Virtual Private Network. Basically it gives you a fake IP address, but it's legal. People use them for security reasons, but also use them for unscrupulous reasons.

 

If you are permanently suspended from eBay AU, are you permanently banned from all eBay sites? I'm wondering whether John could start again (EEEK) on eBay Germany. Anyone can sign up with them without residing there.

Does that also mean that the accounts I set up before I moved house will be totally seperate from any new ones if I'm careful about all the other info (paypal id, address and all the rest)?

No, they won't be separate because as soon as you login to those accounts at your new house, they will share the same IP address with your regular accounts. If you go to someone else's house and login, you will be matched up with their IP address from their ISP.

If you're with an ISP that gives you a new IP address each time you turn your router on it might be a bit easier to get around it, but if you have a static IP, you can't because a number is assigned to you and you keep that number.
