IP ADDRESS clarification(new in stealth guide)
 

Hi, I just purchased the stealth guide and i have some confusions/questions with regards to IP address section.

As said in the guide, "ebay and pp records ur ip address EVERYTIME u log in"
and
"please note you only need to change ip address once and not everytime you login to the same ebay/pp acct, u only need to change ur IP between different ebay and pp acct to prevent linking"

I am confuse. please do enlighten me.

1)How often do i change the IP?

2) if i have 3 different accounts (in 3 different usernames in the computer), does that mean that everytime i open one user account i have to change my IP first before loggin in into ebay/pp?

3) so if I use the 3 accounts in one day, i have to change my IP address EVERYtime I use one?

4)Will it not raise any flags to Ebay/PP for frequent changing of IP in a day?

thankyou very much for any help you could give me.

1 - Depends on your IP type and ISP. Yours looks to be static which makes it a bit trickier to change IP address. Dongles and phone tethering would be a really good alternative.

2 - Yes, need to change IP between eBay accounts. You also need to keep track of your IP address.

3 - Yes

4 - No, so long as cookies are in place your fine.

If you run more than one account, you need to have a new IP address for each account and to keep a log of the IPs used.

Learn a bad word LINK

Avoid linking.

Thanks so much for your reply.
Im with TalkTalk and honed them they said i have a dynamic IP. changes everytime i reset the router.
Do I also need to change my Mac Address? coz i dont seem to know how to change it. my ISP said i have to phone my laptops manufacturer for it.

thanks again:thumb:

I know that's why i am making sure i wont fall in any pitfalls this time.
One more things bothering me is the Mac ADDRESS with my ip address.
do i really need to change it? or changing ips and different user account would do the trick?

thanks

Good, having a dynamic IP address makes everything a lot easier.

No need to chance the MAC address, just make sure you track the IP address and follow all the stealth rules.

Use the link in my signature to help track your IP :thumb:

GREAT THANKYOU SO MUCH!!

i thought i have to follow the guide as it is. :s

one more thing, but i dont know if i have to open a new thread for this.. but,

can i still use my computer lets say i use one user account just to open my
limited paypal and paypal (that still working) that was used in a suspended ebay acct, but im currently using for personal use?
as i still have outstanding balance there that i need to keep track to. will i get linked?:confused:

thanks again

So long as you keep eBay accounts separate using separate user accounts and make sure you track your IP address its fine to use the same computer for multiples accounts.

Re: IP ADDRESS clarification(new in stealth guide)
 

Ah, here's the really neat news!!! Being able to change your IP & having different user accounts saves you from doing that mac address change.

( it's a bit techo techo to do ;) )

Seems you are looking ahead well .

Well Done.

With regards to changing your router's MAC address, it's simply another (optional) way to force an IP change if you are one of the unlucky few that has issues with your IP changing.

I personally change my router's MAC address to change IPs. It's fast and works. If what you're doing works for you then you're set. :)

Aspkin,
When I first bought your stealth guide, I too used to change the mac address via my router. However it does not allow me to do that anymore. Do only certain router work for this? If so can you recommend one?
If not I am doing something wrong. I use a Belkin router

Re: IP ADDRESS clarification(new in stealth guide)
 

Have you looked into a dedicated mac ip server for each account? makes keeping track of my accounts way safer and ip address stays the same for each account.

Re: IP ADDRESS clarification(new in stealth guide)
 

There are far less cheaper methods.....

Re: IP ADDRESS clarification(new in stealth guide)
 

Please can you explain some of the other methods I could use then?

Re: IP ADDRESS clarification(new in stealth guide)
 

Just get a dynamic IP provider e.g. dongle, cellphone tethering, or so - change IP every time you log in and track to make sure you don't overlap

Re: IP ADDRESS clarification(new in stealth guide)
 

Phone tethering and dongles are good solid cheaper methods for stealth
