Activity: 0% Longevity: 34% | |  Do Socks5 proxies work just as well as a VPN with a dedicated IP address?
Is there any need to buy or create your own VPN when there are cheap dedicated socks5 proxies out there for creating an eBay Stealth account?
Thanks appreciate it if anyone can tell me if it's worth it. I know a site selling dedicated socks5 for only 3.5 bucks a month maintenance.

Those dedicated socks5 proxies aren't private.

I try to stay away from proxies due to privacy and inconsistency.
I have found that a GOOD VPN is really worth its cheap price.

There are indeed some good proxies that work well with EB/PP. I know because I use several.
The truth is that we are not just going to mention who they are with because making that information public would obviously cause problems.
This takes trial and error. Put the work into finding the right IP, and you will find it's totally worth the effort.

I haven't tried proxies , but tried VPN and VPS, so VPS Comes as a 1st choice , Especially that it's also a seperated equipment , so no need for much setup .

How much do you pay for the proxy?

I pay $2.50/per Proxy.

As Empirestate mentioned above, Multilogin is a great tool for keeping profiles separate and works great with proxies. I get them for less than $2 each and can choose the region/state I want them in. Furthermore, each profile on Multilogin can show that I am using a mix of different OS's and browsers/versions, etc. Even the screen resolution and various fingerprinting/canvas profiles are supported making it that much harder to screw up at being detected by PP/EB.

socks5 proxies doesn't last forever. it can last anywhere from 1 hour to 3 months......it will randomly die out and won't work anymore.
paid vpn service on the other hand is guarantee to last up to the license date you paid for it.

I think a lot of how long a proxy lasts will depend on where you get them from. My provider will let me keep my socks for as long as I like, so long as I pay my fees to retain them. I have yet to have any pulled out from under me. In fact, I have been using some of the ip's for up to 2.5 years already. They are SOCKS4/5/https and are a mix of datacenter & residental ip's. They are non-detectable as proxy by sites such as whoer.com.
I rarely get a bad one, as my eBay & PayPal have yet to have any issues.
I also don't use a crappy proxy either. Cheap isn't always your best option. You get what you pay for.

Even when you pay it sometimes doesn't work out... I had a VPS in Switzerland that I paid 4x the price for compared to the servers I get in the US...
Soon as my 180 day paypal guarantee was up I got migrated to Germany.
