Activity: 0% Longevity: 84% | | Do you need to change your IP Address every time you switch user accounts?
Hi there, one thing I don't get about the Stealth Book. I am going to have an ebay/paypal account for one user, and another paypal account for another user account for my website.
I can change my IP Address via my router by changing the MAC address, but do I need to do this EVERY time I log onto a different user account on my pc? It seems very drawn out. Is there a way to combat this?
Sorry if the answer is simple.

Yes it is very essential to make sure you change your Ip for each user, they have to be different for each user, because you said it yourself each windows user account has an assigned ebay/paypal account.
You do not want interchange the same ip with separate user accounts it all has to be separate. (Dont Share Ips)
Keep a nice little log of ips and when you used them(if you do get a duplicate)
keep track by searching within the doc by using the Find option

keep track by searching within the doc by using the Find option | I've recently started keeping everything on an XL spread - I cannot remember who suggested it but it was on this forum - and I simply sort the column of IPs numerically and check every time - I've not had a duplicate yet and once I've finished transferring everything on to one machine I shall be running 5 accounts.
I get through 20 or more IPs a day

Thanks so much guys. I just read somewhere that there was someway to designate an IP for each user account on your pc, so you don't have to constantly change it 40 times a day. But I guess you can't then.
Only asked because there are 6people in my family, so fiddling with the IP address all day is going to be quite disruptive to them.
Maybe I should keep my ebay business and my website business all on the same user account, as they are related to the same niche.

buy a dongle,much simpler,you dont have to mess about with the mac address,you just log off one windows user account and onto the next,your ip will change each time.
there are many deals out there,contracts or pay as you go,i use a 3mobile payg,cheap and cheerfull & works like clockwork.
good luck

With other people in your house being affected by you changing your IP constantly, I would agree with what GTB suggested.

20 or more Ips ? Wow your going in..lol Glad to see everything is going good, You just sort by numbers and not name?
You grasped it quick...Nice to see when people actually listen to the high ups..lol
@ the OP, To be able to switch back to the same IP you changed it from it has to be switched back within a 12-24 time period. Its not guaranteed but it increases your chances like 99 percent more It always worked for me when I was with cablevision.
Then I switched to fios trying to save money and I got screwed because with that actiontec router/modem, Ips only get changed by disconnecting router for 2-4 hours... not bad but not for me..... I need it changed with a snap of a finger....Which 4g does for me... I could never get the same IP again but I never delete Flash objects, Cookies Or History.
snap snap....lol

I'm with BT and I simply push the reset button. By time I've got the next user account open it has reset.
I do keep account names and IPs used but I would only worry if I got a duplicate.
I think it was ShadyOne said IP alone was not enough to bring attention down upon you and I operate very very deep ste alth on all of my accounts.
I guess I must be lucky with my ISP |

same here - put the excel spreadsheet into the "startup" folder, when you turn pc on and select a user i.d. the xls opens automatically, take the i.p. addy from IPBurger (cut and paste), quick search for duplicate then save the xls. As GT says, by the time you reset the modem and logout, log back into the next user i.d. and the modem has reset.

I made a separate user acct on my mac notebook & when i went to the new acct that i'm going to solely use for stealth, it has the same ip address as my other main acct.
i thought creating another user on my computer would give me another ip address for that account. how can i fix this? i have searched but no luck
thanks

^^ Try resetting your router/modem.
Changing your user prof does not automatically change your IP address.

You said it. Change the Ip each time you log into a new user account
No you don't have to clean the cookies and flash as well. But you can.
(I recommend you don't)
About cleaning cookies and flash objects- Ebay/Paypal just doesn't like it. It would look like you keep logging in from different locations, ESPECIALLY if your IPs rotate. (which like 99% do)

I have 3 other computers in my household for my siblings. Do they need to clear the flash/cookies on their pcs too? They don't intend on using ebay/paypal anymore (after i warned them not to lol).
It's only from my pc where paypal/ebay will be used.
Also, one thing about the Stealth Book. I have a very old hotmail address where my suspended ebay account was used. Can I not use it anymore? I obviously won't use it for ebay/paypal purposes, but would like to keep it for general use. Is this still ok? Or could ebay still track it?

one eb & pp account = one windows user account
dont have two sets of eb & pp on the same windows user account
it will get you linked! plus you dont have to worry about deleting cookies,and eb love cookies,so if you turn without an offering of cookies they will be upset:(
also always change,check & take note of the new ip before you log into a different eb,pp account.
this is the most efficient way to do it,
THIS IS HOW WE DO IT! BAYBE

you can still use that email address,just not for a new eb & pp,
also if you used that email address for eb & pp before and they send you an email,do not click on any links, images or anything in that email,
other than that its ok!

I don't know what your budget is, but using different internet providers per ebay/pp account could help:
Account #1 (Tethering)
Account #2 Dialup
Account #3 Dongle
Get what I am saying?????
