That method doesn't work for me. It only changes my local IP. It didn't change my external IP (the one that ebay and everyone else sees). External IP stays the same for me.
Probably won't work for you or anyone else, either. If not, there's a better way anyhow.
But... You can try this. But be sure that the external address has changed before you just go waltzing into ebay or anywhere else.

IP Burger - What is my IP Address? Find Your IP Address! and write that number down.
1) Go to the start menu, click on run and type CMD
SKIP THIS it's unnecessary 2) Type in IPCONFIG
this is your internal address and useless to you 3) That is the current IP address (assuming you dont have a routed hooked up)
skip this because it don't matter 4) Now you are going to type IPCONFIG/RELEASE
5) Go to Start menu, My Network Places, Click on Network Connections in the left menu, Right click on your internet connection (It may be Local Area Connection, something to that affect)...anyways, right click and disable (same as IPCONFIG/RELEASE) then right click and select properties
6) Now select Internet Protocal (TCP/IP) and select properties
7) Choose Use the following IP address and type in the following:
IP ADDRESS: 192.168.11.100
Then just click on the Subnet Mask and it will fill it in
8) Next Click OK to close that window and then OK on the other window
9) It will take a couple seconds and then once you are able to, click back on properties for the Internet Protocal (TCP/IP) and select Obtain An IP Address Automatically
9a) Click OK and OK. Then right click the adapter and enable it
skip this 10) Click OK and OK to close those windows and now go back to the CMD prompt and type in ipconfig/all
skip this 11) As you will see, the IP has changed!!!

IP Burger - What is my IP Address? Find Your IP Address! and see if the number is different
12) Now this is the COOL part, you can copy that information (you will need IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and the DNS Servers) and mark it down for one of your eBay accounts.....When you want to go back to that IP, you just go back to the properties section of the Internet Protocal (TCP/IP) and type in all of that information that you wrote down...BOOM....you are at that IP again (dont believe me, then go to Find My IP Address - Lookup)
13)You can easliy switch between IPs this way and you dont even have to unplug the modem!!!!
