iphone ebay /pp app help
 

i was just wondering cause people say that they track the device ID,

well i had an old account on my iphone 4 now i have the iphone 5..

i changed the email address with itunes months ago...

changed the device name..

the only thing i was worried about is them getting the phone number from my phone..

just wondering about paypal also... and i was trying to think of how to delete the app from my phone so that i can redownload it with out any problems.. cause right now it says install where it may still have saved on the phone somewhere...

thanks for any help

Ebay, Paypal can't get your number.

Don't use ANY Ebay/Paypal Apps, If you are running several accounts you should use a browser.

Follow the same procedures when using a PC/MAC.
1. Change IPs and log them
2. Clear cookies, history
3. Suggest you get a browser called "Atomic Web", works perfect with stealth.

Avoid PayPal and Ebay application

Okay,

Theres ways to delete all information from Paypal or eBay apps or any apps you decide. First, your iphone needs to be jailbroken, and download iFile app from cydia, head to /var/mobile search for the application, which should be assigned a ID number, deleted and move to preferences were data is also stored.

Applications cannot have access to your phone or contacts, it may have access to ip/Mac address/location/strings stored before by websites. Clean your webkit folder, cache, cookies fro the var/mobile/ folder.

You can be completely stealth by downloading apps from cydia, like LocSpoof, iCleaner, Macx4, or Terminal.

There other apps that may help you, like tetherMe to help you flush a new ip address or tether your wireless devices. In all you will have to jailbreak your device and you may to be organized everyday.

would i need to worry about this... if i have changed my phone, my email with itunes... and renamed my phone..

when i go to app store it says install not free like its a new app and i'm worried that there may be flash cookies on the phone now even though its new...

i really like to use the app over the browser.. its way easier

i'm just making sure i cover all my grounds before i start to use it...

and is there anything else i need to worry about...

same with the paypal app...

Unless your "iphone" ios is jailbroken I do not see a way for you to sucessfully do this. But take the advise from others here and avoid the apps as they have more access to your phone than browser kits and cookies.

Big concensus is NOT to use the apps.

what if i have a new device and i completely use a new itunes account for the new device, then they won't be able to see the flash cookies right.. it would be the same as i got an ipod touch and used a different iTunes account

Just do not use the ebay app.

Not hard to understand is it

:peace:

you can't upload photos to a listing with the browser the app makes it so simple to post from the iphone i use only iPhones and iPads to run all my accounts.

But when tons of wise people say dont use apps...what cant you follow? Anyhow, the ultimate decision rests with you - all the best.

Everyone has the right to do what they wish, we can only give advice...we're all adults and individually decide how to proceed.

Good Luck.

oh yes im not going to try to fight greenbean or mm78
Im just saying i use the ebay app and its been great for months i run all my accounts of different mobile devices all only on 3g so nothing is linking them so far tho.

Hey, no fighting here...just good ole conversation. Just a quick question, Do you take pics with your phone, then upload them with your ad?

If it works for you then dont deviate I guess - if it aint broke, dont fix it.

ok good, and i do take photos for all my listings and i do make sure there is a different background in each one so i cover my tracks :bounce:
