Also, how do Ebay view logging in to one user account if my Ip often changes?

if your IP changes big deal thats great, but the problem comes up when your IP changes to an old IP address that you got banned on thats the problem. it happened to me while setting up my router it came up with an old IP address I kept track of and got banned within a day.

will using a 2nd cable modem change a dynamic ip address? currently i unplug mine for 24 hrs and it changes...but I was looking for a quicker fix.

And I was wondering this, does ebay only use when you login to catch your IP? I mean, I have this IP masker but it is sloooow. Is it possible to login under a masked ip but then turn it off and continue doing my ebay business with my regular IP? Do they continually check your ip even after you log on?

I don't think logging in under a bunch of different Ips would raise a red flag because that is exactly what happens if you have dial-up, although that is going the way of the dinosaur

I just can't buy a modem and get it to work without getting it cleared thru my ISP 1st?

I thought of doing this because the cable company told me that if I used the USB port to connect to the internet with a PC it will change automatically each time because it will see it as a new device. I use a Mac and they said it will not work.

If you buy a new modem, you will obviously need to have your isp activate it.
As for the usb vs, lan connection I'm not sure because I thought that all cable modems had something embedded into the hardware that didn't allow for changing IPs. With SBC offering dsl at $15 a month, why wouldn't someone use an acount like this just for EB? I simply unplug my modem which is a DSL and get a new IP almost everytime

can i get dsl over my cable broadband phoneline?

no you need to have a landline (not sure if you need to also be a phone customer or not)
Not everyone can get DSL...it depends on how far you are from main switching stations

ok thank you

ip adress with wireless conexion
 

Hi everybody,
I just got suspended and i will try to open a new ebay account with new email and gift credit card. my question is what can I do about my ip adress because i use wireless conexion from different neighbourg and i cant ask them to change their Ip or to unplug their router overnight. I get 3 different ip adress, do you think that ebay registered all of them. aslo I runed 4 account and 3 of them are suspended 10 days ago, do you think that the last one can survive ?I got suspended because I have been linked with a old ac**** suspended 5 month a go. The only mistake I did is one day before the supension I checked my feedback in my old account (without register, just checked via advanced search by seler name!!!)
If anybody can help me about my ip adress....
thanks

Hello, Lupin the 3rddd, Lupin the 3rrrrd lol. Okay okay, about your wireless connection problem I don't know. The only option I see available is if you use one of those ip blocking sites such as Proxy Of Liberty - Free Proxy - Anonymous Proxy - Secure Proxy - Myspace Proxy - Orkut Proxy - Rapidshare Proxy - Megaupload Proxy . That should work for registration. And i'm 100% sure they didn't catch you because you searched for your seller name. The only way they would've caught you is if you logged back in to the suspended account or you had the same IP. I'm willing to bet it was the IP. Once you successfully make another ebay account, never under any circumstances go back to your old account. And check if your IP changed with this site Privax - Protecting Your Online Privacy.

Try using the AOL browser, that will give you a different IP than your neighbor's even though you are using his connection...neat huh?

the problem is though next connection you might be logged into the old IP address LOL.

I can't believe that you get booted strictly based on IP when they have to know they are commiunity numbers and are cycled. Have to be other factors as well with IP being one part of the puzzle.

OH THERE IS....address, name, etc...

Hi, I've instaled aol browser but I still get the same Ip, can you tell more about how and wich software I have to install.
TY

You have to click on the AOL icon on your desktop and it will give you a login screen which should have your info (I'm using my AOL email created exclusively for that particular EB account and the login info is the same for the addy). Just click on the sign on button and it runs itself from there.

Now go check you IP...

...this should work, does for me anyway.

I don't want to appear brash...but did you ever consider just gettin your own internet connection. then you will automatically get a new IP plus you WiILL have control to alter it.

That does seem like the ethical, obvious think to do.
I've only added input here in that it is relative to using wi fi hotspots to access.

but who wants to be ethical nowadays ;)

Keeping IP Changed
 

HI- I am still alittle confused.. any help would be apprec :)
LOg into aol as guest, ck ip.log out,
then back in as guest, ip stays same,
