Thanks in advance

If you are using the browser on the phone you don't need a totally new phone, just a new browser will do
The SIM isn't a problem
Do not use the eBay & PayPal APP though!

Thanks for quick response James : )
I want to use the phone only for hotspot and use internet connection with my PC. But i am a newbie with phone tethering and possible i was asked the question not in the clearest way. I read threads here but i am confused about what i need to set up correctly. I tested turning on/off airplane mode and it works. I have a phone with sim card but it was used before and there is suspended eBay account on it. May be it is better i don't use it for stealths ?

You just turn the phone hotspot on
Connect your PC to it
Make sure that the phone doesn't have the eBay or PayPal APP
Make sure your PC is set up correctly

Stealth is simple once you get the hang of it - it becomes common sense. But getting going can get tricky at times.

Other than the app, the only thing to worry about is repeated IP addresses. Create a spreadsheet and log every IP address under which account it was used for. Every time you connect, search the spreadsheet for that IP to see if it already belongs to an account.

No need for ctrl+f / searching. Just paste IP (ensuring no spaces before or after IP), and any duplicates will automatically highlight.

Thanks a lot to all of you guys ! I will never forget people who gave me a hand in a moment like that.
One more and i hope last question, how can i be sure when using phone tethering/hot spot, that some of the IPs is not currently in use/will be used by some other eBay/PayPal client?
Cheers

Cheers | You'll most likely be using IPs used by others, but that isn't an issue. You just need to ensure you don't link your accounts together using the same IPs. So keep track of them to ensure your accounts stay as isolated from one another as possible, so if one ever goes down, its minimises the risk of any others going down with it.

Will update soon, i hope so : ) | The procedure you've mentioned is just one half of stealth.
The other half comes from listing low risk items, low value items, low quantity per listing (preferably 1 per listing), building feedback/rapport with ebay/paypal before increases sales volume etc. To put it in a nutshell, take it slow to begin with.
Other than that, I think your ready. Good Luck | The Following User Says Thank You to Play For This Useful Post: | |

Thanks for everything
I made few weeks browsing cookies history and i hope it is enough. I have found low risk items for the beginning. I plan to put one or max two listings per week, 1€ auctions with free shipping. Feedback will come very soon, i will ship to Europe. I will wait few nice votes and will start to make more listings with low risk items again. I hope to make 15-20 positive feedback for a month. I do not want to rush as you said, because i burned more than 5 eBay accounts before i start reading the forum and the Stealth Book.
Best of luck |

Best of luck | That sounds good. Do the same with a few more accounts, that way if you make any mistakes on one account and lose it, it wont feel like having to start all over again (a mistake I made when I first started, and lost a fully fledged top rated seller account).
Also you said you will ship to Europe, I strongly suggest for the first few months, you stick to your own country. Usually shipping internationally can result in lost/delayed post, this will affect your account metrics. On an established account you can take a few hits, but on a new account, there is no room for error. Play it safe.
Other than that, you seem like your on track with the whole concept of stealth. Bravo! | The Following User Says Thank You to Play For This Useful Post: | |

These words give me more courage and confidence. Thanks again
I should make faster few other accounts. It is absolutely important in these moment for me. I will forget how i did the first I will try to find different low risk item for the other accounts. Now i remembered I forgot to set blocking pictures mode in Gmail and i hope it is not too late to set it up.
About the domestic shipping here in Bulgaria very few people use eBay for shopping, but a lot sell worldwide pretty good. With National post i have used for many years is fast to Europe and UK and the fees are normal. From few months i am using "next day shipping" and i think this is one of many important small steps to build an excellent feedback. | | |
