hey all, I was wondering something. I found an IP blocker site...thingy, that works through ebay. Would it be suspicious if I was logging into my accounts with different Ips? I mean, since the Ips are random would they suspect me if I happen to get an Ip from china or something?

I think that that will get your account looked at real quick and rightly so. There are so many phishers out there that I actually think it is prudent for EB to prevent someone with an IP from China accessing a US account. I have seen those programs too and once I opened it and them tried to open IE and my provider would not let me on under the foreign IP.

Just checked out the sticky on changing your IP. There are some interesting bits of info there and I posted a question that if anyone knows the answer or a workaround would be really helpful.
Go over and check it out

So are you saying that as long as you are cloaked via hide ip you sign on and off only clearing cookies in between?

Ever use this theory to shill bid?

BTW, I don't have a problem with shilling...as a buyer (myself) or someone bidding on one of my auctions, the item is worth what it is worth to you or not. If I am bidding on something that I think is worth $100, it's worth that, regardless of how the price gets to where it is at.

I might add that I never did it myself that much or got caught at it, usually had a friend enter a bid for me or me for them.

haha, then no one will bid on it. For some reason if you start something low, you'll get more bids on it, I wonder why . Like my old computer was an okay machine but it had become outdated. So I decided to sell it on ebay. First I started the bid at like $100. No one bid on it. Then relisting the same item but starting it at 99 cents I got it sold for $295. Don't ask me why, but starting low always works. Super low, but only if you know that your item has the potential to go higher and it is needed by customers. Of course it could've been just a lucky day for me :D .

You must realize that when eBay gets in bed with a company like AOL or Doubleclick ;or worse yet buys them outright like PayPal and Skype..information is freely exchanged. That is their trademark ...their monopoly on information control.

Absolutely! I can get ahold of some discountiued collectibles that I have sold for $75. I listed one a week ago at $50 because being new for some reason I couldn't do a reserve price or obviously a BIN. No one bit so I re-listed for $40 and so far no one has bitten, although since mine was listed others have sold for over $50. Go figure.

What I like to do with another item is to start it at $50 and set a reserve at $201 and then enter several bids during the auction up to $199. If it doesn't sell no prob, no final value fee. If it does sell it is at a price I feel comfortable with.

My shilling only drives up the auto bids and only up to the reserve so if they don't make that final bid over the reserve they don't have to buy because the reserve was not met so the aren't hurt. Besides...if you don't think it is worth $200, then don't bid $200...that simple.
If I started at $199 though I might not get any bites and will pay a much higher FVF

Another thing that bothers me since I mentioned reserve auctions is if a reserve is set at say $50 on an item that I feel is worth $75 to me and bidding starts at say $10, I can put a $60 bid it and if no one else bids it up past the initial $10 bid it won't sell.

Maybe I am doing something wrong as a bidder, but that has always PO'd me that they won't let me pay the full amount that I am willing to.

My experience has been that when a piece doesn't sell, and I list it at a lower price, people get passionate about the piece after they bid and someone outbids them. That's when the fun begins as you watch them try to out bid one another, then another person comes in at the very end and snipes the item away from the ones who had been fighting it out.

That doesn't say too much as I'm still getting the same IP address in my network configuration... am I not seeing something else? Is there another place I should be looking for the new AOL IP address?
