I've been banned from selling on eBay and I get around it by having multiple Windows 10 VMs (running on proxmox) with 4G USB dongles passed through to each machine. It keeps everything tidy with no chance of me ever making a mistake and getting found out.
- Bellyache5 4y agoWhat exactly are you selling?
- 111111101101 4y agoThousands of different items that I import from China. I've got a lot of money invested in inventory so I can't risk having my business shutdown by eBay's algorithm or $2/h "service" team again. eBay stealth OPSEC is the only way to have any sort of job security in this game.
- no-dr-onboard 4y agoThis might be silly to mention, but wouldn’t a VPN suffice? Even a VPN set to “always on” in a VM? Another option would be to stand up a t2.micro on AWS and then dynamic port forward web traffic via “ssh -D 7777 $awshost” and use a browser proxy.
- kube-system 4y agoeBay isn't just looking at source IP addresses, they do other types of fingerprinting as well.
- no-dr-onboard 4y agoDo tell! I'll be terribly disappointed if you say something like "browser fingerprinting" though.
