A new Ebay. Will deleted cookies be a problem? And the same for Paypal?

waterproof · #1 10-04-2009

Okay....Finally!... For those of you who know me on the forum, it has taken 6 months of reading, asking, printing the important, and studying.

I have my gmail and have completed my Bay account! So far.. so good...

Tomorrow, however, the Pal and Auctiva will be completed.

So having said that, my question is...can I delete cookies? And if not, when down the road would be okay?
Now, if they were accidently deleted by my roomate....would this be a problem or create an issue with Ebay or Paypal? Would there be any linkage or would they just call the number I provided to confirm?

Thanks to all and your opinions are appreciated!

There is a LOT more to it than just the cookies.
You have IP addresses, Flash Objects, Cookies, Verification Phone calls linked to your cookies.

My best suggestion to you is that if you are serious about selling on eBay then you really need to purchase the eBay stealth guide sold by Aspkin.
It is good and works.
And by the way.... I do not make a dime from its sell.

Waterproof is a subscribed member, he has the book.

Waterproof, to answer your question. Yes you can delete your cookies but you shouldn't. If you do, ebay may call you and give the automated pin to enter. It's better to just keep them.

The email verification is so fast. Make sure your room mate knows not to mess with ebay or pp without compromising yours.

Thanks NO ID! Oh yes! They know! My user account for all stealth business is soley for stealth only. And besides, they think I'm crazy for going through all of this and really doesn't want anything to do with it.

Well, next month you can slap them around with a fistfull of $50's. See if they still want to call you crazy.

It appears you've got this aspect all covered.
