eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

Here's the proof by using Brave browser to capture it.

may i know how to prevent them for tracking?

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

why does webgl concern you?

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

I see canvas as an issue but webgl to me has no issues

Interesting. Better start incorporating Amazon stealth techniques into your eBay accounts now..

Is Brave Browser helpful with Canvas?

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

Yes, the browser blocks canvas tracking.

Check your signature with this:

It sounds like it is not an exact science to me.

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

One tip, NEVER block the Canvas value, always try to spoof it. They can see if its being blocked, and that is more of a trigger to me than using the default.

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

I was thinking of getting this a add on and it seems to explain it pretty good.

What do you guys think?

Add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...ingerprinting/

Write up: https://multiloginapp.com/how-canvas...ily-trackable/

I've been using it for about a year and I can say it does change canvas results on whoer.net

If you use it... set it and forget it...

If its really a serious concern though, I'd go with virtualization over an addon.

An interesting read....

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

Now summarize what you understood from that article...

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

What are you using for virtualization?

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

Is this an instant concern or only for a long term concern?

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

Looks like they are already using it. Although they might be confused why so many accounts getting linked. lol

Welcome back...:welcome; Been on vacation or just that busy making $?

Just a wild guess I'd say vacation... This time last year I lost 2 accounts to buyers. These last two months this year I got negative feedback on 5 accounts. The only negatives I got all year. Next year I'm taking a break May & June. Just going fall back and sell storage unit items.

Live in an RV and traveling around. Life is simple and great.

Re: eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking
 

PayPal have been using this form of tracking technology for as long as I can remember. They've never exercised it in the form Amazon would do, i.e. link and suspend. So with eBay being so closely affiliated with PayPal I would presume the same. Hence, their purpose of using it may be for something else (perhaps, not sure).

Ideally you want to be putting each account into its own Virtual Machine, each with a different OS to really prevent any form of linking. This is the best way forward as you future proof your accounts from all angles. But for now, new user accounts tend to suffice.

He's going to write a guide for you. :thumb:

For Chrome users: Disable WebGL
