How to open multiple Ebay accounts and make them LAST?

vigilantex69 · #1 08-02-2011

Ok, so I have fell to the selling limits, and have realized that even with me only looking to sell 30 to 40 items a month or so, I cannot do it with one single stealth account. Now I am a veteran stealther, and have been doing this for over 4+ years now and know the tricks of the trade. However, the stealth guide I am using is from 2007, and a ridiculous amount has changed since then.

Can anyone give me some advice as to how to open 2 or 3 more Ebay and PayPal accounts so I can have 3 or 4 going simultaneously? I know how to create the accounts, but my question is how do I sell when the IP Address is the same? Like I change my IP address, clear cookies, do all that nonsense to create one account, then I do it over and over again for the others, and it will probably work.

But my question is I cannot simply change my IP Address every time I sign into Ebay from one account, so after they are all created on different IP's, I will change it again and use one IP address to list items. Maybe if someone could give me a walkthrough I would appreciate it. I am not new to this stuff, so I will understand for the most part what you are talking about. I am just extremely frustrated right now because this 10 item limit is worthless and basically makes it pointless to sell on Ebay. I am not looking to make a business out of this, but even just trying to sell off collectible items is impossible with that kind of a limit. I figure if I had 4 accounts running and I could sell 40 a month I would be fine, but I am not sure how to go about doing it so that they are not linked.

That or any advice to creating accounts that do NOT have the selling limit on it I will not need to bother creating more accounts. Again, I only need to sell maybe 30 or 40 lower priced items a month. I do not sell very high valued items, so selling 10 $10.00 items isn't even worth my time.

Again, I am a vet here, and do not need the advice of "Go buy the Stealth Book". Trust me, I have read it cover to cover many times. And I have just spent the past 4 hours searching these forums trying to figure out how to do it. Problem is some of the posts go back to to 2008, and so much has changed since then they are not accurate. Need one of the big mods here help me out if it isn't too much trouble. That and I promise with the first $40.00 in Paypal I make I will buy a subscription to the private forums. Or you can private message me as well. Thanks!

Go buy the book... LOL.. Kidding.

Yeah ,you have to change the IP and all that in between each account and log it religiously in a log book.

That isnt covering everything you asked but that is part of it.

Shadowmoe7 · #3 08-02-2011

yeah basically you need to switch your ip before logging in to another stealth account

So wait, change your IP address every time you log into your Ebay or Paypal account? How on Earth do I do that? I have to mess around with my router every time I change it just to make a new account. It is a HUGE hassle, and there is no way I could change it every time I login and out daily. And doesn't that raise flags?

Hi. Ideally you are going to need a setup where you can change your ip easily, especially if you are running multi accounts and are logging in and out many times daily.

Logging in and out with different IPs will not raise flags so you will be fine on that score.

I can only recommend changing your setup to one where you can easily change your IP address.

If you are overly concerned about IP changing, then just make different user accounts and go from there -experiment without changing IP. I have tried this lightly (and lazily) and it CAN work - a lot depends on what you sell, etc.

For me, however, I still deal with dial-up AND other dynamic IP when needed so I have learned to be patient with changing.

Alps_a somewhatlegend · #7 08-03-2011

^ yes I agree with you. You have to know what you are doing to play that game though - me and you are smart so we OK

just buy a dongle for the ip,saves alot of hassle

and use separate user accounts

it is that easy

just make sure you are stealthy with the info you set the accounts up with

dongles are a life saver if your internet connection is static

rsot · #9 08-03-2011

Me smart? Ha far from it Alps but I appreciate the confidence =)

Short story invest in a tmobile web connect that will switch ips for everytime you log on is easy and saves time and headache.

vigilantex69 · #11 08-03-2011

What on earth is a dongle.

vigilantex69 · #12 08-03-2011

This is getting ridiculously complicated for me. I do not know how to configure an IP address that changes every time. I have AT&T internet, and I change my IP by going through a wireless router. However, in order to change it I have to go into the router settings and mess with it. Its a hassle...It does not switch IP every time I log on, it uses the same one, but if I want to change it I can, but like I said it is a pain process that would be impossible to do every time you log in and out of Ebay.

It is a usb modem that you plug into your pc. It changes your IP address everytime you log on.

Iwuvcurrency · #14 08-03-2011

I change my IP everytime I log in and out of each account! A hassell, yes..!! Is there an easier way!? I also keep a log of every ip each account logs on with....

SweetPea · #15 08-03-2011

It does take time and patience. One slip and you are done. Different people have different ways of operating. Some have dial-up. Some do not change IP, but change users every time. Read the forums. They are full of this kind of info...

KingRay · #16 08-03-2011

If you have AT&T dsl you can just unplug your modem and plug it back in. You will get a different IP every time. That is actually one of the easiest to deal with out of all the options.

Try that and go to the IP burger to see.

Good luck.

How does everyone keep track of there ip address's? I just write mine down on paper for each account....

SweetPea · #18 08-03-2011

Read the stealth guide and use a spreadsheet.

KingRay · #19 08-03-2011

Just keep a log book or do some sort of excel file. Someone on here made a file that you can log the IP and it will check the long list you have already inputed for matches. That way you wont ever get one that you have already gotten in the past. which does happen on occasion..

i save my ip`s on my android fone...

e.g NAME/ip4gtb
NUMBER/87.557.4847.474
and save to the email for that account

so when i change accounts i dial in the new ip address to my fone and if it has been used before it will show which account it was used for,if it has not been used i will add it under the account im going to use it for

i also have linked all my eb/pp email addresses to my fone...so anytime i receive a eb/pp msg i get it to my fone

so i answer in double quick time

this saving ip method is by no means flawless,as you probably already thought,i could lose my fone or run out of space/storage

but it does save time looking through ip`s on a bit of paper

As long a I am now on a router and workng from just a modem, all i have to do in unplug the power from the modem and wait 5 - 10 minutes . When I power back up I have a new IP#. No big deal.

vigilantex69 · #22 08-04-2011

^ I am going to unplug the wireless router and hook directly up to the modem today to see if it works and changes.
