Static IP
 

I have two golden 2 year old Ebay Seller accounts + verified Paypal accounts ready to go. I have a dedicated computer I'm going to use for each. My ISP gives me the option of additional static IPs for $5/month. Rather than having to mess with resetting them all the time, I would like to go with the dedicated static IP for each account and set each computer to the static IP.

My question is this. If my IP comes back as being in Dallas and my accounts have addresses in California and North Carolina, is that going to throw up some red flags? I'm going to list the items as being in Dallas from both of the stealth accounts. My legit Ebay accounts run off a similar IP.

For example:

66.239.36.x -> legit
66.239.36.x -> stealth 1
66.239.36.x -> stealth 2

I think its risky to have a dallas ip address when ur stealth address is somewhere else. I wouldn't do it if I were you, not on golden accounts atleast.

Thanks for the input.

My next question: I have Verizon and TMobile USB modems. If I use these, and I'm in Dallas and Stealth 1 is in California and Stealth 2 is in North Carolina, is this going to throw up a flag? The IPs are likely going to resolve to something in my area.

thats the same concept as before because the location of the ip's would be near where u live not near the stealth account. Thats why the ebay stealth book says to make the account near where you live. Another thought is changing the address on the account itself to dallas and then using ur dallas ip addresses. But I don't know how risky that is cause I've never had to do/deal with that before.

Yea best to make an account no more then 100km to where your ip address locates you

Thanks for the input. I have the stealth guide but I need to go over it again.

I purchased all of these accounts. I have a third virgin 2007 sellers account that is the same deal. I'm going to change the address on one of them to test the waters and see what happens.
