Dial-Up Connection (Yep!)

Don’t knock it.. it works!

If ALL else fails… dialup is a proven strategy for a new IP Address. You’ll get a new IP address each time you connect, and it’s cheap! The only downside is that it’s slow, but isn’t that worth it to get back to selling?

Depending on the dialup service you choose you should have access to quite a few dial-in numbers, each giving you a different range of IP addresses. A good strategy is to use different dial-in numbers for every eBay account you create. Doing so makes sure your IP Address is never the same for any two eBay accounts. Makes sense?

Worldwide: Go to Google and type: “[your city] dialup”

As for managing your account I recommend using an auction lister such as ‘Auctiva’. We’ll discuss the different selling tools later in the guide. Just know that using an auction lister tool such as Auctiva enables you to manage your account without having to log back into eBay.

Auctiva along with other auction lister tools will not share your IP address with eBay so you can use your broadband connection with Auctiva. Make sure when you create your token, linking eBay to Auctiva, that you use your dialup connection. After that you can use whatever internet connection you like with Auctiva to manage your account.

Next we’ll discuss public networks!
