PROXY servers (proxies) and VPN , TOR - Hiding your IP

[kevinxu]

i'm in china and its hard for me to get another chinese account cos the verification is very strict for chinese.Then i need buy us or uk account but i need sort out the ip problem first.anyone has the same problem with me?have anyone tried the VPN or other prioxy?

[x2ruff4u]

Chinese accounts require global trading limit authorization. Its cause its so high there of people scamiing. I wouldnt bother selling with a china account if your to sell oversea's. At least im pretty sure on that. The ip problem can be solved by using aol. Just keep track of those. I know your ip takes you directly to the ebay japan or w/e. Maybe thatll help. A proxy would help but that would limit ur account.

hey, I,m back on this forum, and you know why? ebay suspension off course!!
Now I want to restart a new accounts paypal + ebay with my sister name and her bank account.
She's gona open the account from her home, list the first item and then send all infos to paypal and ebay when needed.
Affter that, I want to run this account from my computer but is difficult for me to change my IP. So my first questions is: does is safe to use a proxy, if yes wich one?
My second question is: Does i need to change my Pc or clean the hard drive? I I know about cookies and tamporaly files, but an user on this forum said that he have changed his computer, Does I need to do this or how i can clean my computer?
I want realy open a 100% sure account, my sister get the same last name as me,but in a different state so my third questions is: does it's a problem, if we restart selling the same stuff if last name match with my suspended account.
Last question can I have to change the style of my listing or can I copy and and past an existing one.
Thanks
Arsene Lupin

Dear ASPKIN
I red your article and Greatly appreciate your information. At the same time I respectfully dissagreewith you about one issue.
Paypal and eBay DO share the information.
If you wish to know details read following details.
We got suspended before. We opened new account in June (months and months after the suspension). It was opened on my wife's name.
We sold several items during 3 months and at the end of August had the clash with the Fraudulent Buyer. The person submitted NOT-DELIVERED complaint to paypal on 3rd day after the payment. We definitely could not deliver the item from CA to FL in 3 days. He recieved the item in one week, but didn't end the claim. We made multiple calls to Paypal trying to push for release of over 3000 dollars frozen on "LIMITED" Paypal Account.
As of today the item was not returned to us and it's more than one month after he recieved it. "Buyer" requilified the claim to NOT-AS-DESCRIBED with no details of what exactly is NOT-AS-DESCRIBED. So he wants to hold the item and get the money back. Last time we reached the Paypal superviser, who promised to fix the problem within one week, but in just a few hours after that our account on eBay was suspended. Plus they suspended the account, which belongs to my son who had used our computer to login to his account. ......
I found all the information provided by you very usefull. I am starting everything from scratch by ordering new services including new phone number and new ISP on my employee's name.
I will be changing even Network Cards or Computers.
Thanks for your help!

We are already aware of that Greg. Wee have you been??

We definitely could not deliver the item from CA to FL in 3 days.
Sure you can, thats just a excuse! Use priority mail or overnight mail!

So he wants to hold the item and get the money back.
Sure you can get your item back. You have his address. Pay him a visit or take him to civil court. Threaten to sue. Thats works all the time

I disagree with that statement. I have been using proxies on eBay without problems for many months. The thing is you need a Dedicated Proxy set-up to only allow your connections and show ports as closed to everyone else. That way eBay cannot detect if you're using a proxy or not.

[delirium]

Imjustme,
would you explain how to do that as far as set up goes? thanks!

[arsenelupin]

thanks for the infos, can you explain how to do this and does it work with all proxy

It did not detect my free proxy..

As far as unknown city, my ip from comcast cable gives that reading and my ISP is not a proxy??

[Chris Hanson]

It passed all Modee..

Oh and 2 of the websites you posted are the same

[Chris Hanson]

yeah actually it did say unknown city. But what i was stating earlier, even on my original Ip it says unknown city. But on the first one Ip checker, it marks my city.

Yeh i admit it, my proxy failed your tests.

[the fabricator]

That is the question. Is it worth it to just get an IP blocker, that way we won't have to worry about trying to change our IP's all the time; Or is this asking for attention and setting a red flag out.
I went into my network and manually changed my IP, then just configured it through the Assist Me run through and my IP was change to the number that I put; has anybody else tried this? It seems to reset itself back to the old one if I quit the Network menu, but if I leave it up it stays. So we'll see what happens by tomorrow.

[aspkin]

I've been able to do this as well. It seemed to work okay.

Make sure you monitor your ip though. Keep a log on it. Use IP Burger - What is my IP Address? Find Your IP Address!

[the fabricator]

You've been able to put in your own IP? Or block it? Assuming you meant the first; I have a mac and I noticed that if I quit Network Diagnostics it returns back to the old IP, however if I keep the window up it stays. So it's weird. I'm also assuming that I could just type in any number there, correct? Are there so many IP's that it will by chance be a real one that I make up?

[the fabricator]

this is weird though, because when I go to whatsmyipaddress.com it still says my old one, not the one that I set it to maually. ?? Aspkin how did you manually change it?

[siashay]

Ok so it took me a week to figure out how to even get a proxy, this is after a week of trying to figure out what a proxy is. So I get a add on of firefox. so about my google bar there is a bar with a eye on it. When I check my ip address using that bar it gives me a different ip address. But here is the thing. I can get on ebay or paypal with the proxy on because I can't except cookies I guess. So I call paypal because you can't call ebay.
I say. I have a proxy server because my 11 year old son was messing around on myspace and I am scared some perv will find out where he lives.

They say, you can use a proxy that excepts cookies and m3m or m3p files. I ask what m3p? or whatever she called it was? she started to tell me and another guy got on the phone right away. He sounded upset. I then ask him what these files are. He said, the other women doesnt know what she is talking about. Then real fast like told me to go to tools bla bla bla except cookies. Then hangs up.

It was very strange.

So here I am still not knowing how to use the proxy and wondering what these m3p? and no she didn't say mp3, at least I know what that is.

[Jonas]

if you use open proxies, ebay will jack your accounts up. At the very least, reset password.

[siashay]

What do you recommend? I can't get into eebay/paypal w some proxy's. Plus I notice they drop sometimes. Changing ip address all the time can be a pain.

[ivegotinfo]

i just use dialup. slower internet, but less pain in the you know where.

[aspkin]

Dial up is a great option. It's slow but it works.
