1) Read Aspkin's guide and follow instructions to the 'T'
2) Get a new machine and a different ISP for every account and I don't want to hear it. There is no way around it, it cost me a lot of money to learn that.
No Proxies
No software NIC/IP spoofers
No AOL
No NETzero
will do the job. eBay will get your MAC and your local IP somehow, someday we'll all know how.
The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!
I don't know about all that. You can create multiple accounts on 1 computer.
YES AND NO. You try to get banned and open a new account on a new machine with a masked/proxy IP but from the same location and You'll get re-banned in 2 hours if you create a listing.
I found that you can open as many buyer accounts and use them no problem, same IP, same machine, no cookies deleted. The minute you sell something, whole new ballgame.
I just did a test to see if AOL proxy actually hide my IP from eBay.
The result is not good, eBay KNOWS my real IP.
Here are the steps you can do to see it for yourself.
Close everthing, delete all cookies, then launch AOL
Type in AOL browse box WhatIsMyIP.com - 74.53.11.194
the result come back as AOL ip (not your real IP). Looks good so far!
And in that email, eBay would say the request to change password originate from YOUR REAL IP, and YOUR REAL HOST IP!
Can anyone else confirm this, or confirm otherwise? It's a good thing that I know this now, I already setup many accounts, but I haven't start selling yet!
What about kinkos/libraries etc? LOL I can't believe I'm going this far...
I need to start selling on eBay again, illuminate me please. I've had 5 accounts closed. Goerge, you mentioned on another posting about your purchased accounts, how did that go?
Sorry I cant find out since all I have are macs. Though Im sure it will work for pc's if you configure your aol client some way. When you configure it to use your existing internet connection, maybe you can figure something out. Im sure if you use wireless you can just make aol connect to your wireless card and it should work, that is if it doesn't work for you now.
It's a dial-up setup, about as basic as possible. Just the phone connected to the computer, connected to the wall jack. I've had no issues with speed. It's fast enough for basic listing.
Forgive my ignorance George, but if one is using dial-up, would one dial the connection, get connected and then sign into the aol client to provide the shield? I was under the impression that it was all one step that you dialed into your connection while dialing into aol. I'm a little heat exhausted right now, so it's probably much simpler than my brain is comprehending..
I just load up the aol client and connect to aol's servers while im connected to my DSL connection. Since Im not dialing aol's servers, but Im using an "existing internet connection" it just says TCP/IP instead of dialing # and boom im connected to AOL's servers.
If you are on dial-up I think that makes it impossible to connect to AOL unless you use their dial up service. You therefore don't have an existing internet connection to use I think if you have some dialup service. I think the only way to setup the aol client to connect using your existing internet connection is if you have broadband since if you select a modem I think aol automatically wants to dialup not just detect you are already connected.
Don't risk it, LISTEN HERE PLZ
