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!

use the residential IP from ipburger and keep using that consistently.

Re: Switching to Residential Proxy
 

That was my plan but wanted to make sure if I switch it now, 2 weeks in, it will be ok and not get the account suspended.

Re: Switching to Residential Proxy
 

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.

Re: Switching to Residential Proxy
 

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

Re: Switching to Residential Proxy
 

Just use mobile IP tethering, no need to waste your mo ney with residential

Re: Switching to Residential Proxy
 

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

Re: Switching to Residential Proxy
 

I have a mobile phone that I could use to hotspot however this phone was previously associated to a deactivated account and has the amazon seller app currently installed. 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?

Re: Switching to Residential Proxy
 

I am in Ontario and the account I opened is using details in the same city I currently reside in. Can you explain why no proxy is needed?

Re: Switching to Residential Proxy
 

I have Bluetooth, USB, and Ethernet tethering option on my current phone. I am wondering for example:

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)?

Re: Switching to Residential Proxy
 

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

Re: Switching to Residential Proxy
 

The residential IP won't get you suspended.

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

Re: Switching to Residential Proxy
 

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.

Re: Switching to Residential Proxy
 

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?

Re: Switching to Residential Proxy
 

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

Re: Switching to Residential Proxy
 

Okay, do you want to have peace of mind and conduct business consistently or do you want to cut corners to save $50 ?

Re: Switching to Residential Proxy
 

It is not about cutting corners if both are viable, safe options. $50 is nothing but if one option is more convenient for me then obviously I'd choose that. 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.

Re: Switching to Residential Proxy
 

Can anyone confirm these questions?

Re: Switching to Residential Proxy
 

Tethering can be used for multiple stealth amazon accounts BUT NOT on the same phone - use fresh devices.

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

Re: Switching to Residential Proxy
 

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.

Re: Switching to Residential Proxy
 

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?

Re: Switching to Residential Proxy
 

that's not what I meant - you can use the same device to connect, yes that's fine.

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