I don't have anywhere near 50 EINs haha, that does sound like a nightmare.

-VPNs from all different companies (I know there can be an issue with bad IPs, but I always check them on RBL lists and request new ones until there aren't any hits - and none of them were linked until about a month in on the first one, and a month and a week on the second so it wouldn't be that others got caught on these IPs)

why check RBL? blacklist IP will for other issue not for amazon?
amazon will never check spam list?

i found amazon can detect OS footprint of VPN.
so if your VPN server is under ONE server/OS, it will be problem

I check RBLs because there exists no other comprehensive list of abused IP addresses and I bet there is a correlation of abuse since this usually indicates an ip address was once sold cheaply for various uses (email spamming, ticket master, etc). In other words, if you're a cop checking someone from out of town and they don't pull up in your database, why not check the federal database (you know Amazon has access to it - if they don't incorporate it now they easily could in the future).

Also I believe you are either confused between VPN and VPS, or you are misunderstanding how VPN works. I can't figure out what you're trying to say here but Amazon does look at the OS of whatever device is incoming through the VPN if that's what you mean (which is what a lot of my post was about).

VPN server is another computer right? so when VPN connect to amazon, amazon will know OS of VPN info. mean amazon know it is another computer/OS.

are your accounts still getting linked? I wonder if they identifying it as a VM based off the fingerprint and considering that a risk

I've never had an issue with vmware stealth accounts

VPS has its own OS that is visible to ebay/Amazon. However, that still doesn't mean they're easily detected as a VPS. With a VPN, Amazon sees the OS of your machine - a VPN has no OS that is visible to a server.

Have not been linked since - and to my knowledge, there are no markers visible through the browser that indicate a VM as it is considered a security risk (lots of research on this too). Lots of people use VM for stealth without issue (I have received multiple PMs about all this).

There should be no MAC address issue though.

Better options are available.

What i find interesting is that when i create a new VM (windows 7 using VMplayer), it doesn't have flash installed. So i were to instantly start browsing the web, websites would be unable to gain flash cookies on me. I wonder if amazon see's this, they consider it a risk. IDK

That has nothing to do with VM - that's just the specific browser and version of Windows you have installed. Chrome, for instance, has flash built in (which runs on VM or physical machine the exact same way). Firefox, by default, does not have flash unless you've installed it previously (in Internet Explorer). Lots of people with new computers never even install flash because everything runs in HTML5 - I wouldn't really say it's super suspicious.

But regardless - enable flash cookies behind a VPN and it won't matter.
