So in July I can't delete my cookies?

HI: I Live on the Border of 4 diff states--all within an hours drive, so between all 4, i have over 30 public libraries i go to, all diff ips.. So- cant be the ip---

You got it going on man 47 accounts WOW!
 

So let me get this straight. Suppose if I create 5 seperate users on my pc how would I get different ip addresses for each user on one pc? And if one of users gets suspended what am I to do then, get a new computer?

I almost have everything down this and one or two more things and I'm ready to sell again :)

Thanks in advance for help :D

I also use a Public library, I have had 2-accounts suspended on that ip, and still have 3 others up without problems.

By creating a new windows user name the cookies are seperated for each of your eBay accounts so the info can be sperated for each individual user and the website cannot read the username of the specific cookies that are being used.

So bearing that in mind along with changing the IP surely that should be all that is needed (so long as you have non-infected info for your eb accounts) to make sure they are not linked with previously infected accounts.

So if people are still experiencing problems then perhaps there is more to it than what I stated above and I am wondering this:

Can eBay check the following details:

Windows Registered Name
Windows Registered Organization
Windows Serial Number
Computer HOSTNAME
Desktop Resolution

If it can and anyone needs help wanting to know how to change your windows info then let me know and I will publish it here.

I am thinking what with mixed reports about using new windows user accounts that there is still more too it than just doing that and changing IP. Modee has a list of things he does before he accesses his accounts and I am sure it may have something to do with some of the things I have listed above.

After all if you log onto some websites they are able to tell you some of the following info plus more:

What browser you are using
Windows XP/Vista etc
Resolution
Hostname
Windows registered name/organization

So what would stop eBay being able to know this info?

ebayhateluv,
What did the emails say? What code was in the subject line? Lately I've been getting 055's when I lose a bunch of accounts at once, and the email says

"You have been linked to suspended user: XYZ. But the interesting thing is, XYZ isn't one of my accounts. (Not putting the name they used cause ebay is watching me :p) "

User Accounts on Mac work the same as PC?
 

currently I'm running my accounts (11 of them ) on a Powerbook G4 and am trying to get my ducks in a row with the cookies and avoid phone-id.

Is anyone out their working on a Mac and using multiple users on OSX?
How are things working out for you?

I am assuming that the basic premise of changing user accounts for each ebay id would be the same on a Mac but would like to be sure?

Thanks

They can't check Windows Serial numbers, that's for sure. Otherwise Microsoft would sue them.

But what about Windows Registered User and Registered Organization, along with the other things I mentioned such as Desktop resolution and what type of windows package etc?

Aspkin will be able to see what browser, IP and service pack we all have just from checking our details when we log in. Surely eBay's security checks is better than just Cookies and IPs.
