Amazon AWS server for stealth account?
 

Ok so what I'm doing right now is I'm basically using this site bestproxyandvpn.com to pay for a dedicated private proxy at 4 USD a month. I Create a new user account in windows and I connect it to the proxy I purchased. Once proxy is connected I sign up to Amazon AWS and I connect myself to their free server. I've done this twice on my computer already with 2 different windows user accounts. Everything seems find but I'm not sure how smooth this will work because I haven't even started selling. Reason why I haven't started selling is because I'm currently aging my accounts, browsing and doing other standard stealth procedures.

My question is... Is this method effective or can eBay detect that I'm using an Amazon AWS server?

Stop wasting time by browsing around, start selling low risk item because the day you first sell something is the day when countdown for ebay and paypal to remove holds.

Of course eBay/PayPal or anyone who knows your IP address will know it's AWS.. the better question is.. is that a problem? Surprisingly I see a lot of people use AWS with eBay/PayPal without any trouble. I would say 1/40 people that I can monitor specifically use AWS. It doesn't mean it's safe or a good approach however. Take that as you will.

Should really be doing this, rather then pussy footing around ;)

You're wasting money on proxies/VPN. They will only mask your IP to the AWS server (this provided the connection doesn't circumvent the VPN altogether), when you browse from your remote desktop, the IP any website will see is your remote desktops IP.

I've had problems in the past with AWS IPs. I think it's an unnecessary risk. But if it works for you, go for it.
