I re-read the stealth guide regards any reference to cookies and didn’t see any mention of needing to copy them from your current PC over to a new PC.
I’ve recently moved away from a fixed broadband router (too expensive) to a pay-as-you-go MiFi dongle for internet connection and so far, so good with this method.
I’m doing things in 2 steps to avoid there being too many changes at the same time that may spook ebay/paypal: - I moved over to the new MiFi dongle while still using the old PC, so I only flagged a new IP address, but at least I still had the old cookies – this did trigger a text message verification from paypal, but not from ebay, luckily text message verifications are no problem for me
- I will now move over to the brand-new PC, connect the MiFi dongle and then log into ebay & paypal – I’m expecting another text message verification from both ebay & paypal due to the new PC not having any browser cookies yet (I use Firefox)
Fingers crossed that once I’ve done this second text message verification, all will be stable and good to go as normal again.
