Creating Backup Accounts: Does anyone make them with anything other than dial-up?

[Hottest_eBay_Goddess]

I was just wondering. I use dial-up to make mine, but was wondering if someone uses a different, faster method.

Thanks.

hi I use cable internet because dial-up is not available in my building. rogers has made all home phone digital around the whole area.

I find using dial up is much better and ebay can't track you so easy then but if you use cable modem or dsl..it may have a same ip address all the time in which ebay uses to track you. I think it is called a Static IP or dynamic where your ip constantly stays the same but with dial up your ip address constantly changes.

Another way is a VPN (virtual private network), gives you a new ip everytime you log in.

How much does VPN usually cost in the USA?

if you have wireless internet all you have to do is hit the reset button on your wireless router and BAM, new ip address

What about setting them up at Burger King, Starbucks, McDonalds, etc. Where there is free wifi?

If someone else happens to be using that as well and they get in trouble, your account could follow. I wouldn't recommend it.

I'm in a fairly small town of only about 30k..... but I guess it is possible. I know a lot of people on here use libraries and that's seems more risky to me.

I just connected my wireless router and modem to the outlet that the light switch is wired to in the room. Everytime I leave the room to take a break working between accounts I make sure I flip the switch off so when I return and turn it on I will have a Fresh IP address, switch user accounts and I'm good to go.

I just hate that you have to wait like 5-10 mins for it to configure your new IP address and get a new connection.

Or change the routers MAC address in settings... Cables MUCH better IMO. Just keep your accounts seperate

[lukeyangcn]

yeah I change router's MAC address. and I got a fixed ip associated to a MAC address 99% the time.

Anyone tried bell unplugged portable internet or rogers portable internet? do you get a new ip everytime yo connect? or still need to change MAC address ?

thanks.

If I were you people I would stop the wirless mac router ip change. After all my accounts I have some linking still out of 5, 2 get linked and banned cause I did that. I used up all my ip's. But thats just 32842309489234 accounts banned

You do know that a VPN is not a proxy right ?
You do know that some of the biggest companies in the world use VPN's for their staff to securely log into their accounts from around the world right ?



I am awaiting my ban and this post being deleted by Modee, the self proclaimed guru of ebay...LMFAO :D

[yaw1800]

im not saying his insults are justified, but he's right about the IP/Mac info .. but i dont know where Modee made a mistake on this either ..

EVERYONE SHOULD REMEMBER THOUGH, WE ARE ALL HERE FOR THE SAME CAUSE, SO LET'S HONE OUR NEGATIVITY TOWARDS EBAY/PAYPAL AND NOT AGAINST EACH OTHER

[aspkin]

I agree with Yaw1800. This is a place to learn about eBay suspensions and Paypal limited accounts. We can disagree with other members and I wholeheartedly encourage new perspective of things, but we can not insult them while doing so.
