IP address question - How different does it have to be?
Hi,
I'm in Country X. Ebay just got me for being linked to a suspended account.
I was in Country Y and I had 2 accounts. One got suspended in February which had more than $800 of unpaid fees. Of course as a portion of them were for sales I was never able to receive payment for and listings I had made, I thought screw that I won't pay.
I had used account #2 from the same IP and then when I moved back here, I started acc #3 and now they have gone back through their records, linked #2 to #1 and now 2 and 3 are both suspended too.
My IP when I checked today was
XXX.XXX.32.90
It's probably been that for a long time as I never turn off the adsl box or wireless router. Turns out it's not fixed. I reset the box and the IP is now
XXX.XXX.33.81 (where X was the same in both cases)
Are those different enough not to get caught? If I start a new account with cookies cleared and change paypal email am I safe?
Thanks in advance
