Mobile tethering - how do you know IP address isn't banned?
Let's say I use mobile tethering to connect.
Let's assume I am one of the many innocents that evil eBay has banished for no good reason.
I connect and get IP address 192.192.50.50 (just made that up).
5 miles away, evil 'ebaymobster' who has sold drugs and bombs and guns, makes pornography, eats mushrooms and does many other disgusting things... he logs in as well using tethering. By sods law, he gets IP address 192.192.50.50.
Does this 'clever' eBay now connects both IDs and banishes once more?
But then, 100 others could be connecting as well. Surely super clever eBay can't then banish everyone?
