Is my new stealth account busted?
 

Here's what happened today...
After I created a stealth account, I always logged in from a separate laptop, from which I never logged in to my old suspended ebay account. I used a mobile phone as a Wifi router to avoid using my home Wifi connection (which I use to log in to my suspended account- I still use that account for purchases, I'm only suspeneded from selling in one category, namely clothes).

Today my mobile Wifi connection got busted and the laptop automatically switched to my home Wifi which I forgot to switch off.. I used that wifi with the suspended account, so basically for one ebay page refresh at my stealth account I used the IP address associated with my suspended account.. Does that mean it's just the matter of time till the stealth account is suspended? Should I already begin the proccess of creating a new stealth ebay account and consider this one busted?
Is there a time span in which if my account prevails after this IP address sharing, I can forget about it? Help me out guys...

You should always have back up accounts exactly for reasons like this.
Your account may well be fine as its a one off but running a buisness with only one stealth is not good practice and nearly as silly as having a legit account.

you should be ok if its a one off

dont do it again

Thanks for your prompt anwsers guys!
Yes, I agree, it's time to get at least 2-3 more stealth accounts.
It's so damn hard to cash out from Paypal though, I think currently the only easy way is to ask your friends to share their data, create accounts for them and ask them to cash out every now and then.. such a hassle.. That's the reason why I have only one stealth.

But back to the subject- did anyone get their stealth account suspended after a SINGLE mishap like that?

I agree with one time only - unlikely to cause issues

I agree. You should be OK

I do not think it will be a problem.

Always double check this stuff before working.

Mistakes happen and we can move on.

Fun thing is having plenty of backups just in case.

No more worries if something happens.

Backups are always good idea :thumb: - Sandy_D is Queen of the Backups
