  • no, because they have your IP adress stored which blocks you from there account, (see IP down below) Domain names Main article: Domain Name System A network lookup service, the Domain Name System (DNS), provides the ability to map hostnames to an IP address. This allows humans to easily remember a name and not a series of numbers. DNS allows multiple addresses and names to point to one Internet resource. Another reason for DNS is to allow, for example, a web site to be hosted on multiple servers (each with its own IP address) provides for rudimentary load balancing. For example, www.wikipedia.org resolves to 207.142.131.248. Note: 207.142.131.248 is both Wikipedia and Wikimedia. The web browser sends the desired hostname as a part of the request, allowing the web server to present the appropriate page. Dynamic and static IP addresses Dynamic Dynamic IP addresses are issued to identify non-permanent devices such as personal computers or clients. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) use dynamic allocation to assign addresses from a small pool to a larger number of customers. This is used for dial-up access, WiFi and other temporary connections, allowing a portable computer user to automatically connect to a variety of services without needing to know the addressing details of each network. Users with a dynamic IP may have trouble running their own email server as in recent years services such as mail-abuse.org [1] have collected lists of dynamic IP ranges and blocked them. Dynamic IP address allocation requires a server to listen for requests and then assign an address. Addresses can be assigned at random or based on a predetermined policy. The most common protocol used to dynamically assign addresses is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). DHCP includes a lease time which determines how long the requester can use an address before requesting its renewal, allowing addresses to be reclaimed if the requester goes offline. It is common to use dynamic allocation for private networks. Since private networks rarely have an address shortage, it is possible to assign the same address to the same computer on each request or to define an extended lease time. These two methods simulate static IP address assignment. [edit] Static Static IP addresses are used to identify semi-permanent devices with constant IP addresses. Servers typically use static IP addresses. The static address can be configured directly on the device or as part of a central DHCP configuration which associates the device's MAC address with a static address. [edit] IP versions The Internet Protocol has two primary versions in use. Each version has its own defintion of an IP address. Because of its prevalence, "IP address" typically refers to those defined by IPv4. [edit] IP version 4 Main article: IPv4#Addressing IPv4 uses 32-bit (4 byte) addresses, which limits the address space to 4,294,967,296 (232) possible unique addresses. However, many are reserved for special purposes, such as private networks (~18 million addresses) or multicast addresses (~1 million addresses). This reduces the number of addresses that can be allocated as public Internet addresses, and as the number of addresses available is consumed, an IPv4 address shortage appears to be inevitable in the long run. This limitation has helped stimulate the push towards IPv6, which is currently in the early stages of deployment and is currently the only contender to replace IPv4. [edit] IP version 5 What would be considered IPv5 existed only as an experimental non-IP real time streaming protocol called ST2, described in RFC 1819. In keeping with standard UNIX release conventions, all odd-numbered versions are considered experimental, and this version was never intended to be implemented; the protocol was not abandoned. RSVP has replaced it to some degree. [edit] IP version 6 Main article: IPv6#Addressing In IPv6, the new (but not yet widely deployed) standard protocol for the Internet, addresses are 128 bits wide, which, even with generous assignment of netblocks, should suffice for the foreseeable future. In theory, there would be exactly 2128, or about 3.403 × 1038 unique host interface addresses. The exact number is 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456. This large address space will be sparsely populated, which makes it possible to again encode more routing information into the addresses themselves.
  • If you got kicked off e bay, it was for good reason. What makes you think you ought to go back on, for fraudulent purposes again? I'll be sending this to feedback as it's tatamount to AB condoning illegal behaviour.
  • Whether you think you were in the wrong or not, you were kicked off. Suppose it was possible for you to use eBay via your friend's account (it's not identity theft if your friend is doing the work based on your input) - how would your friend feel if their account got suspended for doing the same thing that got you kicked off eBay in the first place, or anything else for that matter. No - my advice would be this - if you are innocent as you claim you are, then find a way to resolve the issue with eBay. Try to look at it another way. If I went bankrupt and could no longer secure a credit card, should I be allowed to ask my friend to charge something on their card for me? That puts a lot of responsibility on my friend. If they were really my friend, they would likely say 'no way'. P.S.: It would really help if you explained why you think you were wrongfully dismissed by eBay. Otherwise, people will naturally conclude you were at fault.
  • Okay! Well, here goes. I had been a seller for over 2 years, 600+ feedback. All of a sudden one day, without warning, ebay took off ALL my listings and said "If you'd like to continue listing items please send us A. a utility bill B. your drivers license C. a signed user agreement" Obviously worded a little different. Anyways, so I fax a signed user agreement...the next day they suspended my account without any warning. Their reason was something along the lines of...I could cost them money somehow? I have NO idea. Tried to contact them, they haven't been good about answering emails...at all. I also had another separate account that my boyfriend and I shared...they suspended that one for "shill bidding" which neither of us did. They won't answer emails for that one either. So...I obviously feel wronged here. And I'd like to sell on ebay again.
  • Oh and by the way. It isn't identity theft if that person agrees to it...and is sitting right there with me...listing these items along with me on ebay...fully aware. I'm not just going to use my friends account without her knowledge.
