So if I buy the exact same router which I'm currently buying just so I can use same cables and power plug etc will the new router just plug right in and give a new IP address
Thanks
The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!
Personally I change my current router's MAC address and reset my broadband modem to get a new IP address. Swapping out your router does the same thing. It was only mentioned in eBay Stealth because it's dead easy for the non-techie people to understand.
What router and broadband do you have? simply its best to quickly change your IP address through settings if allowed and then keep cookies on each account - this is based on sky broadband
Don't worry about dynamic IPs. Ebay and Paypal obviously know about it as its more cost effective for them to issue dynamic IPs and it reduces the chances of your computer getting hacked.
Think about all the millions of millions of Ebay users in the UK if that was an issue everyone would be getting banned.
Just make sure you keep LSOs and normal cookies and you should be fine.
I actually may have a dynamic or semi Static IP as I've read from other reviews that my isp or most fibe broadband have a dynamic IP but by reset router it does not change
If that is the case then maybe router swapping is the way ?

It doesnt matter if its a different IP every time you change the IP, as long as the IP has never been used on any of your other accounts than it is good.
Just have a separate user account for your stealth accounts, and your keeping cookies from ebay/paypal and not wiping everything clean every time you log out.
