Accidental login- have i messed it all up?
 

So I have 2 ebay stealth accounts, each with their own proxies and windows login account.

However, while I was distracted(and 4 hours of sleep) on ebay stealth #1, I was asked to login again when I wanted to reply to feedback. Stupidly, I wrote the login details for ebay stealth #2. This was on the same browser

However, 20 seconds into realising, I quickly logged out of ebay stealth #2, cleared all cookies and remained out of ebay stealth #1.

I logged into ebay stealth #2 with its original proxy and windows account but haven't logged into ebay stealth #1 yet. I'm planning to use a slightly different proxy for it with the third number of the proxy changed (e.g: 2.2.xxx.xxx)

But am I screwed now? These are two big accounts and losing them would be a huge hit.

Thanks for any advice

Once you might not have a problem but doing it again it will most probably cause you hassle.

Re: Accidental login- have i messed it all up?
 

Thanks for the assurance, I definitely will not do something silly like that again.

Start taking precautions just in case.....

Make sure there is not much left in paypal, and start making some more stealths so that they may have a chance to be mature and past 21 day holds the time that any hassle may come.

Will do, cheers. The only annoying thing is PayPal not verifying accounts that havent reached the £1500 limit. Don't want to waste banks

Try savers, more recyclable IMO.

Re: Accidental login- have i messed it all up?
 

Do you know how many savers are reasonable to have? I have 3 with NatWest and Halifax but don't want to open loads as it may look suspicious

Re: Accidental login- have i messed it all up?
 

That is about right, I would only maybe have one more than that.

P.O savers also work......they say you can only have one but after a while they invite you to have more as a 'special offer' I now have 4 after adding 3 last month.

I try and look at this with my paranoid stealth hat off sometimes. There are many times im sure that a normal Joe logs in on his ebay at a public place, work computer etc where the same thing happens. A one time thing surely wouldnt get your account killed

Re: Accidental login- have i messed it all up?
 

I have halifax, get an online saver! you can do it online via your internet banking and its instant, and all you need to do is deposit £1, I have 5 online savers open right now.

Accounts are linked now. Get a couple of new ones ASAP.

Re: Accidental login- have i messed it all up?
 

It's been more than 24 hours and the accounts are still standing. Seems like I got away with it this time :)

Re: Accidental login- have i messed it all up?
 

NO NO NO NO NO :nono:

Re: Accidental login- have i messed it all up?
 

Don't be so sure that they haven't linked the accounts. They may not suspend right away so be cautious. Don't leave too much money sitting at Paypal...

Re: Accidental login- have i messed it all up?
 

EBay don't ban accounts just because they are 'linked'

You could pretty much link every eBay account in the world one way or another...

The problem occurs if you get one account banned. That's when eBay often say 'x account is linked to y account which is suspended, therefore x account is now suspended too' they only do this if there is a strong link.

Try not to worry.
