Do I need to change my IP everytime log onto one of my multiple ebay accounts?
 

I use IE to browse, and firefox ONLY for Ebay and Paypal.

When I log on to my different ebay and paypal accounts, I always unplug my modem so that I can get a new IP address so that I am not tracked.

Is this necessary in order to keep my ebay accounts seperate from one another?

Or, can I just log in to my ebay and paypal accounts as long as I use seperate firefox accounts.


ALSO, do i need to clear my cookies and lso's everytime I enter or exit my firefox browser or is that no longer necessary since I have multiple firefox accounts and use IE for browsing?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I highly suggest you get the stealth guide.. It will make your life A LOT eaiser.


You need a separate user account for each ebay/pp set. That will keep cookies and flash cookies separate. Yes you need to change your ip when switching between accounts, even with separate user accounts.

You don't always need to change it every time.... you need to keep a log of ip addresses used and notate which account it was used... you don't want to share one ip address among accounts. If the accounts get linked, they will both go down when one goes down.

Correct you only need to change ip when switching between accounts...

you dont need to delete cookies etc because you have different windows user accounts for each eb & pp:)
keep a record of ip addresses for each account so you know if a new ip has been used for a different account
get stealth too,best to read it a few times and let it become second nature,this makes life much easier

Anybody have thoughts on this idea? I'm looking to save time when I'm switching from all my different accounts. What about some software that mimic's having several different routers. Then with this software you could just create profiles for each of your stealth accounts and all of them have different mac addy's . So then you just click on the profile then possibly create a hot-key to do a ipcofig release(instead on unplugging your modem each time). Has this been created or is there something easier out there.

If I purchased 2 new ip address off the companies who advertise for around $50 a year will that work and save me a lot of hassle of running two ebay accounts and having to change over and keep ip records the whole time?

Honestly if your only running 2 accounts your better off filling out a trialpaly offer and buying the stealth book for 27 bucks, and you won't need to buy Ip's. That's a savings of 13 dollars. Take that 13 bucks buy 2 energy drinks and a pack of smokes and setup 2 more ebay accounts Free.

Smokes...energy drinks...Webyweb, you are condoning garbage ha but all good.

Reading that stealth guide TWICE is always suggested for NOOBS to the stealth game.

He's in the UK, if he's operating a USA account he may be forced to purchase a vpn.

I run both UK and US accounts.

And I spend both time in the us and uk.

I sell with my US account also on ebay in the UK

Very Complicated!

I need to access the accounts when I am traveling so I need a good setup.

I have an account suspended with 20k feedback over ten years for too many 1/2's I hate ebay!

I can log into my pc in the states using log me in that should work ok.

Any ideas, have to say this site is a great.

Hire someone to install OpenVPN on an Xen Linux VPS. You will need to do a little research if you are unsure.

Webyweb, the stealth book is FREE with TrialPay.

Hmmm interesting I only got a 10 dollars discount .

After some more research, I haven't been to lucky find this service so I set out to make my own. I'm writing a little of my own script combined with something that is already out there and should be done soon. This neat little .bat file will allow you to set up endless profiles each assigned with there own Mac address, and with 2 clicks of the mouse it will change your Mac address to a saved profile, or a random mac address and reset your modem. If anybody is interested in me posting this when I'm done let me know.

The link in Aspkin's signature will get you it for free. :)

It depends what offer you get with trial pay. You also have the option to purchase outright.

that's interesting webyweb, let us know how it comes out

I don't think it depends on offer, as soon as you click the TrialPay link it says
Regularly: $37.00
Now: $0.00

Before you even pick an offer. Either way if it's free, $27 or $37 we all know it's worth every bit of it! :)

I wish I knew about switching IP addresses, I would'nt have lost 5 2-year old accounts with at least 70 + feddbacks on each DAMN!!!

hello there, same question here. am new to this site, its GREAT. I have same question. If i set up for instance, 4 new accounts, each time I log on, do I have to change IP between accounts. I have bought the Stealth Guide, it is awesome but cannot get to grips with the IP, I dont want to make a mistake as I cannot afford to. Am pretty desperate to get up and running again. LL.

LadyLeedsUK, Did you read the thread you posted in? It answers your question.. Yes you need to change your ip when switching between accounts.
