Safe to log into Ebay via Android with Wi-Fi disabled?

survivorfan1985 · #1 07-29-2015

Ok so I have just started using my first stealth account and have followed the guide step by step. I'm wondering if it's safe to log into Ebay via my Android phone with the Wi-Fi turned off? When I'm on the net via my Wi-Fi I'm sure Ebay would/could link me to my old account I assume. What about without the Wi-fi? Can they see it's me?

technically speaking as far a IP goes, you will be using the IP address supplied by your cell carrier & not your home wifi when the wifi is turned off.

However The ebay app is generally deemed to be very unsafe. and should always be avoided. Most if not all of the experts here recommend you NOT use ebay app.

Much safer to stick with a computer.

If you followed the guide step by step, you wouldn't even touch ebay app.

I actually was not referring to using the Ebay app. I was talking about logging into ebay thru my phone via the net.

Same question I've just posted too on another thread. Let's wait for an answer now then.

You can log into your Ebay account via web browser with your Phone, Tablets. The only thing is that you might have to delete cookies, Browsing History.

as MM78 said.

You can do this on your web browser. forget about the app. Delete it.

Also this can be risky. At any moment you can forget you have wifi enabled.
I wouldn't recommend this method.

I would prefer you log onto ebay from a home computer, but as long as your cookies/ browsing are cleared on the phone you should be fine. just remember to always turn off your wifi.
