut us down. So, the IP thing works and eBay DOES TRACE your IP if you are linked to a suspended seller, our other two IDs are still fine and have no issue. Word of advice there is if you are banned, NEVER LOG IN AGAIN, don't EVEN EMAIL! Turn off your modems for 1 min, and routers, turn them back on, and register all new with all new virtual identity.
We have now switched to a HIDE MY IP2007 program, it switches your IP every 10-15 min if you want, and keeps them all in the USA. This will prevent that from happening again, we hope.
One question for you all, do you think that having a "hopping/10min switching IP" IP will ban us even sooner? I'm afraid that they may look at us more, see that we log in from every known state in the same hour and put us under the microscope.
One thing, all our accounts have different addresses, different bank accounts/credit cards, different names for registration, but all similar selling items. Works for us, will update you if eBay catches us for IP Hopping. Off to register our 6th and 7th ID.
