Similar Cookies throughtout your stealth accounts
 

Greetings

Ive been wondering about something. I have been operating with 2 or three accounts for the past month or so. 1 in my name, the other two with a couple of friends that allowed me to make accounts in their names. I access the accounts all on different internet connections with their own separate IPs.
Now I log into all the same websites all the time from all the separate computers. Now I must also add that my product base is not varied at all. I sell the same two products on all the accounts. Do you all think that eBay could catch on to this?... and say, man, these three accounts dont share the same cookies, but they have all the same type of cookies from all the same websites, and they all sell exactly the same stuff. Basically I'm asking does a certain website produce the exact same cookie on two different computers, and will eBay look at this and the product base that two different accounts are selling to link accounts?

No your fine.

Ebay are only looking for their own cookies.

Re: same product, it depends on several factors.

1. How unique a product is it....
2. Do you use different pictures across each account....
3. Do you significantly re-write your descriptions.

And then how close geographically are the accounts? How similar are the IP ranges?

In isolation these things probably wouldn't be enough to link accounts. But should one of your accounts come under review, depending what you do there could be enough info for ebay to link to the other ones.

I've been wondering this as well. As far as pictures go, how different do they have to be? Should I use different image hosting companies as well?
