Should I or Should I not disable flash cookies on user accounts?

[taerese]

Now I want to run 5 or more different accounts from same PC. Having established all the necessities which includes using diff dongle for each user, I am quite confussed about the flash cookies.

Should I be adjusting (disabling) the 'Global Flash Settings' of each user account or would it be fine to have them turned on as long as I dont compromise each account by IP linking.

Each of my account will be operated via firefox browser, so I am a bit concern about flash cookies linking.

Thought I read somewhere that while the cookies are not linking via diff user, the flash are somewhat linked.

Thanks

If your operating each stealth on its own user account the you will not need to worry about any sort of cookies

[ilcarletto]

Operate your stealths correctly, one for each user account, and keep all the cookies.

This will results in a reliable and strong account in eBay and PayPal eyes.

Keep the flash cookies. It goes towards establishing the history for each account you operate. This of course assumes youre operating each accounts on its own separate windows user account on your PC.

Multiple stealth accounts might also need the consideration of more than one ISP.

Just some thoughts for the future.

The more ISPs you have the more ranges you have to choose from

BT have 1 IP range.
Virgin have another
TalkTalk have another ect.

By using lots of ISPs you are making your stealth accounts look even more different to one another.

Does all the ISP provide dongle? Currently I use 02 and 3. Does BT and TalkTalk also have dongle?

[JamesNorth101]

You would have to have a look to see if they do. Off hand I do not think they do, but you can also look at EE and Vodafone who will offer dongles on a different IP range.

Thanks. Once an account got suspended should I dispose off its dongle or is it possible to replace the Simcard to get a new IP range so that I can use it with a fresh account?

[JamesNorth101]

Its fine to use the same ISP for more than 1 eBay account, you just need to make sure you track the IP correctly.

A new SIM on the same network would not give you a new IP range.

Just keep track of future IPs to avoid overlapping

My mifi unit has started giving me the same IP address, but as I only have one stealth account running on it at this time I am ok with it, it is a three mifi that I have purchased with a 3 month sim in it, I can top up the data every 3 months, there was an option to buy a 12 month sim initially which would have been more expensive, cannot swap between the top up times either, it always has to be every 3 months on this mifi because that was what I chose at the beginning.

BT have two.

I use one single IP for each account. Different user accounts, keep all cookies and history, ONE IP each account. Consistency hasnt given any issues for me. I dont really like switching to different IPs every time.

Trust me if I could figure out how to use one single IP per account, I would be doing just that now but unfortunately, I use dongle and the IP changes every now and then.
