Default What information can ebay see about device when using Android browsers?

I am wondering if anybody knows or rather speculates what information ebay can see about a android phone/tablet when using different browsers.

When using 2 or 3 different browsers to manage 1 account per browser + cookies what can ebay see about the device? Since it counts as 1 username can ebay make a link? Since its android the default username would be the same for each phone of the same make, or can they dig deeper and see Android id? I know ebay app can do this since a app can see everything, but a browser is not directly controlled by ebay.

I would use different user accounts (like a PC) as some phones have that function. Or you could root them to have the functionality. Search in Google about separate users for your phone model (and if it doesn't have it how to root it for the porpouse)

Yeah I realise that. This is what I am trying to deternine. I have used same phone, same browser all in incognito tabs to manage literally 100s of burner buyer accounts for feedback building etc but this was 2017-20 with current measures it would be a waste of time. I am trying to determine how using the same user on Android will impact this.

I have root, also cyanogen mod gives multiple user accounts. Problem is root will on my work on main account not extra guest accounts which then provides a problem restoring cookies because programs like titanium backup require root

I would suggest to never share the same cookies/cache and IP. You should be good. And browsing in incognito is very bad. You’re looking like a new user everytime you sign in. It will raise red flags

...
And what about using any of the following devices?. Then you got multiple users and don't have to root the phone. Am I right?:
"Cyanogen commercially developed operating systems that came pre-installed on some devices (OnePlus One, YU Yureka, YU Yuphoria, Andromax Q, BQ Aquaris X5, Lenovo ZUK Z1, Wileyfox Swift, Wileyfox Storm, Alcatel ONETOUCH POP Mirage) based upon the CyanogenMod source code"

Everything about the phone and your internet connection too.

Agree - incognito wipes out cookies and resets profile - looks odd on platform side
