Perhaps the $15K /30day trailing limit is per family or address, not per person. So anyone attempting to bypass it is getting banned. Any DP's to the contrary?

I was $11.5K in 30 days and I appear to be banned. I am the only one in my household ms'ing.

$8K in on the 30 days between two accounts.

May I ask why you needed 2 accounts then? If your payment is under a family member's name, you can simply change the name on the account during the checkout.

I'm not 100% familiar with tethering, but you're saying that you connect your laptop (I'm assuming) to your data equipped cell phone via a USB cable, and then send the order to GCM over the cellular network's data connection? Or do you take the simpler approach, and go from TCB to GCM on your phone, and then submit the order from your phone?

If you're actually tethering, can you elaborate on how you do this? Mac or PC, iPhone or Android, 3rd party software used, etc.

I was simply preparing to ramp up. I had full intentions of hitting the $15k/account before the rolling 30 days was up. I did ONE transaction in my wife's account that was delivered of that $8K before getting the error when I tried to make her second one.

I probably should have just waited until I hit $15K on the first one before moving to the next... C'est la vie.

who uses usb cables these days?

Tethering is wireless, your cell plans need to have it.

No software needed. Its native on most phones.

Its called hotspot on android at least on mine

On your mobile device, go to "Settings" - "Wireless & Networks" - "More Settings", then enable either USB Tethering or Mobile Hotspot. For your purpose, using a USB cable is much simpler & secure without having to mess with encryption and passwords.
This process gets you a different IP address from your home network without a VPN.

Yes, your phone/carrier needs to have a tether/hotspot option enabled, then connect your computer to your phone through wifi/usb/bluetooth and share the 4G/LTE connection. It's cross platform (Mac/Linux/Windows -> Android/iPhone).

I tried using Safari on my phone and it worked, so it might be a browser issue. I am back in business!

Delivered again today with an unsealed envelope.

Don't get too excited, TCB is not paying.

I got paid today from TCB on an order placed on January 18th, please don't spread misinformation.

Oh really? I didn't get paid since January 15th. If I say that does it mean I am spreading misinformation?

Why would TCB pay you for a purchase made on January 18th and not for my purchases on January 15th. It doesn't make sense. You're the one spreading misinformation. Not cool, Java
