logging in from overseas to stealth ebay/paypal accounts

boys, put your handbags away...

sasasa, if you are talking Europe and you want to log in to UK accounts with UK ip, get your butt back to blighty and purchase a UK dongle, alot of them give you a UK ip when logging in abroad, call them to check it out, the costs vary but apart from the cost of the actual monthly fee, you would have an option to pay an extra £5 for 24 hours use or £40 for 30 days use......

it used to be that you would connect to a local partner network when abroad, but things have changed and UK ips are available now, I have tested this on t-mobile and 3 networks, I log in to my UK accounts when only holiday on my private floating island...

Ahahhahah Dave Gahan, if one more person says that!, It's only me.

Ok flying to the UK to buy a dongle is a bit of a hassle!, especially when there is something called post

I actually already have a 3 dongle that gives me a new ip address every time, I unlocked it, but last time I used overseas it was an overseas IP. Or are the prices you are talking about related to international roaming?

40 quid seems alot, when you can get a vps with 5 different ip's for around 10 a month

yep international roaming, should give you UK ip, if you get correct one ..

the avatar is YOU? hmm thought this was a stealth forum! You guys wouldnt be able to deal with a real pic of me, youd be drooling*

yes £40 is alot, its just an example for 30 days, but say you only need to log in occasionally, then £5 every week, say would be ok, and then use auctiva or some such site....

Yeah its a stealth forum, that's why i'm wearing sunnies

Ok, I think the VPS seems like a better idea though. Also if I use international roaming then the IP could be in Bognor Regis one day and Aberdeen the next. At least with a VPS you know where the server is located. If I am creating new accounts then Ebay would like the IP's to be fairly close to my home address right?

I'm glad my VPS idea is useful to you, now lets put our handbags away and kiss and makeup

It wasn't on your recommendation, someone else told me before you

I must say I do like the look of tagadab, £10 per month with 5 IP addresses seems like a very good deal

Oh i see, so what was the point in your first post of this thread then? I mean if you already knew the answer then why ask? :S

Anyways, good luck with your venture.
