Paypal/ebay not linking...but they should Dear All, I've read many guides about PP and ebay behavior, especially with regards to fingerprinting your IP/OS/etc and subsequently linking your stealth accounts and catch you. Implementing various solutions is essential and works well, until you forget something or they tweak their bots.
But I came across something that nullifies whatever learned so far and I'd like your opinion.
I access my stealth ebays/PP from different internet points/cafes around town. Initially I did it because I didn't have a connection at home, later on to keep stealth.
Now: when I access Paypal, sometimes the email of another user appears on the PP home page. Obviously somebody else checks his account from the same PC and IP. So why PP doesn't link the two and the many other users of the internet cafe, as the fingerprinting is the same for all? I started accessing ALL my PP accounts from the same machine, and nothing happened.
Does PP know it's an internet cafe, so PCs are considered public? Or in certain countries PP fingerprinting is less accurate?
Moreover, when I check my IP at my vacation home, using ipburger.com, it appears as the provider's HQ in Bangkok, 500 km away.
So the procedures to keep stealth apparently are all unnecessary. But I suppose as soon as a transaction will occur between these accounts, they will be linked and busted.
Any thoughts on the above?
