Do i need to format my PC to use my eBay account ?
 

Do i need to format my PC to use my eBay stealth account ? I don't like having to swap users everytime i want to check my eBay. Currently running one stealth account. What should I do ?

Make a new user account and work with the new account there

Thanks, that’s what i am doing but i don’t want to do that anymore so in order to operate my account do i have to format my pc ?

If you have one eBay account, you do not need to re-format your computer or create new user accounts.
One user account is sufficient per ebay account.

You'd do well to read the stealth guide. It would teach you the basics of stealth.

Thank you very much. I formatted my PC anyway because i was too scared of losing my account. Just one question: Turning on my VPN only when i am using my account will be safe enough? I mean, my data won't be collected by eBay when i'm normally browsing in other websites ? Or i should just use another browser for eBay

Nothing to worry about, just follow this tutorial.

Thank you but my account got suspended after I formatted and logged from a brand new browser, i don't know what happend... i am thinking it was because i didn't have cookies , i hope it wasn't because they linked my account with any other suspended account that I had. What do you think about it ?

1. It shouldn't have been an issue when yo uformatted the PC even though it wasn't recommended to format it in the first place.

2. It could also be your VPN provider. I don't know who you use, but if it's not a provider like IPburger chances are it's that.

I did not havecthe money to use IPBurger , i am in Colombia and a dedicated IP for my country was too expensive. I made a new account using NORD and this time the account never got suspended, not even after listing the first item, it only got restricted for verification. I am going to move to a new house very soon and i will get a new residential IP but it will be in a different city than the VPN . If my account survives, changing my IP will also cause me troubles ?

Re: Do i need to format my PC to use my eBay account ?
 

NOrd is known to cause a problem honestly. Like I said majority of providers out there don't cater to stealth accounts.

If you're making a USA account, you really have no choice but to use IPburger, it's the safest since it's catered specially for stealth.

Hmmm.... changing your IP as long a it's in the same country should be ok.

I just like to be very consistent with everything I do and use.

No just new browser AND NEW IP

More than just this for proper stealth

the most important is ip and cookies
