ip solution for a bought account

sagitt · #1 03-02-2014

Hello,
I recently bought an eBay account, but the ip is from another state,
What is a solution for this so I won't raise red flags from eBay if I access it from my home state?
Any way to trick my ip?
Thanksss

Go to wallsmart and buy a $30 netgear wifi router. This should give you a diff IP unless you have a Static IP. I have time warner, and I swap out routers. Very simple. Unplug cable modem, unplug wifi router, wait a few secs, plug in cable modem, wait till cable modem has reset (usually the lights will stop flashing), plug in wifi router. Go to IPBurger.com to verify that you have a new IP.

I have bought over 10 accounts all from other states and I never had to trick my ip to log in I use one Verizon usb stick with all accounts and some of the accounts being going for almost a year without any problems.

I use different state IP for my US accounts so that the IP will show up as different state origin - keeping cookies in place for each account...I have had no issues to date.

agree with those above, I have accounts in almost every state and have never had an issue

IP does not have to be in the same state

Ebay looks for user account and cookies

Should have no problems

Just a side note, people need to stop using the phrases... "Hide IP", "Mask IP", "Trick" when it comes to IP's. We don't do any of these things....

As Greenie pointed out....IP's can be in other States, Ebay knows IP's can originate in other cities or states.

Agreed. The most important thing is that eBay recognizes you through their Cookies and Flash Cookies.

Oh cool,
so I just make a brand new user account on my windows, change the mac address on my router and so the IP, and I am good to log in into my new bought account?
thanks

As long as you get some ebay/pp cookies and Fresh IP, make sure you log IP's.

Has that IP already been used before?

I would be very careful there.

Let us know please.

brand new ip with brand new pc user account

So should I browse around eBay and PayPal on this new IP before logging into my new bought account?
Thanks

Browsing history is saved on the account, not the IP.
