What are your thoughts on using new Windows user accounts? Necessary or not?

S.

[SevnSins]

Multiple user accounts are the best way I have found to help keep my accounts organized. Though not necessary; it prevents you from having to clear the cookies/flash objects before logging in every time. I use multiple user accounts, but still clear my cookies/flash objects... JUST IN CASE.

In addition; it has been found that Google captures your windows login name for tracking purposes, so it's just a matter of time before eBay figures it out too. If eBay starts doing this; your accounts will could possibly get linked, thus resulting in multiple suspensions.

In closing; I would suggest that you get in the habit of using separate user accounts, so you are one step ahead when they do start tracking them.

Sevnsins[Modee feel free to chip in],

You say you use differnet logins for the different Ebay accounts but all from the same computer. What about the IP situation..arnt you still using the same IP for all the accounts ?

2) Is IP really a big deal when you are on an ISP with millions of users. Unless I am missing something my ISP[optus] in australia is allocating the same IP to thousands of users at the same time. so for example my IP of say 122.105.110.44 is being shared by thousands of users so IP by itself is not a sure thing for Ebay tracking. Am I offbase and my DSL IP address is unique to me ?

3) Even with Auctiva you eventually have to directly log into Ebay. Is it crucial to use different IP for the say 2 different accounts, use the actual IP used to create the accts for each login and is it also crucial to avoid using the original suspended acct IP adress even if the IP is being used by 000's of other DSL users.

The above assumes I have the multiple window logins in order as well as Firefox cookie deletion on reloads, etc

The only time the IP address may not be specifically assigned to a single user is with dial up.

Auctiva is discussed here.

Paypal linked account question

Does anyone know if Paypal tracks Moneypak numbers? Lets say I used a moneypak # to fund one account then funded another. Just wondering if they track that.

I have heard that paypal does track passwords. But do you htink they track username/password for your bank acct website? You know to speed up the bank account verification process its nice to use your bank website for verification.

[Modee]

Given that EBAY and PayPal track credit card numbers, I suppose they could track a MoneyPack number too.

It is okay to use the Bank Verification website to confirm your PayPal account. They do not track you based on the PW, but of course the bank account must be different. For most people this means a different username.

So the username would always be different as well unless you had multiple bank accounts up with online access using the same username/password. IF you have multiple bank accounts up under the same username/PW, it would be best to do the verification via the small deposits. As a matter of fact, you will notice that if you try this online verification and you have multiple bank accounts attached to the same username/PW (more than one account visible when you log in), the online verification will fail.

Yes I have noticed this. Thanks for the data.

Open a new account with new address?

I just started selling DVDs-TV series on Ebay Dec. 23 and sold 12 items. Today I got message from ebay that I can not sell on ebay use this account anymore and they didn't even give me any explanation. I want to open a new account since there is no way to let them reactive my old account. However, how can I get a new physical address if I only live in this home address? Thank you so much.

[noodlesli]

If I want to open a new ebay account, but I don't have a new physical address. I have been living in the same address for a long time. What should I do? Thank you.
