Default Is ebay tracking our computers now too??

I called to raise my seller limit with eBay on one of my stealth accounts. BAD MISTAKE! The lady not only linked my ip address, but she also told me they tracked me using the same computer with two accounts as well. I haven't seen anyone bring this up. So I would love to know has this happen to anyone else as well?? I also wanted to put everyone up on game, letting you guys know that ebay might be stepping their game up on tracking stealth accounts down!

Pretty standard to use tracking cookies to track a computer

Were you using the same user account for both eBay accounts?

I like how everyones automatic answer is always "its standard" and dont touch base on the subject.

You probably screwed up along the line...used the same IP on multiple accounts, used a recycled IP that someone got banned on and you were linked to a completely different account, etc. You were linked in some way...doesnt mean they are tracking your computer. That would be a wee bit illegal...but when have ebay and paypal ever played by legalities?

Define OK.

If the ebay APP is on that phone, then no you can not safely use the mobile.

Give more info please.

You wouldn't use one IP address for all stealth accounts as that would link them all so if one account went down through suspension they all would either straight away or over a short period of time

Each stealth account would have a different user account on your laptop and different IP address by your router having a dynamic ip or by using a dongle or another method that will give you a different IP address each time you log on

You can just create your own stealth accounts, why use your sisters account in US! No need for that, and if one of you gets suspended, the other gets suspended as well. Read around this forum and you will the right idea, there are plenty of good suggestions above for you also.

People do run stealth accounts from mobiles, better if you can to run from a laptop, again you need to get it straight in your head about how to run stealth accounts.

Calling in to raise limits has never been recommended - should have read posts before doing this.
