Manage Multiple Accounts - IP Related
 

Let's say I open 3 accounts using an internet dongle that gives different ips but from a small 255 ips range

1.2.3.xxx

my accounts will look like this:

account1: 1.2.3.10
account2: 1.2.3.90
account3: 1.2.3.140

What do I do after creating the accounts and wanting to use the ebay/paypal I've made?

I just connect and reconnect until I get the same ips I used for registration?

What do I do if I get other ips besides the 3 above? In the end they'll start repeating themselves since it's going to be a small pool of 255.

Honestly: If all accounts are completely isolated, different names, addresses, EVERYTHING.....It usually isnt a problem. Im also talking different inventory items, times you log in, all that....Ebay sees matching IPs all day long. Sometimes they may try to find similarities. Like if you logged off one account and then 1 minute later logged on to another, and they see a pattern often enough, then theyd check inventory etc. Logging IPs is just another way to keep accounts from being linked and lasting longer.

You dont need to keep using the same IP. But it is always nice not to have to worry about crossing IPs with other accounts
