Ready to go back on eBay IP question please
 

Hello everyone now I'm almost ready to go back on eBay have a friend who wants me to open an account for him so I've been given all his details for PayPal & eBay but one thing I need help with please.

And it's about my IP address I obviously need this changing because I was suspended.

Now which would be the best option?

1)Phone and ask my IPS to change it? and if I do this what reason do I give them for why I want it changing?

2)Change my ISP?

3)Get a dynamic IP? Why & how?

4)Change my IP address myself? If yes how?

Any other suggestions would be appreciated thanks.

Who is your ISP now?

How computer savvy are you?

You got even avoid that by getting a dongle

Depends :suspicious:

Sign up with BT

(Love your forum name!!)

ISP is Virgin Media

Computer savy not to good

Dongle would only mean more expense

Thanks yeah Rossi is number 1 on a crap bike.

Not getting much help here people what are your thoughts best option for me?

1)Phone and ask my IPS to change it? and if I do this what reason do I give them for why I want it changing?

2)Change my ISP?

3)Get a dynamic IP? Why & how?

4)Change my IP address myself? If yes how?

As stated - change your ISP to BT. The home router changes your IP at the press of a button. Personally I wouldn't use any other provider - not because I'm a devotee of BT - but because it gives me what I need to do business.

Thanks GrannyT I think I will do this.

One thing before I do I've been with BT in the past with the eBay account I lost will this be an issue?

No

:pop2:

Great and if you don't mind why will it not be an issue will I be given a different IP address than original?

You will get a different IP when ever you push the reset button.

When I'm partying hard I can get through 20 or 30 a day

I see so that's why you use BT.

You got it:thumb:

Just signed up will be up and running end of the month :D

After you got given the BT option, all your bases were covered. What more did you want that was not too complicated? :juggle:

Have an excel sheet with all your info, including password, DOB, secret questions. Use ipburger.com to check your IP. That might not be necessary for one account but it's a good practice in case you ever decide to have more.:pop2:

I know i may sound dumb with this question. But what is BT? Is this a UK only thing?

BT = British Telecom - UK and Ireland only
