Same Computer, different accounts.

My wife and I use the same computer but have different Ebay usernames, email and PayPal accounts, and separate Ebay bills.


 


In the past Ebay allowed us to post auctions separately. Now when my wife tries to sell it switches automatically to my account. Why?


 


I don't think it is the ISP addy - my daughter uses the same and doesn't seem to have a problem.


 


Although I have used all my 40 free posts this month I don't think it has been an issue in the past.


 


No settings have been changed. Is there a new Ebay policy causing this?

Yep, same here.  I use different browsers, but also the private window settings as well.  It means you can have many ID's open all at the same time, but you have to have a really good memory...

If you only have a couple IDs then you can stay on the same browser,just log onto ebay.com .au for the 1st and also ebay.com for the 2nd

And end up not being able to see listings from Aus sellers unless you select worldwide and the item you are after is listed for sale outside Australia and even more problematic forget to change back when selling something and listing on the US site by mistake.....not the best advice I have read!

You use your seller ID on the US site so you can still check on your sales and your buyer ID on the aussie site simple

Might not be the best advice to you PJ but it works

But the OP was intimating that he and the other half both sell. How does your idea solve that issue? Did you read the OP?
