OMG!!! Logged in via banned IP
 

So i'm having a E-nervous breakdown right now

I've had a squeaky clean account for 5 months now, no flags, no limitations, 100% feedback, projected top rated selling perfumes (below £15 each). (New Private VPN IP, name, bank, number etc)

6-7 months ago, 2 old accounts of mine (Home IP) were banned permanently for being linked to an old account of mine which was also banned 2 years ago (Home IP) because of rookie mistakes (negative feedback)

My Old standard home IP address has a few banned accounts from over the years

I had just woken up today and wasnt thinking straight, i thought i had enabled the VPN software and logged into Paypal, after my balance came up, immediately realizing the VPN software wasnt on, i figured out i had just logged in to my stealth Paypal with my Home IP.. i turned my PC off and sat there for a few minutes shaking my head.

For 1-2 minutes, i had logged into my paypal account (UK) with my IP address that has a few banned accounts associated with it...

Ive had the account on stealth for 5 months with no problems and i cant believe this stupid mistake might cost me everything

Its been 6 hours so far and nothing has happened as of yet...

Will this get me banned? how long does it usually take?

:uk:

One time is fine, just don't ever do it again.

Re: OMG!!! Logged in via banned IP
 

from your experience or any one elses, has anybody ever done something like this and gotten away with it?

What would the success rate be?

From my experience Ebay will link and put limit on your account. Ebay will not suspend your existent account. I've had the same issue one day....:( .. I had limit 350 item, ebay lowered it down to 15 item...its sucks ....lol

Dont stress once is fine, as you need more than that to make your account at risk.

Here, someone else had the same today... http://www.aspkin.com/forums/ebay-di...h-failure.html

Did you ever prove the link was the reason?

Most sad to happen.

I feel for you.

I wouldn't lose sleep over one time....not good to do on a regular basis....but iMO, you'll probably be fine.

Re: OMG!!! Logged in via banned IP
 

You should be fine, but either way stressing wont help, if it gets limited, then lesson learned and I'm sure it would help you remember to never do it again. But good luck, hopefully nothing bad happens!

Pretty rubbish if you checked your account using a friends WiFi whilst visiting and didn't realise they were banned.

That would be my answer to eBay should you have problems, might get you out of the **** if your account is otherwise okay.

Welcome to the forums - one time is unlikely to affect you.

Now is the time to learn stealth and build backup accounts

IPs are consistenly used over and over again the world over. Luckily every location around the globe has its own small pool of addresses. Called Geolocation IP. There are only a very finite number of these addresses each of which is designated to a WAN. Sooner or later the address space will become completely exhausted. The advent of IPv6 will mitigate this and when adopted en-masse you can guarantee that the uniqueness of an IP will become even more imperative.
