Yes, kind of. They can see the browser type that is given in the http headers, that *may* tell them what device your using, and what browser you're using. They can see where you are from by your IP address... there is a lot they can see ( and a lot they cant), the question is what information they pay attention to. In my opinion the less information you can expose, the better.

They can see a lot.

That is why it is important for you to have yourself set up so you do not link accounts etc.

They can sniff out a link using a variety of resources.

That is normal. It is how they can identify you using "browser fingerprinting". This is not everything they can do, but it gives you a good idea of what is possible.

The fact that your system shows up as unique is only good if your stealth accounts come up completely different. Your uniqueness can be used to identify you. That alone won't do it, but if your account was under review and they suspected you were running multiple accounts, this would tip the scales toward a link.

As to how I found it?

My CAT of course!

No unique is not good because you are easy to recognize coming back.

We all would like to know that.

Your aim is to use ebay in such a way that nothing links you to anything old.

Dont cross too far over to tin foil hat wearing though.

Has the potential to have you found out if ebay every dug into your account.

Aspkin mentioned 'similarities' are dangerous.

You want to avoid being extremely unique.

The more common and generic you are on eBay the better. Make it harder for eBay to single you out.

OP, keep it simple - figure eB sees everything except for MAC and such and go from there.

You really the stealth guide to understand what we are all aware of - or read more around.
