Are Gmail accounts a liability?

[empire1969]

I checked out a youtube video that urges stealth account holders to avoid Gmail email accounts at all cost because they use some sort of beacon tracker that ebay has access to, enabling them to trace multiple accounts on the same machine.

Anyone know anything about this?

As long as you have the images disabled on all your gmail accounts you should be fine!

Disable images and your fine

Woah - this is real? I went to settings>general>"ask before displaying external accounts" ...is this sufficient?

So ive logged into banned gmail accounts while on ebay.
Is this sufficient to be flagged?

99.99999% of email host use beacons. Not sure if I would trust some YouTube video with my stealth needs...stick to the forum.

Ive been using gmail on pretty much every single accounts Ive created over the last several years - and created a LOT of accounts.
Never had an issue with any account - and of course that's because I disable the images.
