2 stealth accounts

[gohard]

Hello everyone,

so I am operating 2 stealth accounts from the same PC but on 2 different web browsers. I use google chrome for 1 account and internet explorer for the other. I even use a mobile hotpsot and never share the same IP address for each account.

Will papypal or ebay be able to link both accounts if I am using 2 different web browsers ?

[slokor]

Yep. You can get linked.
Youre using two separate web browsers but the flash cookies are NOT separate. Those can get you linked.
Why don't you just do the simple and easy thing - use separate windows user accounts? its such a simple solution for this problem and is so much safer...

[gohard]

Shoot! how can i erase the flash cookies ? Im sure its to late n i can potentially loose both accounts if they ever decide to do a cross reference against each other.. but how can i delete them either way ? Do i just do a delete all ?

[slokor]

No. a delete all does not delete the flash cookies which are separate from your browser history. And deleting the cookies is just as dangerous as keeping them.
Again - open 2 new windows user accounts. That way you get to keep ALL the cookies and flash cookies and everything is kept separate. Zero chance of getting linked and no suspicions from ebay/pp about your accounts not having any history due to you deleting the cookies and flash cookies.
Its a tiny bit more extra work but totally worth it to maintain your accounts properly so don't be lazy about it or youll pay for it.

Brilliant advice

Get the stealth guide. Its pretty straight forward. You want to run multiple eBays on the same PC. You need to use different Windows user accounts.

What about using that app switch on an iPad. It supposedly keeps all files separate for each user on the app. I use an iPad and a separate dedicated Von also. I log in to the Von first then I use switch to go into the account I need to use at that time. Any suggestions or comments on those?

Also recommend checking out vmware, its like firefox except each tab is a new computer

iPads work great, as with everything else once an ebay/paypal app is used it is not advisable to use it again on any other user accounts on that iPad because there are likely some versions of beacons downloaded with the apps that will stay on and so could cause a link even if the apps appear to have been deleted

Firefox Portable is an easy option especially if using it correctly and once it is setup you're ready to go. Unfortunately keep creating new windows user accounts for me is just not feasible.

Making sure global flash settings are disabled and the correct boxes ticked you will have no issues.

As Slokor says, while you are new to stealth and getting setup definitely opt for the new windows users.

Where can you change global flash settings on a mac? People says its not possible to do anything about flash cookies

It's a safari add on I found, I will have to check to see what is called. It will not be found in preferences until Ya download the add on.

MikeJeffries - google 'Global Flash Settings' and click on the top Adobe link while on a MAC should work...then disable the settings.

For Mac users, according to this source, Chrome with the integrated Flash player enabled is the only way to keep flash cookies separate. Some commented about a test they did, and apparently even Firefox Portable shares flash cookies across user accounts.

Are flash cookies from different firefox profiles stored separately? - Super User

(link to adobe.com)
Here is more info on how to enable the integrated flash player in Chrome... Enable system Flash Player in Google Chrome | Windows | Mac

I have not tested any of this. It's just what i've found upon researching the subject. If anyone has any experience with this on a Mac, please correct me if I'm wrong!

Just disable flash cookies altogether and you will never need to worry about it.

Good point. That's done by setting the allowed disk space to "none" in the Flash Player Global Storage Settings Panel, correct?
