Activity: 12% Longevity: 38% | | Switching to Residential Proxy
Made a mistake opening my first stealth account using my friends info and his Wi-Fi. Not realizing how inconvenient it would be having to drive to his place every time I want to access the account.
The account is ~2 weeks old, I am wondering if I get a Residential Proxy now and start using it to access the account if it will raise any red flags this early and possibly get the account suspended or if it should be fine.
Thanks!

I'm kind of confused on the proper proxy to even get.
I see residential, static residential and fresh and dedicated.
What is the best for running this single account. Or in time running 3-4 accounts. I'm based in Canada so static residential doesn't seem to be an option but then with residential it says your IP changes potentially every 30 minutes. This seems like something you wouldn't want.
Sorry very new to this, I've read lots but just don't want to make any mistakes with this new account.

are you able to use your mobile phone as a hotspot, meaning you will use your mobile data to connect to the internet.

OP, if you're in Canada, you don't need proxy - unless you are trying for other country IP?

I assume that will be a problem for linking?
If I was to get a second new phone and then just put my current sim in a new phone to use as a hotspot when I need to access the account would that work?

I have a deactivated seller account at my current residence on my current wifi. The phone is also associated with the deactivated account and uses the same wifi. Can I be on my current wifi network with this current phone and use it to tether the laptop that is associated with the new account?
If not, what would be the alternative? New phone same SIM? New phone and new SIM and not to ever access using home wifi, only mobile data? Does location matter when accessing (not from home address)?

Also wondering how tethering or mobile hotspot could work for accessing multiple accounts using the same phone?

If you get suspended it'll be something else going on.

Using the phone for tethering will be OK even though you have got an eBay app on it which is permanently suspended. It can not be associated when used as a tether.
If you live in the country of the eBay account keep your money on your bank account as in my opinion residential I P are only good for out of country sellers who are registered in eBay in Canada as a seller.

Sorry to confirm this is the Amazon seller app on the phone with the deactivated account.
Stealth Account is in Canada and I am in Canada.
Just want to confirm I can tether using the phone from this deactivated account anywhere, even while the phone is connected to the wifi at my home address where I have also used the deactivated account on other devices.
Can I also use tethering for multiple stealth amazon accounts with the same phone?

Sorry that I said eBay, it will still be OK for the phone as a tether for Amazon.

This is why I'm asking for clarification on tethering because if its viable for my situation, then its viable. If not, then Residential Proxy.
I did ask for clarification on Residential Proxy vs static residential vs fresh vs dedicated for my situation but I didn't get a response. I have read into the product options and they all seem like they would be suitable for operating a stealth account but everyone hammers residential proxy without much explanation. That's why I'm trying to understand the benefits or other options before making a decision.

I wouldn't risk the link of using this device for other accounts

| Rubbish, I've used the same device to connect all my accounts on ebay and Amazon for well over a decade now.
They can see absolutely no information about it other than the IP address.

OP, as others have said you are absolutely fine using your phone to tether your account. There is no risk and is certainly a better option than a V.P.N or proxy.
Assuming you have a dynamic IP on your home broadband why are you not using this?

I meant using the same device for amazon accounts - like operating new amazon accounts on the same old device already used.
