EBAY emails - opening , using , getting tracked , issues / non-issues

Actually, ebay will link the accounts once you list. Once they see the person's name on the paypal address is the same as the name on the paypal address of a previously banned account, that's how u get linked. Once you list, they have all the info they need. Most likely nothing will happen to your paypal account for now...but you'll lose the new ebay account u made within 2 days.

Add this to your "Never Do This" list.
After you get a limitation/suspension, do no not write into trust and safety. I was limited, unable to list. Wrote into trust and safety. Was reinstated a few days later, then today about a week after i sent my email in, i have been suspended. It is funny how the suspension comes RIGHT after he sent out his reply to my message, basically saying sometimes we limit accounts, because we can.
So I wonder how much longer the account would be active if I hadent sent that email in.

Yeah, that's up there on things not to do. :(

A email on a suspended account from a year ago saying things like it was reinstated?

yeah never email them or open their emails. I think its funny they will send you emails months after your account is suspended. Baiting you to open it so they can track you.

does anyone know how i can retrieve the complete header for an email from my gmail account? i need to send it to ebay to report a threatening buyer.

**aspkin** · #73 03-31-2008

1. Log in to your Gmail account.
2. Open the message you'd like to view headers for.
3. Click the down arrow next to Reply, at the top-right of the message pane.
4. Select Show original.

Now your worried about web beacons lol When I was saying they are a problem you said they had been ruled out. Anyways Ill add my 2-cents Gmail works as well as AOL 9.0 SE as long as you dont click the link at the top of the page that says "show Immages & Enable Links"

Hi,
I've just received an email from paypal to a gmail account,
and replied to it without thinking, then realised I replied
without changing my IP.
I'm thinking the email header just lists the IP of the smtp
server, and not that of the client.
Does anyone know otherwise ?

Kleidis · #76 06-20-2008

But if I read the forum rather than ask questions, I miss out on personal replies
from you lovely people..

**aspkin** · #77 06-21-2008

Lol, Kleidis you'll be fine.

You CAN actually get the sender IP from an email, even through Google Mail. But I doubt PayPal will check each and every IP from every email they receive.

HairyOldEbayer · #79 06-21-2008

I did a test today using Gmail. Using a program called eprompter (multiple account email checker) and also by sending a reply from a logged in Gmail account itself. Both email headers show the from google IP rather than my "bad, bad dog" IP.

fxbear · #80 06-22-2008

could you please tell me how or point me where it is described?
The only method I am aware of is the beacon one (small pic in the html email) - but this feature (showing pics in email) is turn off by default in gmail.

Thanks very much for your answer!

Its your 1st post and you want to know how to get an IP from an email? You're not an eBay monkey by chance? :D

oyeBay · #82 06-24-2008

Hi, not meaning to hijack this thread.. but have a question as I have been receiving harassing emails from a gmail account..

If I send an email from a gmail account to another gmail account, can someone who works at Verizon track the IP just from having the email address I sent it from? Or can they track other things such as the originating computer/address????

I know gmail is a public server and from looking online I cant seem to find the "from IP"... all im basically asking, what can the internet companies trace?

thanks

I was suspended from Ebay a few months ago. I bought the Stealth Book, but I have a question.

I know that Ebay links to Paypal, but I have an issue now.

I had about 4 different emails attached to my Paypal account.. One of the email addresses I was using is for a completely different business (never used it with Ebay).

What I want to do is close this Paypal account altogether and open a new one (following the instuctions in the book).

If I add on the email address I use for my other business to the new account, could that link me up again? I plan to delete this email address with my current account before I delete it. Would that make a difference?

Yes from my experience in the past. I highly recommend just registering on Gmail or Yahoo with a new email address for the new paypal account. Is that address really that important? I personally would not risk it. Good luck!

writeme2011 · #85 07-21-2008

No, I guess it's not that important.. I was just wondering..

Is there a big difference from what paypal fees are taken out of a Personal account and what's taken out of a Merchant account?

I had another email I used for iTunes (and the money was taken out of paypal with that email address). My iTunes account has my name on it and I think they check to see if I have the same name on Paypal.

HI:, Write:
YEs-But Paypal is owned by Ebay, SO...
Youve got to get a completely different PP acct, everything diff than before..
Maybe your mom will let u use hers??

writeme2011 · #87 07-21-2008

Ok, no problem.. I can change my email address for my other business and have everything on the new ebay & paypal account different.

So, with iTunes, if I put in a new email address on that account and it's linked to paypal, will that cause a problem (since I have the same iTunes account) or should I not link that to paypal at all?

whistlerbud · #88 07-24-2008

Hi guys just a quick question.
When I get questions about my items, can I answer them through my gmail account from any computer as long as I put the default as Basic Html?I just do not like having to always dial up and enter my account to answer every question.Can ebay track you this way and do I always have to answer the question using the corresponding windows user account or can I use any account as long as I click onto e-mail while it is in basic HTML?Thanks.
