Re: ebay app for stealth???
 

if the phone has never been used before, you can but the app makes pretty crappy listings.

Welcome to the forums - all the best as you master stealth :thumb:

Avoid use of these bogus apps, in general.

Re: ebay app for stealth???
 

I agree with the app comments.

Using the app is really not that ideal for stealth. The phones serial # (IMEI) and other unique characteristics makes it just that much harder to use more than one EB/PP acct.

You can be sure the eBay app sends a great deal of your hardware info to them, so hiding is gonna be tough.

You shouldn't use the EB app. It's like a window into the soul of your phone, a window EB owns.

But my phone will have no soul. It will be brand new and only used for eBay/PayPal stealth account I purchased. Rather than using the app . How about using the browser and listing that way? I find the app very quick and convenient to use though.

I would only use this phone/SIM solely for my eBay/PayPal I just purchased.

People are telling you 'no', the stealth guide says 'no', and common sense says 'no', but you're determined to do it anyway, so good luck with it.

Be sure when they suspend you and you come back here trying to find out why that you reference this thread so that we don't waste a lot of time trying to figure out why they banned you again.

Common sense. Ok. One person said it was fine. How about using the browser and listing this way? Instead of the app

...Why do you insist on using a phone?

Common sense. Ok. One person said it was fine. How about using the browser and listing this way? Instead of the app. I didn't come here to be bitched at just asking questions I don't know the answer to even if it's common sense

I'm not insisting. Just a phone is around 20£.also data is not connected to my current home ip address. I'm always on the go(work.kids.life) and rarely actually sit in front of a computer. Having a phone is handy as the spare few mins I HV I can eBay.

Re: ebay app for stealth???
 

I guess if you are selling random stuff and dont want quality listings, phone app is OK.

Really, it is very unprofessional to use and very risky but if you never use it for anything else and insist on making crap listings, go for it.

Re: ebay app for stealth???
 

Browser and listing works fine on phone

Re: ebay app for stealth???
 

If you absolutely must, using the browser to list is fine. Just avoid the app if you ever intend to make more shops.

Dallis: You shouldn't use the EB app

RSOT: Avoid use of these bogus apps, in general.

Nickopedia: Using the app is really not that ideal for stealth. The phones serial # (IMEI) and other unique characteristics makes it just that much harder to use more than one EB/PP acct.

+ the stealth guide says don't.

Then there's:

Yankee: Really, it is very unprofessional to use and very risky

I guess that last is kind of a positive... kind of... sort of... sounds more like a negative to me...

4:1 'no' against the app. Or 5:0 if you count the last one as a negative.

I do have an extra phone dedicated to one account where I use the browser. BUT it's a huge pain, and you still have to log the IP, and you have to keep it off the local home internet service which is always wants to hook up to and which would screw the account, and it's hard to do stuff on the small screen and to type even emails. I just use it for when I travel once in a while, and I may just give up on it altogether at some point soon.

Take it for what it's worth.

Thanks for your time and input
Everyone. I'm gonna use the browser on a new phone for now. 👍

Re: ebay app for stealth???
 

hm... interesting thread. what about I cheap cellphone? I; agrenot to use the eBay app for posting things on eBay. use your computer. however, what about using a cheap cell phone, used or brand new .. whatever. it's never been used before.
based on that info .
can you use your new phone to check and reply messages? do you have to disguise your IP address or not needed?
please have in mind that you've used before your IP address in YOUR computer for a banned eBay account before. but... you got your new phone etc..

is that ok, or do you still have to change your real IP address?

thanks guys. I hope they make sense.

Re: ebay app for stealth???
 

@mpfteam, forget using the ebay app - garbage

Re: ebay app for stealth???
 

The only use I could see for a dedicated phone for an ebay stealth account would be so your phone would go cha ching when you got a sale, that was kinda cool.

Re: ebay app for stealth???
 

I have a account that’s in a friends name address bank etc so basically his account (he’s not banned) Can I use a new phone (never used on eBay before) with a 4g modem (no sim in phone) I use the modem on a separate laptop for eBay anyway just this account
Is it safe to use app?

Thanks
