Ebay pictures

[dawnw]

HI, have just read on a closed post that eBay can link suspended accounts through images, Ive just downloaded jstrip which has removed all the camera information from my images, I take 99% of them myself and download from the web the other 1% if I don't have time to take them.

Will they still be able to link the accounts if I use these images, or am I best to re-take and re-upload to laptop via the 'new user' on the laptop, or can I load the existing pic onto a memory stick and add to new user that way?

eBay will link you for exif data on photos but can link you also if you use the same pictures that has been used on another account.

It is better to get brand new pictures with different angle, background and stuff.

Ok thanks, will make a start on doing this

Good idea,dawnw

Learn to do stealth without making a link to old banned info.

Look like a new you as much as possible,

Good Luck

If you take 99% of the images yourself, then you may as well go ahead and take new photos and NOT use the old ones. Even if it doesn't cause immediate and obvious link, the fact that you have taken few extra steps should at least make you sleep a bit better.

With stealth, I follow "one" rule:
If something makes you sleep better, do it. Even if it feels like you are taking an extra step or two and even when it seems "wasted 13 minutes"- Just do it.
Everybody thinks of work the exact time they sit down and list, or take photos or upload something, but nobody wants to admit that they keep thinking about work when they are waiting for a train, driving to get some food, meeting up with friends, walking home from the gym... You get what I'm saying.

If you can take any extra steps and by doing so you will think less about work, the better.

In my opinion.

Very true Haidukken, this is a general rule for my lifestyle.

I try not to carry around unnecessary "weight " for work or other things that needs to be done.

I like to do them properly the very firts time and not to think about it again (not always possible but... I do my best)

You better take New images,
They some how track the old images, i delete all the exif data
And still banned me, so im sure that was because of The images.
Avoid using old images, avoid same background on New images
