Have you ever got linked due to similar IP?

I have two accounts, with which I made a mistake. I logged into the first one when I was connected to the VPN dedicated to the 2nd one.

So I think eBay logged it that the same IP address was used by those two accounts.

The accounts share no similarity, but selling in the same category.


I am not worried about suspension at all, because none of the two had been banned. I am worried about the accounts being linked and thus selling limits will be shared


What are your thoughts on this?

Accounts generally don't get banned or linked by IP alone- it's that along with some other factor(s) that might sink you.

What if the IP fact is coupled with selling in the same category?

Its unlikely to cause you any issues

Just make sure there are no other links.

Any other experiences/thoughts?

You are unlikely to get banned sharing the same IP address alone.

Even so, it's best to maintain a fair amount of separation- this is one of the cornerstones of stealth.

Don't get lax with your setup. It's easy to make mistakes when operating multiple accounts. I have made a ton and try not to repeat them.
