eBay is using Canvas and WebGL tracking

[empirestate]

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

why does webgl concern you?

[danshan]

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?

[empirestate]

Yes, the browser blocks canvas tracking.

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

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.

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

What do you guys think?

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.

What are you using for virtualization?

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

Welcome back... 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.

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.
