Using Mobile phone hot spot tethering to create stealth
Has anyone reported suspensions for using their mobile phone hot spot tethering to a laptop to create a stealth account? Just curious cause I heard the Ip's from phone companies gets thrown back into a pool and reused.
Exploring other options than purchasing a VPN if this is possible.

mobile IPs are magnitudes safer than a VPN. Every person using ebay is logging on on a phone. It is the most normal. Almost nobody uses a VPN so that is the least know and trusted.

So eBay and Amazon don't link accounts when two different sellers ending up sharing the same IP address using two different hotspots.
Ex. Two different sellers at a coffee shop, two different sellers working in the same industrial park, or different sellers attending a conference/treadshow

That's definitely one of the factors they'll consider once your account went under review.
And they have their own way to verify that.

They can detect the ip is from a cellular device
They also know that mobile companies recycle ips constantly and hence you shouldn’t experience any issues

Agree with this and while IP is a "soft link", there are other factors involved for linking.
