Yep, not logged in on two accounts using same IP but I have clicked two or more links about different accounts auction listing emails and then logged to one account using that same IP.

This is the thing I told in my first reply on this thread. I don't have to get anybody to tell me I did this because I already have told it on the this threads main reply.

Again, this is for people who wasn't sure that eBay tracks you this way or not. No I think it is proven that they do.

Another way on checking on your listings is if you used Auctiva for your listings.. Than Ijust log into my auctiva account and pull out active listings and can see all stats. It even tells you how many watchers you have on your listings. Something you can't see if you are directly in your ebay listing logged into Ebay.

Yep, I was doing this also as you can read from my first reply on this thread. This exact thing. I was newer logged in to any account when checking emails. All fresh data. But after clicking that link eBay is always registering you IP. If you then log in to some account with that same IP, they link those. So after checking those emails, start your router again etc. to get new IP before signing to account because that previous IP you used to check your different accounts listing thru emails links, is now linked to those listings.

Clearing cookies and history takes about five to ten seconds...

Yes and it will raise flags with Ebay when you try and sell and they don't recognise your computer....

You are not following the stealth method correctly and that is why you have lost accounts. Not because of a new Ebay tracking system.

True, but you can't make mistake by not remembering to do it..and if you are like me, you probably have hundreds of other things you have to on daily basis.

You can open the eBay emails, no problem, just disable the images from being loaded. Most providers like Hotmail, Yahoo or GMail have that option.

Then this isn't your problem, you are being linked another way.

Why don't you use inkfrog? I log into inkfrog and see everything & all of my stealth ids on what I am selling. Then you can see an update and no linking or no dial up.


:violin:

Not Necessarily it has to be Cleared Cookies and Flash Cookies and a whole new ip range to get flaged. I clear cookies every time and change ip and i wont get promted to verfiy my id by phone or email and never got banned i been doing this 6 months now on my main id and its still going strong. But i can goto another state use my same laptop pc clear flash cookies and log in under a new ip range then i get hit with id verfiy.

No, THAT IS THE PROBLEM. Read my reply thru again and you'll find out how they link me.

They link like this scheme:
Starting with fresh IP and cleared cookies and all other tracks.

1. I check Stealth person A:s email and click that link on eBay listing confirmation email just to see his item. Don't log in.

2. IP is stored because I used that link and it's linked now to this listings holder, Stealth person A.

3. Then I go and check Stealth person B:s email and click that link on eBay:s email.

4. See something interesting and log in.

5. IP is stored and linked now to Stealth Person A.

If renew my IP before loggin in to account, between step 3 and 4, then I'm clean and they'll not link my accounts.

Check the link. It's not a direct link to listing. It's an referral link that directs you thru tracking program.

Hopefully you now understand this linking.

Here's the easiest solution:


DON'T DO THAT!

Yep, like everybody can understand from the very first reply on this thread, DON'T DO THAT anymore if you were doing that.:hail:

What I mean is..... I don't know why you're doing the process in the first place. What's the purpose behind it?

It's like you came up with a method for eBay to track you, (that's not really new) but you have to follow this unusual set up steps for it to happen.:smash:

old ebay pro here..

1. you can open any email any account but make sure images is disabled..

2. ebay can link you by the password you use on your accounts as well. If there the same.

3. Use separate windows account for each ebay account

It looks like he's just using one link for an email to view an item in another account. Which makes no sense to me what so ever.

Well anything by email from ebay, no matter on your regular ip etc. is never a good idea. But if some people have no problems then I suppose its okay. Best way to view (if you must) any message is as html, nothing else no images etc.

You definitely want text only... no html.

This sounds like lazy business practices to me. I don't care if you had 40 accounts. Log into each one as needed. It seems that you were reading emails on a neutral IP, but without you knowing; one of your accounts got suspended, and subsequently linked that neutral IP to other accounts you had viewed. I think the lesson here is that you have to be thorough. Sure it's a pain to keep up with all the questions and transactions, but now you have the bigger pain of starting up new accounts when you had perfectly good ones. SMH

I have a question in the new ebay stealth book I believe it says to Just have different user accs. on your computer that way when you go from acc. to acc. you dont have to erase cookies, if im not mistake. So whenever i go from acc. to acc using a different user acc obviously i just change ip #'s every time, and dont worry about the cookies. Please let me know if this is not right.

^^ You got it. :D

Exactly. That's why I don't understand why he did this. My answer... don't do it.


If you're not meticulous, ebay is anyway!!
