How ebay track your personal information?

The answer is yourself, you supply ebay with your detail personal information, financial data, and your surfing habits. Most of you are not aware when giving these informations.
They record your daily activity based on your computer. they will know within the first few hours of being on ebay. Ebay gather this information by simply putting a trail on your computer when you open their email. (which is known as a Cookies. They will not harm your computer but they can invate your privacy)

In the beginning of 2006, Ebay start using a new technology based on bayesian Filtering. This new technology, is collecting data of ebay user and judge the user by their set standards (they will give you point for each data that they received and your status is based on the calculated averages.)

Limited Paypal Account

Paypal claim that they only hold their limited account user monies for 6 months to make sure that all payments are cleared from fraudulant activities.
And to solve this matter yet, you have to supply them "FULL Disclosure Requirement" just like when you want to re-instate your ebay account. However, sadly this usually this does not help in realeasing your money sooner than 6months.

To make sure you got all your money out before they limit your account:
You have to create 2 bank account: one for paypal/ebay and the other is for personal use.
Always transfer your remaining paypal balance, never let more than a few dollar to accumulate, then to your personal account. (do it as soon as possible... do not wait until paypal freeze your account... you will then have no ability to access your paypal and bank account connected to it.

Money that has been transfer to your personal account can not be touch by paypal.

KEEP IN MIND, Paypal will limit your account and all account associated with yours, if you transfer a large amount of money between paypal accounts.

Does ebay track my window serial numbers?

Ebay used to track window serial numbers, network drive, and hard drive. However, these information is no longer reliable because they are easy to work it around with today's tech.

Therefore installing new windows and reformating your hard drive are not necessary .

Reformating your computer will definetely eliminate the evidence within your computer.

Do NOT use your old auction manager!

Do not use old timbercreek or andale or any other auction manager.

Most of the time when you use your old auction manager they will try to login to your previous registered ebay account which will give ebay a flag on your account. (it usually takes about minutes to find out and suddenly you lose your new account again)

Do not risking it by signing on through your old auction manager... and make sure that you delete your previous turbo lister on your computer and redownload a new one.

If possible, re-format your computer to make sure everything is cleared out. It is best if you use external hard drive to save all your projects and stuff.

How to get your account re-instated by Ebay

In some cases, ebay allowed user to reinstate their account. And here are the list what ebay ask you to provide for them to consider your reinstatement.
But submitting these informations does not always give you the answer that you want to hear. They still can deny your reinstatement for no reason at all.

• a copy of drivers license or state ID
• a copy of birth certificate
• a copy of your social security card
• a copy of your credit card
• a copy of your recent bank statement
• a copy of your past auction invoice with tracking number (to proof that you send the item)
• a copy of invoice from your supplier (to proof that you have the item)
• your signature to their terms and conditions

They will make you feel like a criminal.
This is the way the collect your complete information which can make you harder to get back on later on.

But the questions is.. is this worth risking? don't you think it will make them easier to catch you when you try to get back on?

Get new Phone number any where in the US with Virtual Phone Number?

What is virtual phone number?

A virtual phone number is a telephone number is used to route calls to the user's actual phone number or numbers. Virtual phone numbers are often used to enable long distance service without incurring long distance charges in IP telephony and for call forwarding services, such as find me / follow me.

A virtual phone number makes it possible for someone within a specified area code call an IP telephony user in another area code as if it were a local call.
Here's how it works: A VoIP (voice over IP) customer asks their service provider to assign them a virtual phone number within a desired area code. When someone in that area code dials the virtual phone number, the call registers as if it were local, but seamlessly maps to the customer's actual telephone number. VoIP service providers, such as ViaTalk, typically charge customers a small monthly fee for each virtual phone number.

In find me / follow me, a user may be assigned a virtual phone number. When that number is dialed, the call may be routed among a number of phone numbers at various locations.
