What are the key factors in eBay’s anti-account association operations?

1. In the registration information of eBay account

Different accounts require different information, including the name used when registering, credit card information, credit card statement, mobile phone number, etc. It also includes the video authentication problem encountered when opening a store on eBay. If used repeatedly, it will become a fuse that leads to association. For this reason, in terms of eBay's anti-association, sellers need to prepare information used by different accounts to ensure that they are independent and unrelated.

2. Use external IP when opening an eBay store

Note that it is an external network IP. When we open broadband, no matter how many network cables are moved out of this broadband and how many computers are connected, the Internet IP of these computers is the same. Therefore, if a seller logs in to different eBay accounts through such a computer, it will cause association. Therefore, if a seller wants to open a store with multiple eBay accounts, he needs to choose the following method to prevent association:

1. Find different suppliers to open multiple broadbands. The reason why it is not recommended to open broadband from the same supplier is that the broadband provided by the same supplier in the same community and location all starts from the same base station. These IPs are not only changing, but also similar, so it is easy to encounter IP jumping. Different suppliers can avoid this problem. Of course, you can also buy a dedicated line, but the price is relatively high.

2. Using virtual tools such as cloud servers, they can provide sellers with fixed IPs. However, sellers need to note that their IPs are recycled. Therefore, if sellers are "unfortunate" enough to purchase an IP that was previously purchased and used by other sellers and then no longer purchased, it will also lead to association.

3. Use anti-association tools such as super browsers. They can provide sellers with fixed IP addresses for logging in to different accounts. Of course, sellers need to note that one IP address can only be bound to one account on one platform. If there are multiple accounts on eBay, sellers need to purchase multiple IP addresses and then bind these IP addresses to the eBay account respectively. This way, they can ensure that the fixed IP address can be used to log in to the account for operation.

3. Papal payment collection account

This is the payment method used by eBay, and one papal can be bound to multiple accounts. If sellers bind multiple eBay accounts through papal, once one account is blocked for various reasons, other bound accounts will be reviewed and then associated. For this reason, sellers should not use one papal to bind different eBay accounts for operation.

The above three points are the most basic things that sellers need to do to prevent eBay from associating. Of course, in addition to these points, when using computer equipment, sellers are also advised to use computers to operate different accounts, because the eBay platform can also collect information through computer usage traces, including computer systems, browser cookies, etc. If there are two eBay accounts that are exactly the same in these usage data, then this will also become a factor in eBay's judgment of account association. It can be said that eBay often does not judge the association between two accounts based on a single factor, but will judge based on many factors, and these factors are what sellers leave behind in their daily operations.
