Real sellers hand in hand to teach you to configure eBay multi-account IP
Mr. Zhang, an eBay cross-region operator, has recently encountered a headache: his store, which has just been registered for three months, has suddenly been blocked, and even his other two accounts have been restricted from logging in. The reason given by the platform is the "risk of account association", which is actually very common in the cross-border e-commerce circle. Let's talk about how to use proxy IP to solve this problem.
Why is your eBay account always associated?
Let's look at a real case: newbie seller Wang operates three stores at the same time, logging in with U.S., German and Australian IPs respectively. One day, he suddenly received a warning from the platform, and after checking, he found that all three accounts uploaded products at a fixed time late at night. Although the IP is different, the regularity of the operation time exposes the traces of human manipulation.
There is a key point here that is often overlooked:In addition to IP addresses, browser fingerprints, device MAC addresses, and operational behavior patterns may trigger correlation detection. But today let's focus on addressing the IP level.
Hands-on configuration tips for independent IP pools
When you create an account in the ipipgo backend, it is recommended to check the "Independent IP Pool" function directly. Here is a tip: group the IPs corresponding to accounts in different countries by continent. For example, European stores rotate with UK+Germany+France IPs, and American stores alternate with US+Canada IPs.
| Account Type | Recommended IP configuration |
|---|---|
| Main Store | Fixed country static IP |
| New product test number | Dynamic Residential IP (same continent) |
| Alternate stores | Mobile Network IP |
A special note of caution:Each browser environment must be bound to a separate IPThe ipipgo client allows you to directly assign specific IPs to different browser windows. In the ipipgo client, you can directly assign specific IPs to different browser windows to avoid slipping and using the wrong IP.
Hidden play with multi-protocol support
Many sellers only know the difference between http and socks5 protocols, in fact, the combination of different protocols can enhance the covert. It is recommended to match in this way:
- Product upload using socks5 protocol (high transmission stability)
- Customer service message processing goes by http protocol (simulates normal user behavior)
- Data acquisition tasks with socks4 protocol (reduced resource consumption)
There is a useful function in the protocol settings of ipipgo:Intelligent protocol switching. The system will automatically match the best agreement type based on the current operation, this feature is recommended to be turned on throughout the day.
Five Pitfalls Newbies Tread Easily
1. Misuse of data center IPs: cheap but high recognition rate, recommended to use only residential IPs
2. IP switching is too frequent: a single account IP change no more than 3 times a day is good!
3. Ignore DNS leaks: Turn on the "DNS Protection" switch in the ipipgo client.
4. Mixed use of the same IP segment: Ensure that the IPs of different accounts come from different ISP providers
5. Forgot to clear the browser cache: every time you switch accounts, you have to create a new browser environment
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What should I do if I use a proxy IP and still get associated?
A: First check if the browser fingerprints are the same, then make sure the IP is pure. We recommend using ipipgo's IP quality checker tool, which can show the blacklist status of IPs in real time.
Q: Which is better, dynamic IP or static IP?
A: the main account with a static IP to raise weight, the backup account with a dynamic IP safer. ipipgo support two types of switching at any time, it is recommended that according to the store level flexible choice.
Q: Do I need to buy separate packages for each account?
A: No need. With ipipgo's IP pool function, all accounts share IP resources, and the background can set IP allocation rules to avoid repeated use.
Finally remind all sellers: platform algorithms are upgraded every quarter, it is recommended that every three months with ipipgo IP diagnostic function to do a comprehensive test. Especially before the big promotion activities, do a good job in advance of the IP environment stress test, after all, account security is the foundation of money.
