Multiple Ebay accounts

Schills · #1 05-21-2009

Hey, I am looking at creating a few backup ebay accounts and making a new one so I do not get suspended and can just list some of my things and buy here and there.

I have bought the e-book but am having accessing it. Anyways... I wanted to know what I gotta do so they don't link me using my computers...

I have all the base of ⊗⊗⊗⊗ names... etc.. not linking any of that info anywhere... but what about linking my ip address? linking to my computer? A few quick tidbits about to avoid that would be much appreciated.

EDIT: I have been doing some reading, If I create multiple user accounts I will be fine I suppose, I don't know about my IP Address though. What should I do about that?

I have bellsouth as a provider. I have DSL.

I have a program that finds proxies that work would that be a good substitute for IP changing? or is there another recommended method?

You are correct about using separate user accounts. It's best to change your ip between accounts. Do you have a router? If you do, you can log into it's menu and change the ip easily.

I called the ISP company and they said I have a dynamic IP and I got them to change it manually for me because doing it myself wasnt working.

Before the change it was 74.170.247.103 , It has been that for several years.

After the change it was 74.179.103.116 , I should be able to make a new account and successfully use ebay now correct?

Yep you are good with the ip change.

Use separate user accounts and you should have no problems.

Hey, I have created a new account using a new number and new everything!!! They have no idea!!! I don't think ebay checks my paypal because they could link that possibly.... but.... They haven't and its doubtful they will before my auction ends.
