Continuous issues with IP address

[Ipproblem]

Hello everyone,

First post here, so I do hope I am posting this in the right place.

My IP address is continually showing in different cities, I live in London. Many times the address shows in cities where EE has their main offices, this is causing many problems with sites which use geolocation.

 I am selling some bits from my home on ebay, well attempting to. Many times when logging in I am getting security messages telling me someone is signing in from a different location. That location is where the IP address happens to be that day.

I opened a Facebook account and it was immediately closed, my location was up north.

I sell some stuff on ebay, it always goes to the same areas my IP address shows in.

I sign into my Twitter account and immediately get a warning someone is signing in from a different location, that is always the location my IP is showing in.

I sign into paypal, they send me a warning telling me someone might be attempting to sign in from a different location.

I could go on and on, but I am sure you get the picture. Having my IP address showing in different UK locations is causing me issues on a daily basis and making some sites flag me as some sort of scammer.

Is there anything that can be done, or is this a lost cause?

Right now I am showing as being in Brighton, the router has been reset, unlpugged, switched off over and over again. It is making no difference at all.

Any suggestions will be greatly received, right now I am waiting for an engineer to look at my router. I have already had it changed last year, made no difference. For a while the IP showed in London, all was well, but it has started again recently and this will be the last time I try resolving before closing the account and choosing a different provider.

Thank you!

ebay, although they don't make this very clear (they have a habit of making things unclear) shows listings closer to your location.  I can clearly see this as sales always go to areas where my IP shows in. Whenever it showed the IP in Bristol, this went on for nearly a year, sales were concentrated around that area. The same happened with other areas.

It really is that easy, unfortunately.

People think that listings are able to be seen all over the UK, this is not the case at all. Ebay does all sorts of things with listings, using geolocation is one of them.

When my IP showed in London, and surrounding areas, security warning never appeared from any site I visited, as soon as my IP showed much farther than my physical location, it all started again.

You can see that by the Twitter messages I posted. Websites clearly state that an attempt was made to sign in from a different machine, or location. It's no fluke.

I don't use Windows, the machine is running on Linux.

The problems only occur when the IP location is completely wrong, only then and never when in London or close by. Believe me, I have checked my IP every time this has happened and taken screenshots of the warnings and the IP location.

I was asked to send this to EE, I did, it all went quiet and nothing was done. Suddenly, it changed to London and all was perfectly fine, it changed recently and the issues all started again. It is no coincidences. It happens too many times and with too many websites.

Linux has geolocation too. Are you sure it is not turned on?
