Default Auctiva - Account Linking?

Is anyone else slightly concerned that with the chummy relationship between Auctiva and Ebay that this may be a trap for Ebay to be able to link accounts? I'm sure that you are as diligent as I am in making sure to seperate your Ebay and Paypal accounts by clearing cookies and seperate IP's. It does seem a little bit risky to just log in and out of different Auctiva accounts that are linked to seperate Ebay accounts without knowing for certain that Ebay can't get it's grubby hands on this information to find linked accounts especially since almost every Ebay suspension guide recommends signing up for Auctiva. Does anyone else have definitive experience in this regard that will help to ease my concerns?

Default Try Not To Be Paranoid

You are going over-board on this! Try not to worry too much.
There are too many users here going well using Auctiva for their listings. Unless there is a complete policy change overnight, there has been no proof of linking accounts. Use Auctiva correctly and you should be fine.

Paranoia is the word of the day.

Every time I have used Auctiva for an account, the account got suspended. Three different times.

After I stopped using it, I went over a year without being suspended again until the latest security wave.

I am very leary of cross pollenization of cookies between these sites.

And soon, you won't be able to delete cookies or you will have to get regular phone calls to verify each and every listing. How that would work with Auctiva I have no idea.

I have been using auctiva for years. I have 25 auctiva accounts.

When an ID get suspended. I change the profile in auctiva, change or rearrange the words and phases. I change or rearrange the pictures. Change the templates, the price and shipping info. You have to make the new auctiva listings look very different.

I used to repost the same auctiva listings from a suspended account to a new account. In the beginning the account would last for weeks soon it was only days.

I learned that eBay is watching for too much similarity between suspended accounts and active accounts. If you update your auctiva accounts you will be safe.

You are safe using the same pictures but I would rearrange them.

Use a mozilla-based browser and all your cookies are in a text file that you can take out and put back in editing that file.

Auctiva can link you by a million things so you're screwed if they link.

If you weren't logged into eBay at the time, there's no problem.
