[eBay newbies] What are the factors that link eBay accounts? Tips on how to prevent eBay accounts from being linked

Many new sellers are concerned about whether their eBay accounts are associated. The answer is yes. Today, we will introduce the factors that cause eBay account association and tips on how to prevent eBay account association.

Several factors are associated with eBay accounts:

1. Data association: including address (including credit card statement address), credit card, name, later video authentication, etc.

2. IP association

3. PayPal association. Because your PayPal is bound to multiple eBay accounts, once one account is restricted or blocked, all eBay accounts associated with your PayPal will be reviewed. PayPal association leads to eBay association.

4. Computer association. You have logged into multiple accounts on one computer. Although you may change the IP address every time you log into an account, eBay will extract and review the IP segment and port number. However, the association will not be detected when multiple accounts are logged into Mac.

5. Cookies are not cleaned up.

How to avoid eBay account association:

1. Do not open eBay emails from blocked accounts

2. Change the IP address. If you use adsl, don't worry.

3. Clear cookies. If you feel that you cannot clear them completely, you can reinstall the system. You do not need to change the network card.

4. Do not try to log in to the blocked account again

5. The account information of the newly applied account should not be too similar or the same as the blocked account (including credit card, address, phone number, payment account number, etc.)

6. Try to imitate the actions of novice sellers. Do not start selling right after logging into the account. It is also beneficial to leave the account in abeyance for a while.

7. Don’t register eBay in public places. What if a colleague of yours has registered an account here and died?

8. In addition, you must understand that most associations are determined by computer machines. Even if you do all of the above, it is possible that they are inexplicably associated with other accounts.

That's basically it for eBay, but Amazon's anti-association is even more abnormal. Amazon officially stipulates that the same person can only register one seller account on Amazon and cannot operate or maintain multiple seller accounts. Amazon will determine whether multiple accounts belong to the same seller by matching association factors.

Amazon will determine whether there is a connection based on the following factors:

1. Software factors:

IP address, which is the computer's external IP.

Browser "fingerprints" are harmless data collected by JavaScript about the seller's browser operations, such as plug-ins, fonts, operating systems, time zones, typing speed, typing methods, screen resolution, and even HTTP protocol fields. These fragmented information are combined to form a "digital fingerprint" to determine whether the same user is operating.

Cookies information. That is, when you browse the web, the web server stores some data locally, including ID, password, web page, stay time, etc.

Loading of Flash objects and email images.

Personal and business information of various accounts: such as name, email address, address, phone number, credit card, EIN, SSN, VAT, domain name registrant, brand registrant, business license legal person, etc.

Receiving account, P card, American bank card, World first, etc.

2. Hardware factors

Generally refers to the MAC address of the network card and router.
