Made a booboo. Logged into suspened account w/ new IP but OLD cookies. Toast?
 

I use a password software and clicked on my old account by mistake and it logged me in before I was able to press stop:doh:
It was under new IP and new computer, but the same window and cookies that I logged into my new account with few days ago.

The new account is under a siblings name with different info(adress, phone etc) it was SSN verifed few days ago but got limited for ordering the Paypal debit card using address different than her credit file(or I think thats why) They're asking for Photo ID and Proof of residence.
Its been an hour and so far nothing has happened. But I'm pretty sure they're gonna link them. Found a similar thread here but the bozo never updated so I thought I'd open a new thread and actually "update" with what happens.
Thanks

You been on it for an hour? Or you catch yourself and log off?

1 time you might be ok - only time will tell.

time will tell, if account goes down soon, it may be a problem, if goes down 2 years down the line, doubt its an issue.........

No I immediately closed the window and cleared the computer. Almost wanted to grab the laptop and throw it out the window lol.. monkey instincts

I'll buy that laptop for a buck =P

Ha - no but really, don't worry and don't repeat above all. Don't be sloppy!

I would suspect they are linked. IP and cookies and you actually logged in to old account... You never know. But I would be cautious on the account to say the least.

why don't you people use virtualbox fresh installs for new paypal accounts? that way you'll never have to worry about cookies, and paypal cannot link you, not even with mac address... You can even install another kind of op.systems...

No IP was not the same. I didnt even need to log into the old account I "auto filled" it by mistake. But yea since it was the computer I was using the new account on without clearing cookies or anything I'm pretty sure they'll eventually link it.

No need for that, separate windows user accounts do the trick and keep everything separate, without running multiple ram hogging VM's

Just a quick update, while I made this boo boo I was already limited and was working on sending in proof of address and photo ID. Sent those 2 in a few days later and account is back to normal. Might have dodged the bullet but with these guys you never know.

I may just be the dumbest person alive. I was going to change the adress on the new ebay account and it asked me to enter my login info, quess what I did? yep, using the automatic password software I logged in with the suspended account AGAIN.
Ever wanna grap a baseball bat and crack your own skull? cause thats exactly what I wanna do right now.. I deserve to loose this account.

Let us know when it goes down, see if their linking abilities are still up to scratch.
