Just some fun facts on Flash Cookies...

[kevinxu]

thank you for your reply.I read the newest eBay Stealth and it says how to setup to delete cookies everytime close firefox so i was wondering whether to delete regular cookies or not.

I have several users on one computer and make it a habit of closing everything and running cccleaner before I leave that user name. Then I open the next user and run cccleaner and check the flash cookies every few days or so.
Make it a habit to clean everything using something like cccleaner each time you switch users. Before and after you use it.

i agree on this one- i recently had a chat with a T&S monkey who told me up front that if you sign on to an unfamiliar computer they will call and verify or suspend because "they think your account might be hijacked". so they are looking for those cookies, I don't know if it's all cookies or jsut flash. leave em on the computer with each separate user name.

before when we use multiple accounts,we always delete the cookies so that there's no way ebay can track us on the computer but now if we use different users with different accounts and leave cookies and flash cookies on the SAME computer,could ebay tell that? It's the problem i'm worried.

I actually like the user name per ebay account its really not that hard and its so organized all information related to that account including pictures, item descriptions and all that is there and you never have to worry about cookies.

THat's the good thing about separate user accounts per eBay account. You can leave the cookies intact and you'll be fine. Just switch users, change your IP address and you're ready to rock with your next account.

Just to confirm by using this method ie using duffernet XP users I do not need to delete ANY cookies just change IP address and switch users?


Thanks
