first in over 10yrs i had 3 accounts i know was linked

bluegrass1 · #1 07-18-2016

ok i know the rules separate user names phones ip, home address ..
I had 3 accounts to all go down same day same time all selling different items
one account was being looked over i know and thats the first one suspended forever then about 20 mins later 2 more go at same time that was selling different items all together .. i use google browsers never clear cookies and make sure i never reuse ip... that said i lost my ip log, crashed out so i had to start a new log .. this is the only thing i can imagine would have caused this ..None of them mentioned linked all just after reviewing your account has raised serious concerns blah blah
I now use foxfire portable across the board to keep the cookies cleared out .. ANything else that might of triggered a link>?
And whats best to use to track ip now ? everyone still using spreadsheets or???

rsot · #2 07-18-2016

This is worrisome bluegrass1 :(

I still use spreadsheets but other people might have better way...

How did you know your account was being looked over? What was the original suspension/limitation that prompted you to create additional accounts, if any?

Tracking ip's? Sounds like a very complicated and tiresome setup. I use vps for each account. This way I know my ip will never change and no worries about linkages either.

bluegrass1 · #5 07-18-2016

I knew there was a problem with one account when i listed item it was showing up in the search . had watchers and views then listing stopped showing up even when i put in item number in search box it wouldnt pull it up .

All separate user accounts in the past? No chance of shared flash etc...? Never use broadband internet?

IP link would have had to have been several crossovers of the same IPs using cellular.

Sorry to hear about that bud - I too also use spreadsheets to track Ips for accounts I dont use VPNs. Looks like one of the accounts triggered a manual review, and they saw IPs crossing over as well. Not sure what else they might have discovered beyond that. But there must have been more to it than IPs that caused them to link the other two.

You said now you use "foxfire portable across the board to keep the cookies cleared out".. Why are you clearing out cookies?

bluegrass1 · #8 07-18-2016

tracking cookies incase of ip reuse .. . yankee what did you mean by shared flash?.
yes always separate user accounts .. i only use broadband connection never use my cell for anything .. i do use a mifi some times

yankee · #9 07-18-2016

mifi is cellular IP.

Broadband cross of IPs can be deadly if it shows a history. Even a few crossovers.

bluegrass1 · #10 07-18-2016

Yea its time for Aspkin to fix that site where you log in and it tracks ips forever

Dmshark25 · #11 07-18-2016

If u use portable browsers on the same user account have you went into adobe settings and closed the folder with flash cookies, if not than you were linked because of flash cookies

If u use portable browsers u need to go into adobe settings and close the folder or adjust it to 0 for data shared

Sorry just seen you use separage user accounts

Yea i never access more than one account under the same user name 83 user accounts = 83 portable browsers ...
this whole spread sheet thing got me down .. Why i quit school lol
ok to help a old man understand .. i keep one spreadshet on one user account ..
everytime i change ip i go to the account with the spreadsheet manually log my ip in the box if green i am good if red used before . is this the easiest way of doing things ? i run 20-40 active accounts at one time and it takes me all day 8-10 hrs to go to ea one ship items answer questions list and relist .. this spread sheet thing the way i am doing it is really going to slow me down .. cant even copy and paste the ip .tried that took up a b and c rows

With regards to spreadsheet for IP logging, I store it on a Dropbox account (FREE for up to 2GB storage), with the admin account. That ensures I never lose this spreadsheet, ever.

Then I put a shortcut of the spreadsheet on each user account when I make it.

Then I put the spreadsheet within the startup folder.
For windows 7, just click run, then type "shell : startup" (no spaces) ,whatever files go into this folder load automatically when you login. That reminds me to log the IPs.

My spreadsheet is ultra simple. Highlight all cells, conditional formatting, duplicate=red, unique=green, and make sure to never use the same IP, thats usually the simplest way forward.

This part is important, when you copy and paste IPs to log onto spreadsheet, make sure it doesn't contain any blank spaces before or after the IP, as EXCEL will pick that up as a unique IP, even if it happens to be a duplicate.

If you want, you could get VPNs for each account, but for 83 accounts, it could prove costly, hence why I vary the method out, some accounts of mine are on VPNs, others on MIFI, others on WIFI...

Auto relist - Get something like inkfrog to do it for you.

Shipment - Get a shipping management software to pull orders from all accounts, ready to print onto labels.

Questions- Just add all email accounts into thunderbird, and reply from within. For how to respond to email whilst on the move, read my thread here - http://www.aspkin.com/forums/subscri...ails-move.html

That would mean no need to login to these accounts daily and risk IP from being logged. You could save a few hours as well. Hope that helps

bluegrass1 · #15 07-19-2016

I use thunderbird for all my emails .. And it is safe to respond to emails through Tbird without worry of ip's just dont click any link .. Just double checking .. i go through all active accounts everyday but just to answer a question this is for sure safe?

In all honesty, with so many accounts you should really be looking at VM/VPN solution just to save some time.
I run 8 active accounts at the moment and I'm struggling to justify the "change MAC address, get new IP" method because its very time consuming.

In terms of logging IP's... Its not THAT difficult. You don't need to be fancy with it- If you want, you can literally have two rows: User, IP
Every time you log in, copy IP adddress from what ever site you are checking IP with and open the excel document and hit "ctlr+F" and see whats what.

I've been running stealth since last year and I have 493 different lines in my excel sheet- All different IPs that I've used across all my accounts. Never have I mixed up IP between users.

Now I'm slowly integrating my setup to VM/VPN and it couldn't be easier- Literally plug and play. I'm estimating that it saves me about 50% of my time, if not more, as most of my time is being spent finding suitable IP or a Fresh IP with constant MiFI resets or MAC address changing.

Its all good, you'll adjust- Whenever you lose an account its like a cold shower that reminds you not to get comfortable.

bluegrass1 · #17 07-19-2016

I guess i am just not understanding how to combine the user name with the ip on the spreed sheet .. I mean row a b c d e i just put the user names across there and the ip under ea name ?

bluegrass1 · #18 07-19-2016

I got spreadsheet going alpabetical order names across top used ip under ea name selected all cells to check for dup. ip seems this is correct setup Yea?

Haidukken · #19 07-19-2016

Just an example, thats how mine looks like:

I tend to log the date and any possible comments- If its green, and all of them are, it means the IP has never had any problems like accidental logins from a different user or something similar.

Just super simple, basic stuff.

bluegrass1 · #20 07-19-2016

so with it set like this where do you put the next 10 ips used by rsot ?

Oh bless you, you are trying to add image from your computer! <3

I just log all the IPs, doesn't matter who uses it.

When I search for an IP and it finds a user that I've used the IP with, I log with that user.

When I search for an IP and it doesn't find it, it means I have not used this IP before and I log it under a user that I need to log in with.
