What is the Verdict on ebay/ paypal email tracking?
So what is the current (2014) verdict on eBay and Paypal email tracking? Is it possible to be link from just opening (not clicking any links) and reading a eBay / Paypal email?
I follow everything in the guide, but the guide did not cover this matter. I use separate windows account for all my accounts and change the ip address everytime while keeping a ip log. But I log into the my different gmail account from whatever computer such as my phone, not really being too careful because I know google does not share info with eb/pp so it should be safe. So then while reading a automatic eBay email on an item sold on a different email account than the one that's used for the eBay mail I was reading, I noticed the eBay images and then had a "oh sh*t" moment. I then thought maybe eBay can link you just by tracking you through the email (using cookies or beacon, or whatever fancy methods) you open and read. ps: I very careful not to click on any links in the email, so I am safe on that part.
So what's the verdict on this? Should I be worried?
